This is an interesting ad. He is open about the Game Gear not working. However, if it is unreparable, I still think the games, cases and A/C adapter alone are worth the $20. I talked to him today and we are going to try and meet next week. If I can get it working, I will be really happy. I'm looking for a Game Gear that I can mod to get video out to a TV.

Success. Just picked up the Game Gear today. $20 for the Game Gear with original A/C adapter, and five games, all with their original cases.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Primal Rage
Crash Test Dummies
Chakan
Psychic World
I already knew that the system didn’t work correctly. However, even if it is unrepairable, I still think I got my money’s worth for the games, cases and A/C adaptor.
The system turns on, I can hear sound, and I can actually play the games. I just have a black screen. I’m hoping it’s just the capacitors, but we will have to open it up and see. Does anyone know if this is a common symptom of bad capacitors?

What's this all about? Of all the Nintendo systems, I know the least about the N64. Are these related to the N64 DD or are these some type of developer carts?
