I was thinking it was an JVC X'Eye, as I had never heard of one, and a friend randomly gave me his for I do believe $50 (along with other things) when he was moving out of state. If someone was looking for years for something, that is a rare piece of equipment that not a bunch of people know about. |

Got Ristar on Ebay CIB for $47, about the going rate for a nice cartridge with manual, and well under the $100+ that CIB's are going for. I knew it wasn't perfect, but I couldn't tell from the photo in the auction that it was actually wrapped in plastic (sticky on the inside). The "protector" looked bad up close as I could see air pockets, so I decided to remove it. As I was peeling it I realized it was leaving behind strong sticky residue. I asked for advice in another thread on how to remove sticky residue, and I used Goo Gone and got it all off with minimal damage to the box. Still, even with the damage that removing the plastic caused, it's still in better condition than most cardboard box games from this era. I have no idea why a previous owner thought it would be a good idea to wrap the cardboard slipcover in sticky plastic, but now I have a nice copy for my collection for a decent price. |

Wow. I didn't mean for this thing to turn in to a guessing game. Took a little longer to clean up than I originally thought. It was grimy and musty, but cleaned up pretty well. It came without any cables, so I had to order a 3rd party power adapter which works pretty well. Kind of hard to find a 9.5V 1.5A power supply. Anyway, some of you were correct - a JVC X'Eye! I have wanted one of these FOREVER. Being a big Sega Genesis fan this thing is an obscure little gem. I would take this over a Sega CDX any day for my collection. This one works perfectly and aside from some scratches is in great shape. I picked up this beauty along with that lot of games from a guy selling A LOT of stuff. I was tempted to buy more, but really I was pushing it with $250. All in all, a good day. :D |
