Well after several dry months of not uncovering any new Obey .. I get a facebook message out of the blue. Local collector saw a comment where I alluded to my retro collections main focus being TG16 and PCE. Informs me he has a TG16 CD-Rom addon he'd be willing to part with. Having seen alot of beat up, loose, needing repair units I advised him to send me some photos, and a ballpark price. I didn't wait around for the photos, but when I checked the next morning it was a boxed TG16 CD-Rom addon
Well, now he has my attention. Box looks to be ~7/10, but he gives a backstory that the unit itself was found in a warehouse that use to give out promotional items. So he said despite wear and tear from being moved around all these year, the internal contents are mint .. and that he believes the system has never been used. So anyway, this is what I picked up. I included photos taken during the unboxing as it really does appear this has never been used. The content are indeed very very clean. I am a very very happy Obey-er at this point.
It came with 4 CD games (Exile, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Buster Bros. , and Neo Nectaris). Assuming seller came by this via other means as they were not sealed, and Neo Nectaris is missing manual.
Alittle look around the backside .. thinking I can gently remove some of these light marks. Will leave it for now however.
Now some unboxing. Styrofoam and baggie all very clean and minty.
Carrying case is minty .. small plastic is still over the TG16 logo (resisting urge to peel it off)
Again .. all styrofoam, packaging is mint. Really starting to believe this was never sold at retail or used.
Not a scratch or scuff on the main deck .. clean, clean, clean (Obey porn!)
These have been opened before, but also look unused. Anyone know if there where suppose to be any other inserts with this when new ?
CD unit all nice and boxed, and very clean also
And last photo (sorry for the long run .. taking up alot of thread space. But hopefully others enjoyed seeing this.)
I'm very pleased with this find. This was something I never got to purchase new as a teenager. I recall going into my local Radio Shack and looking at it, but was a young teenager and just didn't have the funds to grab one.
In my travels as an adult, not something I've come across. Occasionally seeing various loose, in poor to good condition. So had to jump at this when the opportunity arose.
