PC Engine GT Screen Magnifier
« on: March 09, 2016, 11:24:49 AM »
So I have been playing and collecting the PC Engine since the late 80s and have always been intrigued by the wealth of different hardware that is available for the system... which is why I created www.pc-engine.co.uk

But during this time I have never ever seen a Screen Magnifier for the PC Engine GT... but one has now turned up.

Now i'm trying to research this and google returns absolutely nothing... and I mean nothing, not even a picture.

So the question is, does anyone know anything about it... where does it come from, who made it etc..? Anything would be great to hear.

Cheers.

Cool find, man!  I don't ever recalling seeing such a thing before.  Does it fit well on the system and actually help?

This is a really cool find! Best thing since the 3D/VR addon prototype for the TE/GT




Awesome!

I have the monocle VR prototype.



BACK ON TOPIC:
I have never seen a screen magnifier...but I'll keep a lookout for any references to it, now!

I can't imagine it was popular...maybe it was included with copies of TRICKY KICK.
