James Channel - Floatplane These are all the video game things I get as I get them. I’ve been collecting retro video games and arcade machines for more than half my life and fiddling with electronics for even longer. I want to share the adventure! See the things I find, the things I fix, and the things I do with my collection. I will post a photo of every single video game and arcade related item I get, even the ones I don’t plan to keep.

I kept seeing videos of people playing non-racing games with these. Looked like a bad time so I bought one.

Currently in Bali and came across this guy.

A 5 card booster for IDR 150,000 is a bit steep but I assume out of print here just like everywhere else. Current 5 card boosters were IDR 30,000-35,000.


I plan to post a quick unedited video here on floatplane opening it and inevitably getting zero hits.

I got both the full VB recreation and the cardboard version!

One day late 😡

Video underway.

This thing was on clearance at Big W. Pretty sure it’s a bad projector (720p) and I KNOW it’ll be a bad game console.

It’s not owning up to any particular operating system or anything about the games so it’s gonna be trash for sure.

This came from the junk Christmas gift clearance section in Kmart.

I needed a game for my Kids Station controller so I just grabbed the cheapest one on ebay. I didn’t check all the photos properly though so I only discovered how faded the back was when it arrived 😂

I found this while rummaging through the box of 1 Grit victims for spare parts. I guess this one was lucky enough to escape intact! Now it has a safe home.

Gotta love a good clearance bin.


Also.. I think Warner Bros might need to learn how numbers work.

These batts came with an RC car one of my kids got for Christmas. I am keeping them and gave him some better ones as a trade 😂

Because apparently a touch pad is better than a D-pad?

I did a video on these a while back but I only had the HG-501 at the time. The HG-502 is listed in catalogs but it is still unknown whether it actually exists. This one, the HG-503 is pretty much the same thing as the 501 but with gun-containing games swapped out for more boring titles. The LCD screen also looks to be slightly different.

This one is thrashed with a crack in the plastic over the screen and a broken battery terminal. Judging by the notch cut in the battery cover and the prison-macguyver spec modifications on one of the power adaptors I think the battery terminal broke from jamming the power connector into it and twisting another wire around another battery terminal. Batteries are probably hard to get in prison.

This actually looks like it isn’t a NES clone.. probably..

Just picked up this lot. The highlight here for me is the Game.Com pocket pro; The second release of the Tiger Game.Com. A very bad console from the late 90's.

All of these systems are faulty in some way but honestly fixing them is probably more fun than the gameplay anyway.
