I‘m about to head out to one of my local retro game stores, Old School Player. They have or at least I hope they still have the Bentley Compuvision Pong style console. They want $30 for it . I’m going to see if they would do $25. If not then I’ll do the $30. Also GS has buy 2 get 1 on used games and accessorie. I may pick up some cheap games just to build my PS3 collection. Anyway, look for pictures either way.

 

Later,

Homeless!

I held off on the Bentley today. The box and console are in great condition. The unit also has the old school tv Switcher also the manual. The reason I didn’t get it was the power adapter wasn’t with it, i mean you can use 4 AA batteries to run it I hoped it had the power cable. I found a power adapter last night online I might order it then head back to crab the console.

Those are definitely the Bentley of joysticks.

I rebuilt up my PS3 collection a few months ago at GS. I could get some more too.

Even though it was out dated when it was released, the ability to move the controls to play away from the unit would have been a seller 6 years earlier.

I love the design of the controllers. I kind of want one that will work on my current gen systems to play stuff in the retro collections like Atari Flashback Classics.

My family had a Pong machine. It was a knockoff and not an Atari or Sears Pong machine. I think it's packed away in storage somewhere.

I only want about 3 of them. This is the first I’ve came across in the wild.

Probably the one Pong game I would be interested in seeing is Nintendo's Pong console which was Japan-only.

Someone has one on eBay for $100, operation condition not known. I don’t buy online so I’ll pass, lol. I figured if I get one of the Intellagame pong machines and the Bentley that should be enough. Right now I’m buying cheap filler games for my Wii and PS3 collections.

My dad built our first TV using a Heathkit catalog.  When he built it, he added a generic Pong console in the back that you could pull out and play when it was on a certain channel.  I was so young that I didn't realize that was a video game.  I just thought it was something you could do on the TV when there was nothing else on.

Nice! We only had the Atari VCS so I had paddle pong on the system.
