Lucky person! I only ever "rented" a Veccy from a local electronics shop for a few days at a time, me being a devout G7000/Odyssey owner at the time (and heavily into LCD handhelds/tabletops - as am I still!).

Keeping your original machine is SO much more rewarding I think - getting something back that you loved as a kid but sold is cool, but digging your ACTUAL machine from the loft is way better. I still kept my original "Ball" Nintendo Game n Watch (the first on out of the series) so thats pretty special to me. And my first ever Pong!

The Lightpen and Imager (and the art cart) are really sought after - look after and enjoy!!!
