Yeah, I love the bat-a-rang controllers on the CD32. Never played one though.

Yeah, Commodore wasn't exactly into sleek styling. The controller is cool looking, though.

If you cut the Commodore in half exactly where than line runs by the CD door, the right side looks like an old-school answering machine.

Hahaha, good eye! Old answering machines are the bane of my existence. When I'm digging through thrift stores, they always look like they might be something interesting from afar... then you get up close and you're like, "Aw, shit."  #-o

Also, NO ONE buys them. What's the point these days? They're not even collectible! Get 'em off the shelves and put more dusty old consoles out, dammit!

Even though I loved Teleroboxer, Virtual Boy gets my vote. It kinda has that Ford Edsel look; so hideous it's actually intrinsically cool.

I think I still have my Viewfinders packed away. I have a crap load of slides as well. I have some Star Trek Animated slides too if I recall. Man, I'm going to have to pull that stuff out.

Awesome, I got some first-season TNG slides for it in '88 or something. I had lots of other slides before that, but I don't remember any others aside from the TNG ones, heh.
