Epoch Electrotennis - MIB - Display Only

A grand centrepiece to any serious Pong collection for reasons both aesthetic and historical. The Epoch Electrotennis was the first computer game designed and built solely in Japan. It dominates it's puny brethren through sheer size and audacity of design; measuring almost two feet across and sporting resplendent bright orange livery: it wouldn't look out of place on the set of Barbarella. Also noted for making the first use of wireless technology in a console; this example comes complete in it's original rather non-descript packaging with inserts, antenna and instruction manual. Pong machines don't come any better than this.

Sega SG-1000 - MIB - Display Only

 photo SegaSG-1000FirstEditionI-1.jpg
This is a rare first edition SG-1000, made by Sega and released in Japan in 1983. It comes complete with all packaging, accessories and documentation; including the original serial number sheet and proof of purchase. The entire package is in excellent condition for its age and has been tested and is fully working. This first edition features strikingly different packaging to the later release and is prohibitively difficult to find. I have also included a separate boxed SJ-200 controller. Sega's very first home console and a piece of computer game history. A museum piece.
