Couple of Korean Super Comboy games I picked up in Seoul.

Wow they are great, im very envious of them.

Those Comboy games are a great find. It's funny that Koreans take as much care of their stuff as the avarage westerner. In otherwords, they don't take care of there stuff at all. I remember seeing many cars with whopping dents in them when I was there. That may have something to do with Asians in general being **** drivers though. That's not a racist comment either before anyone gets on their high horse

Finding decent condition retro Korean stuff can be a bit of a mission because there's practically no retro market, most of what there is is Japanese and they seem to treat their stuff like crap. Even in the very few places that do have retro stuff, you'll usually get odd looks if asking for Samsung or Hyundai retro items.

I found driving standards in Korea to be about the same as China i.e. mental, although most pedestrians seem to have the sense not to attempt to cross busy roads.

My dad is now obsessed with getting one of those space helmet TVs from the 70s - does anyone know if they're good for retro gaming?

IIRC there was the JVC Videosphere but that was B&W AFAIK, and the was the Philips Discoverer from the early 90's. The latter being a colour set, but no SCART socket unfortunately.

I'm very fond of this tiny TV I got for free from the Oxfam where I used to work. It was too cute to let them throw it away.

That is brilliant Noobish. How good is the image quality?

Wicked, really want one myself! Can I ask how much it set you back?

I saw one of the 90's era type for sale in a 2nd hand shop a few weeks back. Had ?190 on the tag!

Image quality is very nice on my little Panasonic, but then I'm no expert on things like that.

[speedlolita]

Of course the image quality is nice, it's a CRT.
