I always wanted those obscure video game systems like the FM Town's Marty, the JVC X-Eye Genesis clone, Neo-Geo CD, etc. We have a few LaserDisc players, but I always remember wanting a LaserActive for the novelty.

Awesome. I still have my laserdisc player, but only a couple of LDs left, maybe I'll give them to you. :) Some good stuff, including THX-1138(!)

It's too bad, because he had a lot of games that I thought you'd enjoy, as well as some of the harder-to-find role-playing games. If I find any elsewhere, I'll let you know. :) Fate willing, I should be in the Bay Area sometime in the next few months, and then we'll have to go to Ebisu! ^__^</font> Yaaay for fantastic sushi and vintage Sega CD games! ^_^
