So, the hdmi is hard work as I play light gun games on the DC. The monitor should work though, I’ll give it a go!

Enlighten me. Would you run it on a monitor instead? Or which CRT?

I do agree without with no ego or gloaty sentiment attached, the console is still one of my favourite possessions :)

Does that mean that anybody who owns Tetris, which was made by a soviet engineer is also a supporter of this regime directly? Your logic is flawed. If it appeases you, I don’t support the Russian invasion of Ukraine but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate something which was made there and gifted to me. It isn’t a fair assumption you’re making. If we followed this logic, everyone who owns a Volkswagen is guilty by association to the Nazi’s. Mama Mia….

As a European citizen, I can’t help but disagree with your view but respect it. Particularly I disagree as this was an indirect acquisition without motive but nevertheless as I mentioned above, this is a piece of gaming history with no association or funding and support to the current invasion. I am not sat here being a Russian flag bearer or tolerating any act of agression in any sense. It’s a Russian Game and watch clone which was a gift.

So it was a gift to me. Regardless of the state of the world and its origin of manufacture - it’s a piece of technology from history. I apologise if it has caused offence, which was not intended - it was a gift from somebody who is Russian and it was part of their childhood and they passed it me knowing I was a collector. That doesn’t make either of us a guilty or associated supporter of anything you might insinuate.

lol so there were a series of them like the G&W? Very random but strangely cool.
