    Haha, I was following this one on eBay, I'm sure it's this one. Even put in an early bid. But was too broke to bid a proper amount for it in the end... I would have outbid you if I could afford it. :)
    [EDIT]
    I mostly bid on it for the games - I have the Mega Duck Laptop, but only have one game, "Armour Force". If you want to sell your duplicate games let me know, I'd be interested!

    Pro tip when buying in a auction, Bid on the last few minutes, people tend to inflate prices even days before the auction even come close to and end

    Glad the replacement switch worked out to repair your Nintendo Mega Cougar Duck Boy!

    I would also consider polishing the screen to remove those scratches. A fine polish for cell phone displays works the best.

    annoyingly game gears have the same issue with the speaker being burnt into place, both nintendo and sega used to do with their home consoles for a few components as cost cutting measures, sega did it for their power on LED's and power switches which is a pain in the arse when they break.

      I had no idea!

      It might depend on the batch. I've seen Game Gears with a small brown plastic bracket holding the speaker in. Only had two small phillips head screws.

    On the dutch version of craigslist "marktplaats" there are quite a few mega ducks for sale and not that expensive either, I even saw some boxed games for sale

    I have that exact same switch tou used to test it. No idea where I actually got it from but it's great for testing for broken switches

    Calling it a gameboy clone is a little misleading. Calling it a clone implies that it plays gameboy games. You know like how a NES clone console plays NES games.

    So you're one of the people who drive ebay prices up by bidding a high number days before the auction ends, then has to bid at the end anyway, whats the point??
    best to have a reminder set and put your first bid in the last 10 seconds.
    Always enjoy your videos though

    • @PuffyRainbowCloud
      @PuffyRainbowCloud 6 лет назад +6

      It's so much easier to just use the maximum bid funcion, because that literally is what you would've added in the last ten seconds anyway. So no matter what, the auction would've ended up at the same price

    I understand you pain wig trying to find obscure rare tech that's not documented or cared about. I'm trying to collect every version of Apple earbuds. there are many types of Apple earbuds with little changes between each model.

    I still own one, but unsure if it still works. At one time I got a universal charger which seems to have blasted most if not all games I own :-(. This was my first handheld because a GameBoy was too expensive :-). Had a lot of fun with it though.

    • @TheRetroFuture
      @TheRetroFuture  6 лет назад

      Awesome! Hope it works, make sure to give the cartridges slot a blow!

      The Retro Future back in the day I actually made a special case for the console and games, so I don't think it'll be too dirty, but after all these years who knows! Will be moving soon so if I'll get it through my hands I'll be sure to try it again.

    See I feel stupid now, actually thought you were talking about a real duck. In my defence it was never released in Canada as far as I know. What's the other called a mega cougar? That sounds scary....

  • @LotoTheHero
    @LotoTheHero 6 лет назад +12

    This is not a clone system. A clone system would play Game Boy games. This is a cheap knock off or ripoff.

    That isn't a game boy "clone". "Clone" systems play the game's from the system they are "cloning". Mega Duck is more like a Game Boy "knockoff".
