[megamanfan3]

Was this the first systems to use music visualization? Nowadays, music visualizers are quite common.

[RunandGunPictures]

So they went from being awesome to being a tool and now French... So sad...

[Sillyzombie666]

[techromancer1]

[lemonlimestiv]

shrooms anyone?

[acvieluf]

Heres a question for you: I recently aquired one of these that is in near perfect condition, save for the AC adapter being chopped off. Since i have to make my own, i was looking for the power output specs of the original. I "think" i can see in your video that it outputs 16.6 volts of AC power, at 100mA. Is this correct, or did i read it wrong? Any help would be appreciated, since i am REALLY looking forward to using this as a backdrop during our youth services at church. Thanks!

[Gamester81]

So I looked on the power supply and here is what it reads "120 VAC 60HZ 6W" and it also says "16.6 VAC" at the bottom. I hope this helps.

[111CountDooku111]

whoa thats retro to the max haha awesome!

[Atarix777]

Aweeesome, just awesome!!! :-D

[funnyxthings]

where do you get all systems ebay ,yard sales

[Gamester81]

Depends, often times I shop at a number of places including craigslist, ebay, yardsales, and I've even had luck at the Goodwill.

[NESMASTER14]

awesome! I've always wanted one of these

[MN12BIRD]

Wow that's really cool can't wait to see it in action!

[amarsh85]

dammit, i love all your systems.....BUT YOU NEVER SHOW ANY GAMEPLAY, DAMMIT!

[Pikminking56]

He does.

[Gamester81]

Don't fret, my next video is showing this thing in action. My stereo is packed away, so I had to hook it up to a TV to show it.

[amarsh85]

haha sorry about that dude. i wasnt meaning to be a dick. just me overreacting haha.

[Gamester81]

No worries man I knew what you meant. =)

[SamuraiClinton]

Did any other company make a similar device?

Except that Windows Media Player and similar software for computers day generate similar graphics to music on the hard drive!

[Gamester81]

Good question. To my knowledge there are systems that play some visuals when you play a CD in them like the Atari Jaguar CD, but there are no devices that sole purpose is to do what this does.

[SamuraiClinton]

I becha one of these days, they might make component MP3 players for stereo systems that might produce graphics like that. And I hope they make future MP3 players like that to have interchangeable SATA hard drives.

Or better yet, why not have home theater systems with built-in support for graphics like that? And maybe future models of home theater systems might have SATA hard drives built-in.

[vintagevideogamegeek]

Dude, those dudes were definitely smoking the wacky tabacky. DUUUUDE!

[julsyDCst]

Thats a crazy piece of kit, do you know if it was a US only release?

[Gamester81]

Yeah you're fight Devo did have this in their video "The My Baby Gave Me A Surprise". Daft Punk also has it in their video "Robot Rock". I'll post a video soon of this thing in action. Sorry I know you wanted to see that.

[strictlysega]

thats the one.. saw devo live last year too.. didnt know about daft punk.. will deffintly check it out.. yes i am hanging to see it in action.. when u do it.. can u use a mix of songs insted of just one.. differnt styles of music etc..

ps.. if theres only 1 wire out then how does the music go out urr speakers?.. i thought it had a follow through..

[MaximumRD]

Very cool!

[tvandlust]

So it's basically an early music visualizer? What an awesome piece!

[n8great321]

drugs are bad mmmkay

[bigbaddaddy11]

that is kick ass....where did u get it? and how much did it run you?

[Gamester81]

I bought it off ebay and I got a really good deal on it. I believe I paid with shipping around $150. Usually these things go for $300+.

[lestat34208]

150? surely it must be worth more than that I guess the seller didnt know what he had?

[TheDevilBurning]

wow... i want one :D

[elbryan42]

Interesting. :) Although I'd be very afraid to plug it in. It looks ancient and dangerous.

[vintagevideogamegeek]

lol

[sinistermoon]

Man I seen this at a flea market when I was a teenager. I for sure really wanted it but didn't have the money. I can't wait to see it in action! Awesome video.

[Gamester81]

Dude it's times like these I wish I had a time machine and could go back in time and do things all over again.

[lestat34208]

[vintagevideogamegeek]

[LaidbackRetroGamer]
