During Covid, I had to sell a childhood treasure: my JVC X’EYE, still complete with original controller and power supply, fully functional.
But the shop owner did right by me, cleaned up my old discs, and we went through them one by one before I left, as he’d never seen one in person, either.
My favorite part is that it was the cheap, knock-off alternative when I was a kid, but now it’s crazy valuable because it was so rare.
I used to watch these game console startup compilations https://youtu.be/Wntf-pM5k2E , and the X’Eye and Wondermega felt like fever dreams like lol imagine booting up a game console on Christmas morning and there’s a dancing X or W with music that feels exactly like staying up past 6AM. I could not believe those existed.
It’s such a crazy throwback. Mine came bundled with Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia and Prize Fighter for Sega CD , I believe. Or maybe I got Prize Fighter separately. Also how I discovered the Spin Doctors song “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong,” because it also had a karaoke feature. And, yes, Christmas morning exactly.
