If anyone's curious about fun games, btw, here are a couple of my favorites: Monster Panic and Adventure Zone. Epoch makes a lot of good stuff and it generally isn't nearly as expensive as G&W; Monster Panic is even somewhat reasonably priced at around $40! It's a lot of fun too!

Bankers box contents. There are, effectively, two more boxes, though a large chunk of one of them is taken up by a Yutaka VCOM in its original packaging. Close(r)ups follow in thread.

So I put a rug down in my office the other day. I feel like it's weirdly actually helping keep it a few degrees cooler? Like with my media-pc-slash-space-heater it's regularly ~78 degrees fahrenheit in here, but right now it's sitting at ~75? Is that a thing rugs do?

Okay so before bed last night I opened this up to verify the below, and unfortunately it does look like the damage is with the lcd screen itself, not the backdrops :( That's a much tougher fix. I've got others though, will update later!
So in addition to that little Bomberman game from the other day, another thing I came across was this Snoopy Tennis Game & Watch in... rather unfortunate condition. The good news is that these *can* be fixed, but you need to source replacement backdrops. I happen to have one, so I'll be fixing it!

I definitely want to go through all of my LCD games but uh, I legitimately do not know how to store/display them other than tetrising them into fabric cubes and bankers boxes. There has to be *some* way to sort them for easy cataloging and retrieval?

I've been thinking about this and as much as I appreciate the compliment from @desragnell.bsky.social (and I really do!) I want to point out that I have skill, *not* talent. None of what I do came easily, and the only reason I'm so good is because I practiced and stuck with it.
You are extremely talented

Spent the evening cleaning up and fixing this guy! Flowed some new solder into the old joints, wiped down the button contacts, and scrubbed away a whole bunch of battery corrosion. Also pulled a piece of scotch tape off the pcb?
