Sharp Twin Famicom
Join me as I finally see what’s on this bootleg Famicom disk I’ve owned for years.
(Also sorry for my bare flabby gut that you can kinda see in the TV’s reflection)
I just bought a fully refurbished, red colored Sharp Twin Famicom because I am a dumb baby.

... welp, it appears another auction for a Sharp Twin Famicom just popped up on Ebay. Several actually, from a US seller in Illinois. Whom has tested the units and installed new belts on the disk drive. And I just planted a maximum bid of $120 on one of them, although the current bid shows up as much less than that of course. And the auction ends Sunday.
I get the feeling I’ll be outbid for sure. But hey, fingers crossed right?
... ohhh dear... the urge to get that Famicom is rising again. And I’m debating again on if I want a Sharp Twin FC or just an AV-modded FC now with an FDS down the line.
I mean, the Twin Famicom would be pretty friggin’ sweet since it’s an FC and an FDS in one unit and looks pretty rad. Plus like I mentioned before it technically would be cheaper in the long run to get as opposed to getting an original FC and an FDS seperately. I could get a Sharp Twin FC for about $180 including shipping, whereas I might have to pay about $110 each for an FC and an FDS. So they would end up being over $200 or so.
But... then again, while I would love to have FDS capabilities that isn’t something I genuinely would need at the very moment. I mean, I’ve got some Famicom game carts already. And while there seem to be a decent amount of FDS games I’d love to have based on a quick skim-through of a list of FDS games, I can easily do without them for now. There’s enough cart-based stuff to tide me over for sure.
... I dunno, I’m blabbering in a silly manner again. I just should sit and give it some more thought. Yeah.
*is on Ebay, sees an auction for a refurbished Sharp Twin Famicom from a US Seller with the highest bid only at $45*
Oooo, screw it! I'mma bid on it! And I'll make my max bid be $80 to help me potentially win.
*already is outbid*
Ahhh, well... fine, let's bump the bid up to $100 and see what happens.
*still is outbid, indicating that the max bid is probably uber-high right now*
...

... well fuck that then.
