Hello all.
Life in general has been a bit taxing on me as of late, but I did want to share a couple of unique additions to my collection.
The first is the Floppy Disk add-on for the
Bandai Pippin. This was not widely utilized at all and released only in Japan. To be honest, this does not really add anything to the gaming experience of the Pippin at all. It is interesting though. The pics:

This is how the FDD looks when attached to the
Pippin main console (stock pic since I haven't had a chance to take a pic of mine).

The second item of note is even more obscure - the
Tomy Pyuuta Jr. This console is based on the
Tomy Pyuuta hybrid-computer system which was released in Japan (in North America as the
Tomy Tutor, in Europe as the
Grandstand Tutor). The
Pyuuta Jr. is the stand-alone, pure gaming console and has a limited library. Some pics of this rare bird:

Once I mess around with both of them a bit I'll fill you in on what they are like. Just thought you might find these interesting so I thought I would share them.
Happy gaming.
