Been quite upset after realiing my nuon games had been lost in Harvey. Could not believe how much the price of some these things has gone up. I thinkI paid like 7 bucks each for some of these a few years ago. Picked up Space invaders xl, Merlin racing, Frefall 3050 and ballistic off ebay. Been watching the ebay auction, did not really wanna pay that much, but just not a lot ofthe games out there anymore. I paid like 235 for them. I need Tempest 3000 back now. Was bidding on Next Tetris the other day, I kinda gave up thinking ot was gonna go for more than it did. I went to work and realized it only went for like 125, was a little irritated I did not bid thAT. Really thought it was gonna go over 200. I was not gonna buy the 4 games but wife was gonna buy me the NIB dvdn 501 that is on ebay right now and I told her I would rather have the games.

I am pretty sure besides the Konix the NUON is the rarest system out there. Expect to pay a premium for anything and the odds of finding in the wild are slim to none.

understood. I have never found anything in the wild at all except for a sd2300 dvd player I found right before the flood. The games had been getting more expensive but seem to have made a jump in the last year or so. Tempest did not used to be that hard to find and I would not have epected to have to pay a lot for it. Not gonna pay for a sealed game, will be patient and wait and enjoy my jaguar version until then :)

I think I have a Tempest 3k in the collection my NUON is toast make me an offer. I actually never did really like the NUON version of Tempest I thought it was too washed out on the graphics and all the lightshow blurred out the enemies.

This is why I like to help people find these games. I like to see people enjoying the Nuon.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
