Hey folks! It’s been forever since my last post (almost as long as its been since my last confession).

I’ve been super busy with work and haven’t had a load of time to work on games lately. I have been buying parts here and there, got my traffic light working, dealt with a horrible seller on eBay, etc…

But now, behold…the glory…that is….DEFENDER!:

I picked this puppy up yesterday with my nephew Mackenzie. It was listed on Craigslist as non working but complete. It stopped working and they didn’t feel like fixing it. I offered the guy a $100 for it.

It isn’t exactly mint, but at least its not painted black.

I haven’t had much time to mess with this at all yet. I opened the back, gave it a once over (and a “who’s your father?”) and plugged it in. When you turn it on, it makes a normal defender sounding noise and then nothing else. No video, and no audio when you try to coin it up. I plan on messing with it tomorrow morning as we have a book sale to go to tonight. With any luck, we may be Defender-ing tomorrow afternoon!
