    Think i'll get one for my collection. Would look nice next to my Sonic Saturn and the Hi Navi Saturn is just plain ugly.

    I've a connection in Korea - let's see if i can get another one.
    Hard to get one boxed + near mint. No offense but koreans seem to be terrible collrctors.

    If anyone with Korean contacts is able to source a Gam*Boy/Alladin Boy/Alladin Boy II [the SMS clones] or a Super Alladin Boy [the MD clone], I'd be very interested.

    It amazes me that so few items and such little information comes out of Korea. You would more would hit the west if only for the fact that so many US troops are stationed there. Then again they probably do any shopping like that when they pass through Japan.

    There is large shopping area dedicated for US service personnel in Seoul...
    but they are geared for usual stuff these people want and video game is probabaly at the bottom of the priority... you need to go to Yong-san electronics complex - used to be Chunggaechun but they nore demolished to recoever the Chunggae river - for anything to do with electronics inc. pirate stuff... :p

    Samsung Saturn wasn't pirate, it was licensed. I'd imagine all other Samsung consoles were, too.

    Hey Everyone

    I think Korea has a ban on Japanese "cultural" items which include video games, CDs, etc. That's been relaxed recently but I don't think they're selling consoles just yet. That's probably why you see some Samsung models. That would be the only way to get the consoles into the Korean market.

    Laters,
    Eric
