What started as a trip to Japan to pick up one of the rarest pieces of retro gaming hardware quickly turned into something I never expected. Join me as I track down an incredibly rare NEC CRT with a built-in PC-Engine console (PC-KD863G), bring it home, and uncover the challenges that came with preserving this unique piece of gaming history. If you enjoy retro gaming, rare video game hardware, CRT monitors, console restorations, and gaming preservation, this is the video for you
