Greetings and salutations, welcome to David's Video Game Insanity!!  Ah, yes, video games.  All types, all kinds, all genres.  This site has went through some changes over the years and now hosts a variety of gaming subjects as well as reviews and information.  What was once simply a list of video game items I own has grown into an entire gaming destination.  Additionally now David's Video Game Insanity hosts a full review staff as well as gaming editorials.  Modification and repair tutorials are also featured here.  The navigation frame on the left is divided to reflect where the open content is and where my list remains.

The master directory of all the video game stuff I currently own is still here.  All products and items listed are in either excellent or good condition and all work properly unless noted otherwise.  If you were a visitor in the past I hope you enjoy our increasing content.  My collection is a compilation of over twenty years of purchasing, trading, hunting, repairing, refurbishing, and bargaining of games and game systems.  I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about video games or my collection.  Just click on the "Contact" button on the left for details on how to reach me or check out the Insane Team if you have a question for someone other than myself.  David's Video Game Insanity is the largest part of your source for video game and pop culture insanity, ClassicPlastic.net!

Spotlight Features at David's Video Game Insanity!!...

Pole Position Arcade Restoration And Conversion.  After all these years I've finally done it, I finally own a full size arcade machine. Not just any machine at that, one of my all time favorites and one of the most popular arcade games ever - Pole Position.  Sadly these machines are a handful to maintain due to the cutting edge technology they employed at the time.  Faced with a dead machine for a price I simply couldn't pass up I decided to convert this legendary machine into a classic driving MAME cabinet.  One catch, I wanted it to look and feel like a stock Pole Position, after all, that's the machine I bought and the game I wanted to play.  In this special feature I review how I took a dirty, smelly, non-working piece of junk and turned it into a perfectly operational blast from the past.  This addition also kicks off David's Video Game Insanity's new Home Arcade Projects section where I hope to continue to expand my personal home arcade.  This new feature also allows prospective arcade game owners to see how I've gone about the restoration as well as the tricks I used to convert my Pole Position cabinet to a classic driving game showcase without breaking the bank.  What are you waiting for?  Head on over to the new Home Arcade Projects section and "Prepare to Qualify!"

US/JPN Cartridge Region Removal For JVC X'Eye.  It has been a long time coming but yet again David's Video Game Insanity is proud to present you with another exclusive feature.  The JVC X'Eye is hands down one of the most sought after 16 bit gaming items to ever be released in the United States.  It plays both Sega Genesis cartridges as well as Sega CD's all in one unit and the CD drive is much faster than either model of the Sega CD.  Another nice feature of the JVC X'Eye is the wide and import friendly cartridge slot which allows the insertion of Japanese Mega Drive cartridges without any modification.  This is simply a design carryover from the JVC Wondermega 2 which the JVC X'Eye was based off of.  However a firmware region lockout is in place, preventing the play of many Japanese Mega Drive games released in and after 1992.  For a long time the knowledge was out there but not properly presented.  After a lot of research and the help of a few sources, I've worked out the details on the mod.  As usual I've done one better than just a text file and you can now find a full visual walkthrough of the entire mod tutorial right here!  No need to buy an expensive and overpriced converter cartridge, you already own a JVC X'Eye, you deserve to be able to play import cartridges without add-ons.  If you perform this mod I would enjoy hearing some feedback on how it worked out.
