Does the drive door open?  Mine will not open, I just get a "no disc" error and the button does nothing.  I was going to put it in the trash last week and decided not to...

Opens just sits at "loading"
replacement drives are easy to find and fairly cheap

System is on hold.

[exodus]

well, if it doesn't sell, let me know!

[SignOfZeta]

Merlin Kart Racing? That's...something. 

I assume Tempest 3000 is eye popping mind melding jaw dropping awesomness or something because otherwise this looks more like $2.50.

It's not the best of the Minter Tempest games, but it's still pretty awesome, and the VLM for the Nuon is just as good as the Jaguars variant, if you are into old school light machines that is

[TheClash603]

Merlin isn't a bad game either, I'd say nuon beats cdi at least.

I concur,  it's def PS1 tier Kart racing, I kinda have a soft sport for Atari Karts, as rip-offish as it is. Merlin is certainly not bad for it's time.

[exodus]

Tempest 3000 is 100% a minter game! when I saw the Nuon at one E3, he was there and I interviewed him about it. Not only that, he's right there in the credits. http://www.mobygames.com/game/nuon/tempest-3000/credits

I don't think anyone was debating this fact...

[Dicer]

System is sold, feel free to keep rambling on about the NUON though, it deserves some conversation...

[exodus]

whoops! I totally misread somehow, and thought you said "it's not as good as the minter tempest games." blorf

[SuperGrafx]

I was big into the NUON scene back in the early 2000's.
Twas my first DVD player.

Tempest 3000 was a big letdown compared to the TK2000 on Atari Jaguar...such blurry visuals and inconsistent frame rate.

Merlin Racing though, was a wonderful and fun surprise.  Loved the quest mode.

[in99flames]

If anyone has an extra controller or remote....please let me know :-D

Oh yes it is!

Most Samsung remotes will work with it.. I used a remote from a 2009 Samsung plasma tv with mine to play T3K (poorly). 

I bought the Nuon when it first came out - I think there may have been limited distribution in Canada, but I bought mine on a trip to Vegas (CGE2K), and bought most of the games in nearby Michigan.  I also had the Iron Soldier 3 that Nuon-dome sent out and a couple of controllers.  Got rid of that stuff a long time ago.   Aside from T3K, I didn't find any of the games too engaging, and even T2K is better.  The capabilities of the machine were also a let down - here was Samsung releasing a machine with PS-N64 specs when Sega had already released the Dreamcast and PS2 was just around the corner...  I think any enthusiasm I had for the Nuon started and ended with Jeff Minter.

About a year ago I found an N-501 in a thrift, took it home and downloaded T3K to test it out.  Worked fine.  It sat unused...  Fast forward to about 2 months ago - it doesn't work anymore...  I was going to trash it, but I think I might try to replace the whole DVD drive unit.

[in99flames]

I do have t2k for jag cd....ive heard that people do seem to like t2k over t3k. Kind of funny. Ill try some remotes. Ill need a logitech controller at some point. :-P

[Dicer]

I blew up my jag on day on accident, a sad day indeed...so to get my Tempest fix there is typhoon 2001 on PC which is a bag up port and I bought a PSTV just for TxK(NOT TEMPEST LOL)

One day I'll re-jag myself cause T2k is top of the pops.

For Jag CD, a rare one of a kind version? Or the soundtrack?

[in99flames]

Whoops should have stated soundtrack :-P it has the audio graphics special thingy...virtual light machine i think they called it. I havent popped it in in a really long time. You are correct sir

Trust me on this, the remote is NOT a valid option for playing games on the Nuon.

Funny thing is...back in 2002 after the NUON had failed as a format, there was a website called www.dvdinteractive.com that had a fire sale on controllers and games.  Literally $5.00 a piece for the controllers (the 2 non-Logitech versions as well as the Logitech).  Games were, I believe, in the $10 to $15 range. 

I scooped up a bunch of spares, but have since ebayed them years ago. 

Those were the days...the early 2000's held such promise.  What a great era to be alive.

The Logitech controllers were dirt cheap up until a couple years ago.

A guy at the flea market by me had a stack of 20 for $5 each that never shrank.  The flea market closed 2-3 years ago, he missed out on the goldmine.

Are they that expensive now?

I think even the worst Nuon controllers cost at least $50 now and the better ones are all over $100.

...worth it for Merlin Racing.  Or on a more serious note, Shin Chan, if anyone ever found it.

I don't think Shin Chan is playable on anything besides the Korean version of the Nuon 501
I believe it was region locked.

You are correct.

I still want it.
