My friend got busted for selling Doctor V64s 1998.

Fear the "dangerous systems"! ;).

Here's a funny news clipping I found, or well it's funny in retrospect but when it happened it maybe wasn't so funny. My friend basically got busted for selling Doctor V64 backup units back in the day, and if you're in the UK then theres a pretty good chance he sold you one;).

If you compare this with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Player_Super_Joy_III#Legal_issues case then he was lucky and now we can look back and laugh at it.

One funny thing with the V64 was that Acclaim used them as dev units to code games like Turok, so technically they were using an illegal device to create games with! ;).
