Complete factory game gear that has been recapped and is in proper working order. It’s over 30 years old it’s seen some things, it’s got bumps bruises nicks and scratches it’s far from perfect, But it functions as it should plays games as it should see my other items I have other game gears. I have several of these available, the one you receive upon purchase will unlikely be the one listed in the photos
