Korean Goldstar Alive - Model 1

bitrate · Post by **bitrate** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:43 am

Here are some pictures of the "Model 1" Korean Goldstar Alive 3DO console.

There isn't a lot different on this model when compared with your typical North American / European Goldstar unit.

The most obvious attribute this console has that sets it apart upon first inspection is the "ALIVE" designation stamped across the top of the unit.

As can be seen in the pictures below, Korean characters are both silk-screened and were also a part of the molding process as evidenced at the ports on the back of the unit.
There are also respective Korean labels on both the back of the control pad and console. And, of course, input voltage/frequency and the cable plug are of the Korean variety.

pretty sweet find

Years ago I had an Alive II model, but traded it for some M2 hardware. I've been on the lookout ever since.

I have lots of good quality pics of the Alive II model. I'll post some a little later if you are interested.

Not sure if I like "Alive" stamped on the console, but I guess it isn't all that different from having "REAL" stamped on it. I'd also enjoy more pics (as always)
