Out of the thousands of games and consoles, there is only one elusive console which is the RDI Halcyon. I own all of the game disks as well as the laserdisk player, but cannot locate a controller. I met with and spoke with Rick Dyer 10 years ago at E3, but lost touch shortly thereafter as I left to supervise the lord of the rings films in NZ. I am now finally opening the most extensive collection and museum at FIDM University in LA in Q2 of 2013, and have been fully committed to including the RDI Halcyon. As mentioned, I have the laserdisk player and all released games, but no controller. If anyone knows where I might locate a controller or where to contact Rick Dyer, I would be indebted. Most will be amazed by my collection as i have travelled the world to collect every console including into the Soviet Union where I found systems produced in the USSR - which I believe I have the only one remaining - and this is not the nintendo version for Russian production - it is a unique console with two controllers and a gun produced in 1981. There is not even a picture anywhere on the web or mention of this console - but I have one. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. I have far more unique items, and more than 60% in the box with all manuals and materials. So please help as we are spending loads of time and working within a budget to truly preserve the physical history of video games which has never been done and needs to be done now. But as i have everything else, I only require the RDI Halcyon controller and I will be able to display every console ever produced as well as every version of every console in every language and flavor. So please be a part of histroy, and help me to preserve the history of gaming - properly and catalogued for the world - finally. I hope I can get a response from this. Otherwise, we will have everything but the RDI Halcyon - at least not a complete system. Cheers, David Bawel davidbawel@gmail.com Hello,
