TDK Super Avilyn HS T-120. The design uses many different elements from the time. RGB squares, repeating stripes, the grid pattern. The middle sash also has a familiar feeling. Thanks to @ithoughtisawa2@infosec.exchange for letting me know TDK might not have been the best quality 😂

This is a fun anomaly. I'm pretty sure it came from Blockbuster selling their old pre-viewed stock. Fun movie too.

TDK bringing the Extra High Grade. I don't remember this brand as much as some others, but a few designs stand out. This one has the elegance of a gold watch and feels more 80s to me.

El "Santo Grial" perdido de Star Trek que nunca jugamos 🖖

¿Alguna vez te pasó que veías la caja de un videojuego anunciando "Próximamente", lo buscabas por años en las tiendas y nunca aparecía? Eso es exactamente lo que pasó con 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐤: 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐮𝐥𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐫𝐲.

Si has intentado descargarlo o comprarlo en sitios como eBay, deja de buscar: el juego nunca salió a la venta. 🚫
