The Ultimate Nintendo Console
Ngamer writes "Logan West, a member of a fanatical group of gamers known as "The Elite," recently created a Nintendo fan's ultimate dream: his Nintendo Entertainment Console is a composite of the NES, SNES, N64, GC, and Gameboy, all combined into a single system! With no shortage of electrical/carpentry ability, Logan carefully dissected his consoles, wired them to a central unit, then crafted a wooden vessel to host all five systems as one. Logan has already gotten a response from Nintendo after submitting his creation to them--they were quite impressed!"
I do.... I have working copys of all those consoles (minus the gameboy player).
The 8-bit NES was a HUGE hit in my dorm this past year, particularly Mike Tyson's Punch Out and Mario 3.
There is more than enough playablility left in those old systems. Most likely because the games were more focused on gameplay value rather than flashy graphics. There are many old-school games that I've never been able to beat, even after 100s of hours of frustration. Most newer games seem much easier to beat, almost as if they're designed to LET you through to the end (so as to watch a flashy movie perhaps?).
Now back to the Megaman aniversary collection......
No, but it can run Linux
UUUGGLYYY... and WHO would want one of these? I mean who actually plays video games that much?
