WTF? New Century Game Station?

Post by Ramon »

I was going around the department store of the mall near us and found this small game console. It was called New Century Game Station. I looked at it in amazement and thought, "I must show this to my friends(?) for it looks weird!". So... I bought it. It was a very good buy, too... At Php* 499.50 (or $10 :D ). So I took some pictures of it and you might want to look at them. (Sorry... Had to use my webcam. It looks like a PSOne but it isn't. I can't seem to find my camera.) I tested it out first. It played 8-bit games like Mario and this Tennis thingy. Anyway, here!

The NCGS Box, unopened. (Okay, so maybe I did test it out):

All of the items in the box, spread out:

Controller:

The top, front, back and opened pics (Nothing with the bottom):

But then what's this?

(GASP! It uses cartridges!)

Close up:

The cartridge it uses:

So I was wondering if anyone had anyone had any idea about this. And I was wondering if this can be a very good (or maybe, just good) portable to start with...

Anyone?

I've seen one EXACTLY like this before.

That looks like a PS1 but plays pirate NES games.
My guess, stick a PAL NES game in it, it'll play I betcha.


IDENTICAL TO A PALDIO!!!

Woah... Cool! Paldio! Anyway... Where the hell am I going to get a PAL NES game here? Isn't the Philippines NTSC? And nobody sells NES here anymore... :(

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't take PAL NES carts, but NTSC Famicom carts... it looks like it uses the Japanese famicom connector with 60 pins as opposed to the 72 on the NES.

The games aren’t that great but it was cheap. :lol:
