Russian NES clone--pics before I return her

Post by Reaperman@home »

I was at, believe it or not, Big Lots yesturday when I happened across a russian NES clone--in a chain store!

It's manufactured in china, with russian instructions and box art, but a surprising amount of english is present. This is a PAL unit (sold in the US!) which comes with an adaptor that requires 220V europower (converts to 9v DC). While it has (pal) A/V and RF plugs on the back it also comes with a small television transmitter...and hmmm... no FCC label.

also of note it comes with a 7-in-1 chinese famicart featuring art from SF2 (though that's not one of the games). The gun is actually on a 15 pin cable and plugs into something called the expansion port. (actually, the gun feels *really* good) Joysticks are hardwired and sit in the sides like a Famicom. The wires come out of the sides of the controllers, making them harder to hold. From what I can see through the vents, the system main board is actually large, and appears to be hand-soldered.

she's getting returned today--I have no use for a PAL system. But here's some pics that we can all remember her by:

I also got a $4, 2nd gen Sega Saturn yesturday (oval buttons) but she's not nearly as photogenic.

Yeah even if you don't want it you can probably sell it to a collector for more than you bought it for.

table right inside the front door. It was in my hand within 3 seconds of entering the store. But I'd imagine it would probably go somewhere in their 'electronics' section where they hide their 'video now' units.

You do know that Big Lots is a clearance store, right? Which means different store locations have different stuff. By 'what area did you find yours?', he most likely meant 'what city, state did you find yours?'

Anyway, once my local (or soon semi-local, as I'll be moving) opens, I'll check it out and see if they have any.
