It was pretty damn expensive.
The SNES was as well. Along with every other game console. :P

I would have been a sad little child anyways even if my parents liked the idea of me playing videogames back then. :(

HAHAHA look at that thing in the last pic! First time i saw one of those.
What is it?

Oh gawd. I remember being in china and I was in someones house. They had an interesting game system with a monitor a keyboard very similar to the ones from 1995 except that you plugged games into the top of the keyboard.There were all sorts of games. like a donkey kong styled Shrek game and various fighting games.

Mine had this joystick, it also worked on the commodore amiga! seriously I had it for over 10 years and it never let me down.

Its an Atari 400 sorta a computer but played cartridges as well the games were more arcade quality than the 2600 by a long shot. almost NES quality especially with Pac-Man, Centipede, and Space Invaders.

Ah, that goes to the Atari 7800!

well back on topic secret of mana and secret of evermore but preferably secret of mana

sylar1000As you can see from the above, the only games that fail are bad dumps and games that use special chips other than DSP-1. Calculating these results versus the entire library of ROMs gives us a whopping 99% ROM compatibility of the complete set.

Damn this thing's pretty lame, yes it has 99% compatibility but look at some of the games left off:Kirby Super Star
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Dungeon Master
SD Gundam GX
Top Gear 3000
Metal Combat
Dragon Ball Z - Hyper Dimension
Power Rangers Zeo - Battle Racers
Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W - FAIL
Super Mario RPG - FAIL
Super Robot Wars Gaiden - FAIL
Star Ocean
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (USA/Europe) / Street Fighter Zero 2 (Japan) - FAILI like these games & they're part of my SNES ROMs library, & this device doesn't support them? For $120USD this thing's a piece of crap :pAnd I'm guessing it also doesn't support the SuFami Turbo cartridges then eh?

You can play snes games on your phone now, $120 is too much.
