MODIFIED N64 WITH SCART
OUTPUTS "SCART
Outputs"? That means the picture will be
much sharper...that is, if you can find a port on
your TV for it
It also comes with a Flash cart
containing every N64 game. That's good! But it's
the Japanese model, and the adapter to play it on
a set outside of Japan is not included. That's
bad

| PROTOTYPE FOR SPACE INVADERS
ON THE SNES Let me put it
this way: this version of Space Invaders was one
of the last games to be released for the SNES,
and it was during a time when the budget for a
SNES game was pitifully small. Space Invaders is
literally it; there are no graphical or sound
enhancements. They really mean "the original
game"
Imagine spending forty bucks on
that. Then imagine spending three hundred

combination Nintendo machine-slash-video editor,
manufactured by Sharp
The machine came with a stylus
and a keyboard. It was for adding subtitles to
videos, but could also add the same text to
Famicom game footage. Useful for reviewers
It is also the only Famicom (or

the sharpest hookup possible

ATARI JAGUAR MULTICART KIT A recent development in the collector's
market has been the Flash Cart. This is a shell
you insert an SD card (or in this case, burned
ROM chips) into, which has been filled with every

play everything a classic console had to offer,
on the original machine
So if you have the Jaguar

Maybe someone can make more now

it was local pickup only, in Missouri
