Retro console and games thread

Obviously not the one from my loft but I have one of these at home:
Intellivision! Used to love playing on Astrosmash and Armour Battle when I was a kid!
Not got one of these but some people might be interested and have never seen it before:
The resdesigned SNES which I think was only released in the US.
Also, want another reason why Sega did so badly? HiSaturn Navi
If you have a look on the net there are hundreds of retro inventions you never knew about aren't there! And it's also intersting to read about the systems and adds on that never saw the light of day.

This just turned up today:-
1 Jap Megadrive 1
1 Megadrive 2
14 games
2 control pads
all the leads
Cost me £12 from ebay, the condition of them both isn't particularly mint, but they work, next stop gamestation for some games (got toki coming as i type this).
Bargain if I do say so myself.

one is jap and will play anything with out the need for a converter (tho there is no region protection just the cart shapes i filed the slot on my uk spec one to play jap games)Seb said:
however the megadrives displayed text in there native regions language irrespective of the carts origion eg my uk games showed jap chars in my freinds jap drive.
the megadrive 2 for engish text, the jap drive 1 for shear sexiness!

Check what crazy words a jap megadrive has round the ring, not my pic ofcos, sold mine ages ago, with much regret. was MINT.... Impossible to find something like that again.
AV intelligent terminal? HIGH GRADE multipurpose use?
The 16-BIT logo is also totally different to the western versions, and is vastly nicer i reckon, looks a lot more future than what we got.
