Title: NES Wonder :-)
Post by: BigJim on December 23, 2007, 04:30:37 PM
My company recently shut on of their regional offices,

I went down there to make sure everything had been cleaned out and in the corner i spotted a dusty old box,

Upon looking inside was this lovley collection (see pictures)

Mind you the state the poor old thing was in - I almost did not recognise it,

Got it home and gave it a nice bath and hey presto - as good a new :-) Spent the afternoon playing Mario

Looks like it says "NES Version", interesting I've never seen one like that before.

Very interesting NES indeed...

That requires some research!

Maybe it is some Euro variant?

I thought it looked like "NES version" too. Definitely not something I am familiar with.

It says "NES Version" on my NES. Must be a European/British thing.

I think, and correct me if I am wrong on this, but at the time there was 3rd party companies making copies of Nes for those poorer folk who could not afford the real thing, NES version symbolises a generation of NES that was brought out during that time,

some of you may of come across the copy cartridges over the years, I think I have a few at home somewhere

Not something you'd expect to find in an office. Nice find.

At my dad's old job they were clearing out the office and they found a unicycle behind a cupboard. :laugh: So now I have a unicycle.

I'd love to find something like that clearing out an office.

I'd love that Advantage! It would be so much better playing any NES game with that.

Built like a tank too. I've never seen a broken or loose working one no matter how badly abused it was.
