Super Genintari Console
I used to enjoy playing cool games on my Supernintendo console back when I was like 10 years old. Then I got into PCs and forgot about the console craze. I did manage to get my paws on other consoles later on, but computers provided more ways of having fun. Nowadays, this situation is totally changed: consoles have somehow become better multimedia machines.
Anyway, back in the early 1990s there were more companies that participated in the console war. Now, there are only three of these: the PS3, the Xbox 360 and the Wii. What should we do with all those great consoles that disappeared into thin air?
Well, somebody thought of a solution for that problem and came up with the Super Genintari console. It’s a box that accepts cartridges from the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Atari 2600. Though bulky and hard-edged (it’s bigger than the old Xbox case), it sports a backlit Pac-Man as an on/off switch and has a transparent case.
Richard DaLuz took the motherboards of all four systems and crammed them into one big box. He claims that he used the components of the top-loading NES and SNES, a model 3 Sega Genesis, and an Atari Flashback 2. Each of the four game cartridges can run simultaneously, and can be selected via push-button switches. DaLuz says that he has been working on this project since 2002.
The output signals are all combined into one set of A/V cables and there is only one power cable which hooks easily to your mains (the huge transformer is inside the console). There you go, a neat way to salvage the remains of your old-fashioned consoles. Check out this video for a more detailed look at the console:
