Check this out, I spotted this, costed me $50 but I didn't care, as its unique, in my opinion at least. They made a pong unit, apparenly in 1977, as the date on the box. Well, here's the pictures! The box is pretty beaten up, but other than that, the console is in mint condition.

Very nice.. I'd say that's a fair price too :) There was a guy on ebay selling a mib copy of their breakout console not all that long ago too... but that went for a couple hundred I think.

 

 

Nintendo had a couple of pre-famicom games going:

 

-A laser shooting arcade in 1972.

-Pong and Breakout style consoles in 1976 ((Nintendo 6, Nintendo 15, Nintendo Block)

-Racing (Nintendo 112 Racing)

Never mind, it was the power adapter. I hooked it up to my universal adapter and it works like a charm. Only one problem, my tv isn't japanese, so it doesn't sync up with any channels. You can play it on like channel 10, but it has static for sound, but it works. You can also hear the sound through the interference, so the sound works as well. At least I know the unit works...

I tried it on an old tv, to no avail. When it gets here from my move from japan next month, I'll try it out on my big tv, I found out today that it has a Channel 1. If all else fails, I have a capture card that I can set to Japanese frequencies and play it on Channel 1.
