Sold MX Super AVG game console

[tbtorro]

A loft find here at home and no space for it: Here we have what appears to be a no name game console, ehm, actually it has a name: SUPER Arcade Video Game from the well known maker of MaxWise Technology.

Comes in tested condition complete with 2 controllers (one works fine, the other seems a bit unstable), light gun, RF cable and PSU.

It has a cart slot on the top and it boasts to have 9999 built-in games, but reality is a bit more humble: I've located about 5-6 games:

Super Mario
Battle City (Battle Tank ?)
Galaxian
Lunar Ball (some kind of pool)
Duck Hunt
Crazy Gunner (or something)

I'd also like to point out the other amazing features:
- High garde multipurpose use (no comment)
- Japan component (probably)
- More compact for easier use (looks pretty compact to me)
- Dual turbo function key (couldn't find this)
- Power Microprocessor (whatever that is)

Somehow, two still pictures found their way to the box art. One from the poster of Terminator 2 sporting Arnold Schwarzenegger, and one of the annoying kid from Home Alone. But I guarantee that these two movies have no relation to the console or the games whatsoever, but still, I'm somewhat impressed.

Sorry for the fuzzy screenshots, I don't have a very good cam here.

In short, it looks like some kind of NES knock-off and yours for the amazing price of £6 + postage as PP gift. Declare interest and send a PM.

Shipping as unregistered letter is £12 within the EU and £17 anywhere else. No compensation for damaged or lost parcel. And there is (understandably) no warranty or returns.

I have no clue, and unfortunately no extra pads here to test them. The ports look exactly like on the Amigas or on the C64 i.e. 9 pin like this:

The PSU is 220V wall plug, should work fine in the UK just need an EU-> UK converter plug, which goes for about one pound on Ebay.

Please send a PM if interested.

I have a bit of an interest in Famiclones, and can answer the controllers question with 99% certainty.

Those ports may look like standard Atari/Amiga/Sega/etc. ports, but they usually aren't compatible and can in some cases get fried, or can fry the controller, if you plug something intended for one of those platforms into a Famiclone with ports like that.

Generally, controllers from other Famiclones are just fine, however, because nowadays they're all pretty much based on the same one or two NES-on-a-Chip designs that have been floating around for ages.

I hope that this is useful to you guys, and, tbtorro, good luck with your sale. (And thanks for the very amusing opening post - it got a laugh out of me. )

Ok thanks

Its strange the one I already have (Called "Creation")has normal Nintendo ports (and takes all NES things) it is shaped like a mini NES, but it came with 9-pin controllers

Things like this are exactly what I want for Computer club

Some NES-clones (the only difference tends to be the cartridge connector, and sometimes the controller ports) made from 2003 onwards have NES-compatible controller ports, for what it's worth. If memory serves, certain peripherals (the four-player adapter springs to mind for some reason, but I haven't looked this up in some time) may not work, though.

Great stuff, thanks for clearing up a bit, and yes this was more of a novelty thread than a sale thread.. I would have hated to chuck this out, as it's functional and all. But I have an snes and several other consoles so sadly storage space is at premium.
