I happened to stumble upon a web page that has many cool pictures of some oldschool gaming stuff. The page is in french I belive: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/rhod/main.html

That was probabl;y used as an instore demo of some of the current released games, popular games, games on sale, etc. I remember that there was a Nintendo one at KB toys or toys-r-us type store.

put your top few games in, and press a button to switch. i am guessing that this type of a system was only available to stores. So I can see why it is a collectors.

To bad it is out of stock/out of print. I think there is a wayto hook up a Genesis controller to a PC, but you will need a PC with a parallel/printer port.
