Not to be confused
with the magazine of the same name, the Nintendo
Power Famicom converter (60 to 72 pins) is quite the
catch. Packed in a dark turquoise case and with a
red, white and blue ribbon, it's perfectly marketed
for the States.
Nintendo Power: Made in Japan.
Red, White and Blue.
What's strange is
that there's only one screw holding the entire thing
together, but it seems either the manufacturer or a
previous owner glued the edges together to keep both
sides intact.
Apparently, the
quality control responsible for the warning labels
became smart here; they removed the two "realistic"
hazards that normally accompany the two pictures
shown on this case, that is, melting the entire cart
with a match and feeding the damn thing to a
crocodile (see
Don't Feed to
Crocs).
Caution: Nothing about
fire.
Unfortunately, the
converter doesn't seem to work right with NTSC
front-loader NES consoles; it produces scrambled
screens, but seems to work fine on a top-loader. It
was purchased for $11. |
