i've never seen one. it's nintendo's creative way of getting around a korean law that used to make japanese imported electronics illegal. so they told hyundai to paint a couple NES's up and give them some games. If you ever saw one that'd be a nice collecters item

interesting note, you could try Hi-living, a korean auction site, and you might find one. I assume it can play NES games as korea is NTSC [and it is basically a NES]

The Comboy is kinda neat, but very hard to come by. I guess the Korean market is pretty closed off. I've only seen one on eBay, and that was a long time ago.

I don't know what region, but the Koreans had their own releases of some NES games.
