Default Game controller

ok, a few weeks ago my friend bought this game system.
Its basically a game controller with the A/V cables and power adapter.
The controller has over 75,000 FULL games from back in the days.

Including duck hunt, Contra, alot of old school games. Does anyone know the name is this gizmo.

I want to buy this for my upcoming ski trip. So when I drive I could use that instead of hooking up my PS2 to my car...... ( passengers will play, I focus on the road. Unless im in traffic )

i'm wondering the same thing. i played one a few years ago and it rocked. i tried to get a similar one and it had "100 games" ... too bad 35 of them were Super Mario Brothers variations and hacks.

those gizmos dont have a set name, they're technically illegal. they sell them at almost every mall, bargain show, and trade show, especially during the holidays. they generally have 100-250 nintendo games on them, but the list of games when you select one to play is reapeated over and over until it reaches 1000, or 2500, or 75,000, however many it says it has. they're not that bad of a device really if you want to play those games, i would buy one if i didnt have them the same games on my computer via emulator, which is really what it is anyway.

*edit - look on ebay for one.

Those 75000 game ones are just full of random repeats... on the other hand... "someone" I know has a gameboy advance cartridge that had 99 NES games and an emulator on it :rick:

It was something like that. I don't really remember. h:

I can't find the one that looks like the N64 controller. I see a lot that looks similar to the PS controller.
