it's 1992 and you've spent the past year lobbying your folks to buy you a Super Nintendo to replace your aging NES. finally, christmas arrives and you find a box wide enough to wrap your arms around under the tree along with a second small package surely containing a cartridge.

you tear it open and find a ... Super Nin.. men.. Megason?

but ah - it sure looks like a super nintendo. maybe it's just a clever clone!

yet, it resists all attempts to insert that shiny new Super Metroid cartridge your parents got you.

to your horror, your sibling pulls out your old copy of Bayou Billy and inserts it easily. you have just received a new NES clone shaped in the form of a super famicom.

i guarantee this happened to some kid out there, and i weep for them

@vga256 the grandfather of TV We System, the "nintendo wii" that's actually one of those joystick TV systems that's full of bootleg atari games.

@vga256 I've been looking for a Super Megason in box for a while, but not at the price I wanna pay for it.

@powerllama 😆 my very first memory of a nintendo: hearing THE ADVENTURES OF BAYOU BILLY in my best friend's garage at 10 years old

@vga256 I like how the game your sibling picked in this scenario was Bayou Billy. Really twisting the knife, there.
