Changes: Amstrad NN-900

Revision as of 18:10, 23 June 2014

The Amstrad NN-900 is a Famiclone console made by an unknown company (claims to be Amstrad) marketed in Italy.

The console

This console is essentially a Famiclone console with a built-in multicart. Along with the console, the box contains two joypads and a cheaply-made light gun (used only in two of the games included).

The PCB is a standard Famicom 60-pin input (but very small, like a cartridge's PCB), with two tape-covered "chips" on the back.

The joypads are almost identical to Playstation controllers (they even have the PS buttons), only without the L/R buttons and the analog sticks. The "gun" is just a cheap light gun. Both controllers and the console are cheaply made.

The system can be connected to the TV via RF (see box) through a box on the antenna input (so is visible only on certain channels, like some other systems).

This console is very similar to the Polystation 2 because of its false claims and resemblance to the real PS2.

Game List

This is the actual game list. The system says "8000000000 in 1", an exaggerated number like in a multicart, and as a multicart, there are only 18 games. All of the others are repeats

In all of these games the copyright screen is deleted, and Spider Man has a black screen against the cutscenes.
