The Amstrad NN-900 is a Famiclone console made by an unknown company (who claims to be Amstrad) marketed in Italy around 2000.
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 same 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
All games have the copyright lines removed, and Spider Man has a black screen against the cutscenes.
