That'd be excellent if it were possible, $49 for a portable NES? I'll have that thanks

Too bad it doesn't tell you what games it has. IT says arcade games though.

i bet it has clones of arcade games, crap like puck man and hextris.

yeah there was a list floating around somewhere for the 50 game version. they make a 30 game (1.5 inch screen) a 50 game (2in screen) and a 75 game(2.5 in screen) i have a gif card for walmart, im hoping they will get em eventually and i will use that to pick on up, it would be perfect for work i can play it under my desk and no one will know. im really interested in how it would play, and how small it really is

That thread has some decent information and most people believe it's a NOAC machine.

nice thread fine zy... but im reallyempted to pick one up.. i want the max, just cause it has s omany games.. too bad i dont know crap about modding or programming or id try to throw nes games and what not on it.. so who knows how to do that for me

I bought the VG Pocket Max (75 games) today for $40 from RadioShack.

The hardware on this is surprisingly good, but the games let it down badly. It's like a mini NES, but with one thing missing - good games. The problem with the hardware is that the directional pad is a bit clumsy. Not ideal, but useable. The speaker also emits an annoying buzzing sound that is not apparent while music is playing - probably because the NES square-wave sound FX drown out the buzzing.

There are no real standout games and it seems like a bunch were quickly thrown together to bring this to production. Most of the racing and shooting games are a different face on the same games, with small differences here and there. It's not that they aren't different from each other - they are, but just not enough to be believable.

As-is, it's a pretty solid little unit that could have been much, much better if different or better games were selected. Even a few old-school Space Invaders/Galaxian/Pac Man clones would have made this a much better deal.

It might be worth picking up the VG Pocket (30 games) from Wal*Mart for $20, but $40 on the 75-game version is not worth it. The games are just not good enough.

Hopefully someone will hack it and allow us all to add new/different games

ok i keep wanting to edit my post because i keep reading more of this thread you found. someones taking theirs apart and stuff.. mmm i want one...MODDED!

there are pictures and everything on that thread!!

Probably clones. But $50 for what could potentially be a portable NES

I'd buy that for a dollar or er... $50 bucks.

I got one of those at a local save-a-lot. Talk about a piece of crap. Claims to have 2600 games but it is actually 26 games with 100 levels of speed. It was only $1 though. MAybe I should put it on ebay as a rare no longer produced handheld game lol.

Makes me think a little of this ok not a portable one but possibly a similar line in dodgyness in terms of legality

Where is everyone getting nes from with this product? As far as I can tell this is an arcade handheld...

The chip is NES based, meaning you can mode it to read NES roms and have a cheap portable NES. In theroy.

That about sums it up! I also saw one being sold new in BlockBuster video stores. It's a cheap knock-off of the PSP design.
