A console from an alternative timeline where minimalist design and "clean" lost and "maximalist" gadgets full of keys, lights, switches and low priority features won. All due to the influence from the timeline's visionary, the anti-Steve Jobs.

This might be a localization of a Chinese (PRC) original product designed to make the Famicom pass restrictions on games hardware - but in any case there were many variants on this design from many manufacturers.

Very nice. I miss the diversity of the era. Can you imagine a Thai gaming console today?
