Description: A somewhat uncommon Japanese game console from 1983. This unit works, but moving up and down with the joystick handle thing is more difficult than left and right and requires some precision. I'm not sure how easy this would be to fix. Luckily, the included game "Mr. Bomb" (Kaboom clone) does not require moving up and down. Please note that the only output from this console is an NTSC-J RF signal on Japanese channels 1 or 2. If you plan to plug this into an American TV, VCR, capture device, DVD recorder, NTSC demodulator, etc., make sure it can tune to CATV (analog cable TV) channel 95 (aka X and A-5) or 96 (aka Y and A-4). If you don't have such a device, I've had some success with the "RF to HDMI Analog TV receiver" available from Chinese sellers for $28, but they have a rather obtuse menu system so can be frustrating to use on a regular basis. You may have a better experience using an old VCR designed for cable TV to convert the signal to composite or S-Video, and another adapter to convert this to HDMI if you need it. NTSC-J signals are slightly brighter than North American NTSC signals, so turn down the brightness a little for the best results if using an American TV.
