All I remember about it was

A) The cost of $600 for the console
B) The size of the cartridges
C) The cost of the games - $200

At we be toys n shit the price contrast was really wild next to the Turbo graphix 16 when looked just as good and had fair prices.

$600 in 1989: $1,573 2025

I remembered it being too expensive for anyone to actually own but $650 in 1991 godDAMN. That's the equivalent of $1,500 today.

I'm also a big fan of quirky or oversized controllers. For different reasons, have a soft spot for the dreamcast controller, Neo Geo, and steel battalion's ridiculous battlestation:

Weren't the carts roughly the same size too (and didn't they have the actual arcade boards inside?)

The NES Advantage was like that. I loved that thing.
