Yeah Nintendo released a top-loading design NES, which apparently is supposed to be a lot better than the normal front-loading one in the sense that it is immune to the mysterious blinking disease...

There are 2 models of Sega Master System, and 3 of Genesis!

Yay!

The top-loading NES is better. I don't really remember the last time I played on a an old model NES, but the top-loader is pretty great. I'd say that 70% of the time the game works on the first try which is pretty great when dealing with NES games...

I had the old front-loader, replaced the 72 pin connector and it worked perfectly fine!!!!!

Until I bought a game that must've done something horrible like scratched the pins or something, because since I put it in it's very very hard to get the system to load with a screen that's not scrambled in some way...

But huzzah! I have purchased a top-loader off of Ebay...

I don't think we had those in Europe.
