MAKE: Blog: 4-in-1 retro console

4-in-1 retro console

What happens when 4 classic consoles are bombarded with gamma rays? - perhaps the Super Genintari gives us some clue -

This 4-in-1 Atari 2600/NES/Genesis/Super NES combo system actually began its life sometime circa early 2002, and at the time it only consisted of a Sega Genesis/32X and Super NES. Soon after accidentally destroying the 32X (no big loss) and moving to the smaller Genesis 3 board, I decided to throw an NES into the mix, making it a 3-in-1 system. It went through a few redesigns before I finally chose to go all out and add the Atari as well since i'd already spent so much time on it. I worked on it on and off for several years (taking sanity breaks for several months at a time) and finally have a finished machine to show you! This is to date the most involved and time-consuming project I've ever worked on, and I'm happy to finally call it done.

Looks like a retro-gaming force to be reckoned with - the case was custom formed from acrylic with a strip heater - excellent combo with those orange LED buttons. - Super Genintari
