Very nice. I miss the diversity of the era. Can you imagine a Thai gaming console today?
nine_k•7mo ago
Somewhere on Kickstarter possibly.

But it's hard to search for, unless you can read and write Thai.

spankibalt•7mo ago
Looks better than an N64, lol.
utopcell•7mo ago
Any idea what that color crt was before it got transplanted?
rasz•7mo ago
I think that picture is just misleading due to angle. CRT on other pictures appears to have blue tingle to it making it seem like its not BW https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/comments/1lc73jf/sonsonic...

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.

I love the over the top aesthetics of the Thais. In many ways Thailand is the yin to the yang of Japan when it comes to style and design.

Let’s hope for the day where the Thais rule consumer electronics like the Japanese once did :-D

ourmandave•7mo ago
The whole design of the Famicom was minimalism because they wanted a price way under the competition to take over the market.

Yamauchi tasked Uemura with developing a system that would be superior to its competitors and difficult to replicate for at least a year. Uemura's main challenge was economic rather than technological; Yamauchi wanted the system to be affordable enough for widespread household adoption.

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.

It's weird how it says "Thai and English Computer" on the front but the ports are labeled with simplified Chinese on the back.
