Not only can this nifty old-school 8-bit computer play all of your old NES games (with a converter, of course), but you can also program your own mind-challenging games, stimulating chiptune music, and "circuit-bending art" with this affordable keyboard, mouse, and controller combination. The package includes the keybaord, mouse, two game controllers, an OS cartridge (containing a GUI in Madarin Chinese as well as an English DOS prompt, BASIC programming language and sprite manipulator, and an 8-bit music composer), RCA cables, and a nine-volt power supply. What's more is that it ships in 3-5 business days, so you can relive the golden days of Saturday mornings with the NES before the week is out.

I mean, it sounds novel and all, it's nice it's in production, but, seriously, why not just buy a used Commodore 64 or Atari off of Ebay, get some more peripherals, access to VAST amounts of information, and programs, etc.
Yea, you can't play Nintendo games...but, the C64 and Ataris were some seriously fine computers and I think would be a better option for someone wanted to go down that path than one of these.
