Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 🙄

Got my first of the Data East carts. Burger Time, Bad Dudes, Magical Drop II (is much too hard at start, need to play with settings).

Haven't tried the rest yet, but so far already a great addition. I haven't played Karate Champ in 30+ years, looking forward to that.

Time for a closer look at 1990's version of a USB hub. This is #Nintendo's Four Score, a 4-port multiplexer for the original #NES. Mine is the NES-034A model, which reportedly says "NTSC/PAL" on the board; there is also a NESE-034 variant, which I think is the weird Spanish type of NES hardware with extra resistors and diodes as an early region locking mechanism - mine should be universal.

I collected one sealed new-in-box for a couple of research reasons, which I'll get to. 🧵

A photo of the box of the NES Four Score, a four port controller adapter for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The photo on the box shows a tan plastic box with four 7-pin sockets for NES controllers and a couple of buttons and switches for configuration. The tag line reads "up to 4-player action with A & B turbo control".
A photo of the back of the Four Score's box, which explains it can be used to play up to four player games on the NES by plugging in that many controllers at once.
