It has detailed information about a modem for the NES designed by the Minnesota State Lottery. This is the first I've ever heard of it. Does anyone know if a prototype of one still exists? Pretty cool tho.

I heard a while back that a modem of this sort was released for the nes quite a while back because at the time nintendo was trying to get into the adult japense market, where they could check the stock market, and little more, though it was a bad idea apparently because it took forever to connect and was like way toooo slow to be somewhat useful.

Sorry, but I don't know what it went for. I could make up a number if you'd like! In fact, here it is!!!


It went for $3,000 dollars! The seller accepted cash, money order, paypal or your left nut.

It's mentioned in Phoenix.

I ahve a question. If it was done then, why couldnt it be done now? Does anyone think theyre is a way to make an online adapter for the 8-bit? It has to be possible if it was done then. Imagine Playing MarioBrothers against your friends down the block, while hes still at home.

Well, Contiki (http://dunkels.com/adam/contiki/ports/index.html) has been ported to the NES, so maybe someone will make some network hardware for it.
