Does anyone know the names of the different systems (NES clones?) that were made. Not famiclones, but only those that will play a normal 72-pin games, without any adaptors or "keys". I know of:

Nes toaster
Nes top loader
M-82 12 cart player
NES/sharp TV combo
Sachen console (they made a 72 and 60 pin)
Nes test center machine
PAL Nes toaster and top loader
French Nes toaster and top loader ( I don't know their TV "spec"...not pal)
Super 8 (doesn't count)

I have heard of something from Brazil called a "phantom"....don't know if it's true or not.

Are there other NES 72-pin consoles out there (PAL or whatever)? THANKS for any help!

The French TV-Norm is SECAM, but the French NES had some really bad fake RPG output

There's also two variations of the UK release - early machines were distributed by Mattel and have 'Mattel Version' on the cart-flap. Shortly after, Nintendo started to handle distribution themselves, and these later (and much more common) ones have 'NES Version' printed instead.
There's probably other minor European variations aswell - my NES has 'GBR' on the bottom label, so presumably there's different ones for the German, Spanish, Dutch releases etc.

sorta a 7800, Genesis, Master System mix... odd if i do say so myself. Also, the company gradiente made a baby boomer version down in brazil among other games.
