What is it??

[OMF2097]

It's a PC Engine with an AV booster added on the back. Look at all that dust!

It may just need a cleaning, but what a shame it is to see this in that kind of condition.

**Note** The price is a little bit up there as a cheaper(cleaner) one should be easily found. I don't think the Jackie Chan's that rare.

What exactly does the AV booster do?

Couldn't he have taken a wipe to it at least? Sheesh!

Haha "This system had the equivalent processing power of a Super NES. But it was during the time of the first Nintendo."

Ignoring the Super NES's video chip, at least as much...the SNES has a gimped main processor after all.

And yes, during the time of the original Nintendo (the PC-Engine was released way back in 1986, I think, certainly '87). =)

What exactly does the AV booster do?

An AV booster allows you to use a composite connection (Yellow video plug, white audio plug) as opposed to the RF/Coax connection.

Sacramento, CA must be going through a wipe drought. This guy didn't care about the system whatsoever.

I'd buy it for a dollar though (need the parts).

wow what a cool idea to store HU cards i never thought of that! and yea that thing is pretty damned dirty. Jackie Chan is about as rare as super mario 3 :P .
