Korean hardware & software pictures

Awesome pics.

What's the Korean NES Metal Gear actually like to play? Any different from the Japanese or Western versions? Korean text? What about the manual? Did you guys have Snake's Revenge released on the NES over there? What about the MSX games?

Oops, sorry for all the questions, the caffeine that keeps my inner Metal Gear fanboy asleep must be wearing off.

 

Amazing, simply put, amazing

Anyone here by any chance own http://www.retrogames.co.uk/?

I found some pics there:



These might be a pirates, but weren't noted on the information sidebar, as others were:



I updated the pics via imageshack to save the guy's bandwidth...

 

For what I have seen, the instructions manuals are korean only.
No answer for the other questions ^^

 

Some new interesting pics:

3Do instruction booklet




Korean nintendo 64



Two interesting magazines articles

 

Atari actually tried to sell the Jag in Korea??? Are they mad ? What were they thinking? Must have sold even less there than what it did in Japan.

Yakumo

 

there is something "less" ?? :lol:

that Korean N64 looks quite cool, will try to get my hands on one

 

Do any Koren software houses release their own games, or all they all Japanese games.

For instance, TecToy who release Sega stuff in Brazil have converted some GG games back to MS, such as StreetFighter2. Does anything like this happen in Korea?

 

The megadrive had at least one specific game, space turtle battleship.
Also, some games that were released in europa only had a korean version (for example, psycho fox)

 

There's a whole slew of unlicensed Korean Gam*Boy originals/MSX ports too...

(and not to nit-pick, but the SMS SF2 isn't a GG port, although most of the other TecToy exclusives are )

 

New bunch of pics.
3DO




As I have found a bunch of 3do pics, I assume they sold pretty well in korea.

Some unindentified systems going with a com boy and two gam boy

 

WTF is that etc etc X-PLUS II??

Looks badass, maybe the "42" denotes Famiclone with built in games?

 

...word is bondage...

 

an oldie from my collection:

just another famiclone.

 

Those pads look painfully bad :lol:

Yakumo

 

ah, those are pads? they look like the control of my grandmother's massage chair :lol:

 

if not for the side-mounted cable, they wouldn't be all that awful really. too bad tho.

 

D-Pad on 'em looks like the umbrella corp logo...

 

Nice

That Korean Neo Geo takes the cake for me...
