This is also the SHARPEST NES picture you can get too. They're RGB and wired up like a arcade cabinet inside. Everything is pixel perfect, and theyre stunning to see in person. Games hit different on them
@@Batman-jm7np The bottom base is just a stand with a cavity with an full normal NES on the inside. They only had to detacth the flip lid, the rest is just hiding behind black plastic. To get to it just take the TV off the stand.
@@Jorda5s No, it has connections that are attached from the bottom of the TV, but the base is detachable so you can just have the TV and not the console. As it is just a standard SHARP TV but with custom composite connections on bottom.
You all better have a hard af job like at a oil rig or similar or be dying from cancer to feel like that at 30 and under. If not wow weakness at a new level.
I still have mine! ❤ It works great. I did however had to replace one of the vacuum tubes some time ago and they aren't as hard to get as one might think because you can also get them custom made. I ended up replacing both tubes as the other one was in its way to heaven anyways. As a gamer and a collector I feel really blessed that I was able to look after my handhelds and consoles even at a young age. Video games will always have a special place in my heart.

Not really. It's only the older combination hardware that tend to be pricy, unless your dealing with a moronic thrift store that doesn't understand values. Case in point I've seen a regular NES with no games and 1 controller in a thrift store showcase for 100 CAD, when its only worth 30 CAD.
Man this was way ahead of its time and I thought the little character themed tv with the built in vhs player where cool this is next level I love it wish they still made things like this
You can usually find CRTs being given away, and you can nab an HDMI to AV converter for like $10. I got an old Sears set and it's great for emulation or using my actual NES/64.
I highly recommend getting a CRT TV! There is just something special, something beautiful, something more real about watching things on a CRT, it’s great! and in all honesty there won’t be a better time later to buy one.
Dude, I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid.... my father saved up for months to get one of those from Kmart back in the day... Wow, I didn't think any of them the survived😮..... thanks for sharing boss😎👍... Lots of memories for sure
TooManyGames was really fun, it was great meeting you, and all the vendors were super friendly, picked up Rougue Squadron 1 and 2 and the Rebel Strike demo disc, a Double Dash poster and Halo CE on vinyl. Also had AVGN sign my Christmas Vacation BluRay. My friend had Charles sign a poster for his son which was cool.
My grandmother had one of these when I was a kid. A few years ago I asked her if she still had it. "yes... oh wait I gave it to your uncle last year to put in his RV..." So close I was. The nice things about these is that they are internally connected via RGB so the visual quality is amazing compared to your typical RF or composite connections in American sets.
One of these was left in a closet in the house I bought a few months back. The two front legs are broken off and the covers for the front are missing. No controllers were left. But it still works! Talk about an insane find!
That note must not’ve been written by the TV, I think the table wrote it and passed it up to the TV… unfortunately the TV doesn’t seem to have read the note though….
I do remember these. I think there was also a VCR with a Nintendo slot or something like that i might of seen, i was a kid so i cannot remember properly.
I remember going to a swap meet in salt lake city and there was a shop that was selling a bunch of retro games and had super Mario world playing on the SNES version of this TV. It had the cartridge slot on the top and the controller ports I think on the side of the TV. It was an interesting thing to see
Seriously lol. I’m 35, eat junk food like crazy but I also workout and have a physic and quickness of someone in their early 20s. People complaining about feeling old in their 30s is sad
I assure you, that more than a few of the current owners of these TVs are preserving them as a museum would, and some day, some where, some museum or other will put one on display- in the mean time though we can thank TH-cam and other sites for letting us take a look at them.
My uncle has one. He still has it and hejust put it out in his back trailer. He goes there and plays Tetris on it all the time. My dad would go to and they both would play
Grab a broken one off of EBay fairly regularly for a few hundred, fix it, flip it to a collector for about $1,500. I kept a couple just in case. The hard thing to find is decent controllers and the feet still attached. They break easy. And it weighs a ton!
It is very cool, but the fact that it still outputs in composite and not RGB takes away from it IMO. I have a very rare Nintendo Playchoice Countertop version and bought the NES link adapter which lets you play NES carts, the image is sharp and in RGB.
Adam you and I love similar things I see. Video games, ducks, trains, etc. I'm in Pennsylvania and open to finding friends to talk to who are similar to me. 😊
Tell me about it. Got 2 tvs working and no remote. Drove 215 miles to pick one up from an ebay auction I won and when I get there the guy sold it to someone else who was too late to make a last minute bid for 10 dollars more and didn't even have the sense to call me knowing I'm on the way
Note for future buyers and current owners, Does not play PB&J or Bologna sandwiches. Or any game after 2 sandwiches it shits the bed. Should've tried Grilled cheese, maybe?
Isn’t that just amazing!? A minute earlier he was probably fairly certain he’s heard of every retro thing there is to hear about…. And then he walks right up to this.
I remember Rent-A-Center carrying them back in the day, I was super young but I remember going with my mom to make her payment and they had one in the lobby
eyyy. I use to have one when I was a kid. I'm sure mine was a green model. I wonder why we got rid of it. maybe it broke. But the NES section was working and just dope lol
Crazy how I had this growing up in my room and I swore it was a vcr till my big bro put mario 3 on changed my life forever.... I still have it but its seen better days aka the feet😅😓
Love how spawnwave says the price is out there to justify himself getting it like hes not making at least 30k a month on youtube. Nice to see hes still attached the reality
I think I saw one at Service Merchandise or Sears. They were expensive as all get out. Back in the day when a 13' Color TV on sale for Christmas for only $249. I still have mine. It was a Samsung. I also got a 4 head VCR Samsung the next year and it was on sale for $199. Adjuat that for inflation. I still own both. Good thing I never wanted a CD-I. This was a rich persons purchase and probably dropped off at a Goodwill when clearing out their junk in the garage.
I remember my Local K-mart had one of these, I was never able to convince my mom or grandmother to buy it for me.
It would have been cheaper to buy you a Nintendo deck and a TV separate
@@west-texas9806 oh I know that now, but explain that to 10 year old me.
How much was it if you remember?
@@PeanutButterBean oh dude, this was like 30 years ago, I don't remember... but it was the price of a tv+a NES so that much
@@theharmelodynetwork oooh didn't realize it was that long ago lol. But now the price is probably a bit more then that if it was still around
"Please don't touch. I am very old and fragile."
Me too 19SV111, me too..
😂 i repeated out loud when i read the sign as well. I felt that...
Are all your feet intact?
We need that on a t-shirt.
That place is a rip offfffff, but I did just sell one without the door for 2500.

I felt the same way as the TV when I turned 30.
😂😂
Same! 😂😂

God I miss sears, kmart, blockbuster, Hollywood video, and just that whole era. I wish I could spend a week of vacation back in that time.
Me too!!!! The cars! The gadgets! Everything!
We’ll have to both vacation back then!
@@jasonhatt4295 cheers!
We need more like this, I remember the tv that had a ps2 built in(i think)
Yup got one with 2 black and red controllers and parents got me 5 games with it as well. Feet still intact still works.
I'll buy it lol

Last part threw me😅
What the hell are you talking about?
That’s badass. I had one too but it’s long long gone. Same thing with my vhs tv.. long gone. Wish I took care of my stuff when I was a kid 😂
Wow tube tv’s were obsolete by the mid 70’s that’s crazy this thing wouldn’t be solid state besides the CRT
@@jahjoeka Eeeee yeah I can see why 🤣😂
140 Deaths in zelda i? Wow. That is impressive.
Donna "DiesALot" wasn't a real gamer it seems.

$2700
@@davidkarabaich1779 wtf, i smack myself all the time for not keeping shit i had as a kid...
Ayee you famous now 🎉😂
Hat bro! I got the same one.
that's honestly reasonable, I was thinking somewhere around 5k or more@@davidkarabaich1779
I walked by this a dozen times at TMG and didn’t even notice what it was. I thought it was just an old TV
Man this was way ahead of its time and I thought the little character themed tv with the built in vhs player where cool this is next level I love it wish they still made things like this
Honestly we can all just admire the fact theres some old time things like this that are just in good hands to keep them going.
Sick! I must've missed that! But yeah in general most of the used game prices at TooManyGames were outrageous.
Whoa! Does this bring back a lot of memories! My best friend when I was a kid had one of these. Wow. So many memories
I actually still have one of these. Even considered selling it. And it is in great condition
How much are they worth and going for?
@berealsupportive2744 Well, a few years ago, I saw one on eBay going for about 1500. So now? I'm really not sure, to be honest.
Love the JPP guys! I live near all their locations and it’s by far one of the best retro game stores out there!
I miss watching tv on a crt.. image just looks a certain waay that I can just watch all day :p

Hotels had them back in the day. Fun times
Must’ve been awesome! Someone should really open up a hotel primarily focused on video gaming! …maybe they have… I should look it up!
My good friend had one of these and we played it all the time. I miss that TV
I always wanted one like this. Should’ve gotten it decades ago.
Yooo I know that guy in the stars hat!!! He's at my local just press play 😅😅

Being over here in the UK, I can't say I even knew these existed. Very cool!
I do remember hearing that Nintendo also had a deal with hotels for the hotel to get some for their rooms/lobby
Sharp are some of the BEST crt tv’s to play old school games like ps2 and ps1
I had this TV back in the day. Best TV to have if you have a camper or traveling over friend and family homes.
My grandmother had one of these when I was a kid. A few years ago I asked her if she still had it. "yes... oh wait I gave it to your uncle last year to put in his RV..." So close I was.

That note must not’ve been written by the TV, I think the table wrote it and passed it up to the TV… unfortunately the TV doesn’t seem to have read the note though….
My friend had one, played a lot of blades of steel on it
Wow!
This is amazing!
Sure it is old,but it was a staple of department stores back then!
I do remember these. I think there was also a VCR with a Nintendo slot or something like that i might of seen, i was a kid so i cannot remember properly.
I have 3 of the original Sharp/NES controllers. One of my prized gaming possessions.
Always wanted one of these as a kid, even though I already had a NES. I remember seeing them in gaming magazines back in the day.
I remember going to a swap meet in salt lake city and there was a shop that was selling a bunch of retro games and had super Mario world playing on the SNES version of this TV. It had the cartridge slot on the top and the controller ports I think on the side of the TV. It was an interesting thing to see
never see that in person
that's literally a gem
Reminds me of the Laserdisc player that had a Genesis built in!
Used to have this one. We unfortunately had to sell it due to financial reasons. Had the original remotes, too!
Love looking at all the video game tech I missed out on I grew up on ps2 best console imo
I just knew of the Famicom and Super Famicom Sharp sets, never knew there was an NES one!
I remember seeing one back then. Thought it was the coolest thing ever 😆
I empathize with that sticker and i'm 36. "please don't touch. I'm very old and fragile"
I'm at twenty six and i feel like it and they say staying active helps with age but thats all i do 😂
Just to stay on theme...I'm 46 and it gets worse....waaaay worse. Now where's a punk 16 year old or a 56 year old grandpa?
I'm older than you and doing fine. Work out more or something?
I’m 35 and find it funny that some people are already burnt out by their 30s 😂
Lack of exercise does that
Seriously lol. I’m 35, eat junk food like crazy but I also workout and have a physic and quickness of someone in their early 20s.
People complaining about feeling old in their 30s is sad
That thing should be donated to a gaming museum.
You should buy 1 and donate it then.
Yeah buy one and donate it
I assure you, that more than a few of the current owners of these TVs are preserving them as a museum would,
and some day, some where, some museum or other will put one on display- in the mean time though we can thank TH-cam and other sites for letting us take a look at them.
Damn, Sharp been making Nintendo screens since forever!
How come I’m just learnin of this!?! I’m old and I never knew Nintendo had such a contraption!!!! 😮
When something is expensive, we need a new way to say "pick it up" because it needs more weight to it. 😂
I have made good my acquisition of the latest bauble of electronical video-graphic gaming historiam.
Never seen this as well. Great find!
My uncle has one. He still has it and hejust put it out in his back trailer. He goes there and plays Tetris on it all the time. My dad would go to and they both would play
If it had a VCR in it I would’ve never left my room.
Imagine you opened up the cart housing and found someone from 1987 dumped a whole can of baked beans in it?
My Uncle that lived in CA had one of those or at least back in the late 80s.
My Cousin had one I remember he had it with him on family gatherings.❤

I played Super Mario Bros on this at a Kmart in 1988 for about 3 hours.
That was literally the first “console” I ever played when I was little. My mom had one ❤ it’s been so long since I’ve seen one 😮
I remember them in pawn shops around the 90s
Sears, now that's a place I haven't been to in a long time.

i thought i seen it all from nintendo years ago, then something like this comes up.
That's crazy, I've never seen a copy, of Zelda that wasn't gold! Nice 👍🏼👍🏼

A half decent CRTV will set you back almost the same price as a half decent modern TV today

the remote is the rarest part of this thing now. a local pawn shop had one a few years ago. I think they wanted $700 or $800.
for the TV or just the remote?
