Forgotten and Unseen Electronics Part 4

For some reason all I can find for weird electronics lately is stuff to do with Nintendo.

In 1980 Japan released the AV Family Computer. In 1993 they released it again to North America as NES 2 (also known as the Top Loader). This might be where they got the idea of how the Super Nintendo would look. It also had no LED light on it so you couldn't tell if it was turned on.

Not only are LEDs costly, but they are distracting. Many a day have I been sitting here at my desk, staring in wonder at the indicator light on my computer. So how can a true gamer experience the marvel of games with that tiny light, always on, always watching...
