I seem to recall the nintedo using Z80 CPU's. Wish I could remember where I
read the article, Compute! maybe, Incider? Nintedo also encrypts its
cartridges so that they can not be copied and so developers must sell they
products to big N in order to be published. Epyx (?) has apparently cracked
the code and intends to publish indepently. I can't see a Nintendo board being
particularly useful to a // user, we can already play 5000+ games of better
quality and for GS users superior G and superior S!!!

BTW have you seen the prices of cartridges, CAN$50 regardless of title (even
Wheel of Misfortune). Four software packages and you've exceeded the price of
the hardware.
