    I have one of these, though I got mine at a local thrift store maybe three years or so ago. It was new in the box, and they were selling them for I recall $2.99 (most likely overstock from a Dollar General). The box has a window in the front so you can at least see what you are getting. Otherwise, it is identical to what you have there, right down to the chintzy manual. I tried it out once, and the plug-in was at least as cheap as one would expect. I just keep it in the box alongside of three boxed Basic Fun arcade games I got at Wally World when they were carrying them.

Strangely this ROM was modified because they swapped one wrestler from the original game with another. Yet it's MSI and the exactly the same casing.

    I would play these games my quarter was already in the machine. so I learned to compensate. this might be from growing up poor.

    This would have to be a device emulating an NES, since the Capcom and MSI logos have nonstandard NES colors and their fades are too smooth for the NES. If it was a NES on a Chip (NoaC), those graphics would need to be part of the NES ROM, NoaCs are a heavily stripped down version of the NES architecture and thus not emulation. Ironically, the one-chip SNES, an official Nintendo product, was more of an emulation box than these bootleg machines.

      Been done. And we have covered that on the channel a few years back. Theres quite a few NES zapper games that have been patched to work on an LCD. Look up LCDZapper, Hyperkin even made a cheap Zapper thats compatible. Thats all for original hardware, but for emulation there is are lcd lightguns that work as well.
