Live your baller gamer fantasy with a gold-plated NES clone
Here's something for the gamer who has everything -- and still has money to burn.
If you've prized those fake, gold-plated Nintendo cartridges for the Legend of Zelda games, the Analogue Nt -- a clone of a Nintendo Entertainment System -- is for you. But instead of a plastic gold cover, the console is actually covered in 24 carat real gold plating.

It will definitely cost you. Analogue is only making a limited run of 10 for the Analogue NT, and each runs a hefty $4,999.
The Analogue NES is much different than many of the other "console-alikes" created to play old cartridges. It can output NES titles into S-video, component and even HDMI (which comes standard on the gold version).
The Analogue NT also has a clear underside, so you can get a glimpse at all the hardware in its throwback glory.
The Analogue consoles play NES and Famicom cartridges, and support up to four players -- as well as accessories like the Nintendo Zapper.
If you needed to sweeten the pot: an original gold copy of The Legend of Zelda is included.
