Gee I feel silly now. Your mystery console wasn't that mysterious at all. Notice the Aquarius writing on the cassete? I just decided to google it, and found this

http://www.geekvintage.com/mattel-aquarius-cassette-list.php

It's the Mattel Aquarius home computer. That page even has the same pictures you used. I never, ever saw or used one of these before. I was using an IBM XT clone running DOS back then.

Oh haha my bad. I thought you specifically meant what console/system played these games. There were quite a few computer systems that used cassette storage, including the Commodore 64. Back in the old days, I used to read the instruction manuals on computer games front to back, and I always read something about the LOAD command for the C64. It had a cassette drive as an I/O medium.

The thing is, I never knew anyone with a Commodore back then, let alone use one. I only decided to google it since I'm also curious about which cassette system you are looking for. Could this be it?

plays sega megadrive and megacd games.

but it's made by JVC, has regular composite AV out (instead of the AV port) so you can use your own cables, has MIDI interface and only needs 1 power source (as opposed to 2 if you hook up a megadrive and mega cd together).

the only other megadrive derivation that might top this model is the sega multimega...

Sega MD as in Jap NTSC version or MY PAL version ?

If Jap NTSC you cannot on the machine (first version) as there is a latch when you push the MD or Genesis on button (cannot remember ) to lock the latch on the cartridge (cartridge notch on the left side if not mistaken). Ambil screw driver open the machine, unscrew the latch .. cucuk dan main. Later games has lockout to check and show warning cannot play in US / Jap region (I think Shinobi 3 has that region locked .. my cart is Jap)

If MY PAL (also HK PAL), some game can play (slower due to the PAL NTSC 50hz 60hz - most noticeable in Sonic), some cannot (show warning - only can play in US, JAP, Europe etc etc). I modded my MY PAL (which was a Jap NTSC modded for MY and HK region back in the day by importers) back to NTSC with a Jap / US region switch plus composite (yellow wire) video out smile.gif. Audio I malas to solder more wire so I just get a earphone jack converter and poke the front audio out.

Shouldn't be as new TV can handle legacy format. Only the games either region locked (software) or cart dimension cannot fit (hardware).

i think one of the legacy formats and plug is the SCART from UK which isn't pretty much dead like Betamax, right?

Oh most likely Japanese NTSC version. Since I go there all the time, it would make the most sense. Easier to bring back new haul
