 Two main versions. Original has that nice curved bump on top, and no power light. Disk drives in these have no write restrictions, so are good if you want to write full games to disks. Revision has turbo-fire on the controllers. Two main versions. Original has that nice curved bump on top, and no power light.

 All the NES waveforms are a bit wonky, but my favourite NES sound is the triangle wave. Nice bassy, airish, 'bah' sounds. All the NES waveforms are a bit wonky, but my favourite NES sound is the triangle wave. Nice bassy, airish, 'bah' sounds.

 +==== Storage ====
 +
 +Regular-sized Famicom carts are about the same size as an [[audio cassette]], so racks and cases made to hold those are great for storage. Note that Famicom carts come indifferent heights.
 +
 +People 3-D print a variety of little racks (sometimes called display stands) on Etsy, and I assume other places like that.
