It's been a while.. here is an update.
Back then i got the stuff because i was curious. It's definitely the most WTF videogame thing in my life.
The back of the box shows how the Mega CD model 2 can be connected to expand the system.
The truth is there is nothing behind the expansion port. There are no connectors, it's empty, but the cover plastic is there.
The picture shows a NES Zapper, but it's a blue justifier in the box as you can see in the bics BUt the foam cut for the gun forms a Zapper :D
Its already enough but here comes the best part:
The box states there are 500 games included. I thought its the better part of the MD library and of course i was thinking of 500 _different_ roms.
I turned on the system and couldn't do other than laugh loud. it's a NES clonde with literally 10000000 games but in fact that's 5 games repeated over the 10000000 rom banks.
Mario is included but it makes the thing even more wtf. Mario on Sega. i thought OK its good for playing some Mario.
First, the Nes has 2 buttons and these are 6 button pads. Its just 4 more buttons, how could it ruin the game? I tell you how. The shooting button is not assigned to the running button but the jumping.
I don't really know what to do with this piece of junk but i still have to laugh when i think of it. I may keep it.

Sounds like it's an amusing curiosity for what you paid for it.

Yes in a way it is, but i can't imagine the kids face when they get this for Christmas. Back in the 90s if i had one i wouldn't even know what it is supposed to be.
