Retro Goes Futuristic With Glow-In-The-Dark NES
By Justin Massoud
When I was young I tinkered with my NES, removing the top and using a deck of playing cards to hold down the cartridge just to see if it would still work. And it did. True story! But if my NES was all fancy and glow-in-the-dark like the one gameculture.com found I might think twice about taking it apart, let alone using it for anything other than a display.
To get that invincibility star glow the console has been painted with a special type of paint that reacts to blacklights. It still glows without one, but for maximum effect one is required. This sucker sells for $250, but alas, it’s presently sold out. Maybe by Christmas-time it’ll be back in stock.
