Redditor Crafts Steampunk NES

Yeah, I was disappointed too. It's just a fancy case for an NES. Whoop de doo. Now, if it actually ran on steam power, like that one steam-powered record player that was shown here a while back, that'd be pretty cool.

you can get emulating machines from thinkgeek that play the games perfectly if you have lost the console

...What does an emulating machine have to do with anything here? Getting an emulated NES device won't change the fact that this "steampunk" NES is just an NES with a fancy case and no steam mechanics whatsoever.

Oh cool, about the one billionth of these. At least this guy at least tried to make it LOOK steam-powered. That doesn't make up for it not actually being steam-powered, of course.

How does "steampunk" these days mean "I put some vaguely bronze-looking crap on it and some extra dials?"
