    The Nintendo Entertainment System Action Set was a console bundle that was sold in many countries in the late 1980's and early 1990's. It included an NES Control Deck with the Zapper light gun (initially available in grey, later replaced with the orange model in later versions of the bundle), two controllers, and the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt double game pak. It was most popular out of all the NES console bundles, resulting in the proliferation of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt game paks compared to the stand-alone versions of both games.

    This action set you have with the gray zapper was from before 1988. We got ours around Christmas of '86 if I'm not mistaken. Great memories!

    50? Wow thats 57 less than I payed in 87. I learned what taxes were buying the Nintendo in 87. My Dad was like you dont have enough. I was like I have 100 lol.

      @8-Bit_Flashback  Před 3 lety +1

      Should be close to the same year. Mattel was the distributor in Canada for the NES consoles.

    The Action Set is from 1988, and it has the Nintendo round seal and the gray Zapper.

      This is the set I had with just the right packaging. I want to get it again. This here, changed my life. I wouldn't have the passion to do what I do now if this didn't ignite my passion for games.

    I wish I would have kept the original saran wrap that attached the power pad to my action set. It's so hard to find now because everyone threw it away :)

    I could bet $1000 that you are lying , there no way that you can get this NES for $50, special if it coming from a pawnshop! They always make researchs about prices! I used to work for those maggots!!
