The NES Deluxe Set is the Nintendo Entertainment System bundle Nintendo sold at the console's 1985 test launch. It is the set with R.O.B. the robot on the box. Check the listing photos to see exactly what this listing includes.
The NES went on sale in a New York City test market on October 18, 1985. The Deluxe Set was the launch bundle. It included the Control Deck, two controllers, the NES Zapper light gun, R.O.B., and two Game Paks: Gyromite and Duck Hunt.
R.O.B. is a small, battery-powered robot made by Nintendo. It works with Gyromite, one of the games in the set. Duck Hunt uses the Zapper, so the set came with the hardware both pack-in games need.
The NES reached Los Angeles in February 1986 and the rest of North America on September 27, 1986. In 1988 Nintendo replaced the Deluxe Set with the Action Set, which dropped R.O.B. and Gyromite.
Both pack-in games need special hardware. Gyromite needs R.O.B., and Duck Hunt needs the Zapper. The Zapper only works on CRT televisions. The original NES has RF output and composite video through RCA connectors, so an older tube TV is the easiest match for this set.
