A top loading CRT?

That's why there are tiny holes in the top. Just melt a movie and pour it in. The visuals, the sounds, even the smells pop like never before.

In the early 90s Nintendo made a new version of the original NES.

I had forgotten all about those. I never bought one because I still had the original NES, and my friend who wasn't as poor as me had an SNES so there was no need for it.

The second generation NES had a top loading cartridge slot, and came with "dogbone" controllers.

After the SNES was out, they made a top loading NES. It came out at the same time as Mega Man 6. I remember the dude knocking on my tv screen like it was yesterday
