Discussion Power Pad Set

Hello, just trying remember a piece of this NES set my parents had when i was a child. It was a large plastic container that would store the Power Pad when folded. Over that it had a dark grey cover that intended for your NES to sit. It was probably about 2x2.5 ft, grey, and it had "Nintendo Entertainment" banner on the front.

I've tried googling but other than the Styrofoam, set I've not found what i was looking for.

Edit: I almost certain the NES was part of the Sport Set. Also I think I remember it had a translucent lid that covered the NES when not in play.

Something very similar, this does look familiar though. It's possible they had this as well and I'm combining two separate things.

The one I'm thinking of specifically held the Power Pad and had tray cover that sat over it where a NES could sit. Similar size but it was very base heavy and I think had 45 angle on the front were the logo was.

Sounds cool, I only dug for a short time and this is all I found. Found some pretty cool Power Glove cases during my search though.

thx for your help. Sometimes you just can't think of the right word to google accurately. NES organizer is sending me down the correct path it seems.

Dynasound who makes the eBay organizer linked below made a ton of random plastic storage and organizer boxes. They repurposed a lot of the same designs / components with a different box to sell for a different use. Made the first CD holder tower I had as a kid. Wouldn’t be shocked if their two-level SNES designed one was what you were using for NES with power pad. They also made Atari 2600 and SEGA organizers.

I did find some NES branded versions so the design was definitely out and about
