The original NES also has standard RCA (mono sound) outputs on the back. That didn't last long...
Oh, and old consoles that have built in RF switches can often use the same RF modifiers -- the Genesis, Master System, SNES (original model, not small one), Genesis 1 (ie not either redesign, just the first model), NES, TG-16, and others (3D0? More?) all use the same standard RF modifier. The GC and N64 can use it too if you get one of Nintendo's two-part RF Switch/modifier sets instead of a third-party one-part unit...
Older consoles like the Atari 2600 and stuff need other connectors (that give it a stronger connection than a RF switch does), and I don't know if they share cables, but I'd be a bit surprised if they did... the whole "every system has its own cables" thing seems to be a bit more recent development.
