There are hundreds of generic multi-barrel DC adapters out there available to be purchased from essentially any store whatsoever that sells electronics and virtually all of them will work with all of these systems, presuming correct polarity (or ignoring it, in the NES case).
And on Ebay or Amazon, you can buy very cheap DC adapters for other random devices which just happen to have the same polarity, an acceptable voltage (most of these systems regulate down to 5V internally, meaning voltage doesn't particularly matter as long as it's at least 7V, and the NES even uses a rectifier, so polarity doesn't matter).
Really, the "universal" adapters sold for video game systems specifically are the worst of all available solutions. Often they don't have sufficient amperage for the systems they claim to support. They're made with the cheapest possible components. And they just "ballpark" the voltage, which is usually fine (given these systems, as I say, usually run all components off regulated 5V), but isn't optimal.
Given the price of a Sega MK-1602 (kind of the swiss army knife of DC adapters, given it'll power SMS, Genesis, Sega CD, NES, compatible Game Gears and PC Engine, among others), it makes all the sense in the world to just buy a generic 1.5A (or something) DC adapter with replaceable barrels and adjustable voltage for $15 or so. Or, if you want to save a little money, do an Amazon/Ebay search for an adapter with the specific specs you're looking for (regardless of what it was actually made to be used with), selling for $5.
If you need a centre-positive adapter (e.g., Genesis 2, some Game Gears), you can either try to find one straight up (they're much less common), or get a negative adapter and a polarity converter.
