Especially the guy in the second photo who is testing the system. That shirt/jacket combo...wow. And the president of the company in the second to last photo with his leather jacket half zipped up. Brings me back. If this had been a Canadian Famiclone factory (if such a thing had ever existed) the only difference would have been the looming omni-presence of mullets on every head, including the female workers.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-44154624089543325962010-11-11T10:25:51.931-05:002010-11-11T10:25:51.931-05:00If they're talking about CPUs and GPUs, then t...If they're talking about CPUs and GPUs, then that means it's not a NES-on-a-Chip, right? It's an honest to goodness, solidly built early generation clone. Amazing they made it fit like that.<br /><br />I have a real fondness for the first gen Famicom clones. They were pretty sturdily built. Today they're flimsy, ugly, and have incompatibility problems.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-43797286093926226092010-11-11T08:32:44.618-05:002010-11-11T08:32:44.618-05:00I am surprised by how small the console appears to...I am surprised by how small the console appears to be. It looks like the system is the size of the controller and the cables are extremely short. <br /><br />Anyway, thank you for the article. It's unfathomable to think that someone would try to go to a current-gen clone factory today. That magazine article is truly one-of-a-kind.gogogoldberghttp://www.twitter.com/gogogoldbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-41720424825424782712010-11-11T04:08:34.388-05:002010-11-11T04:08:34.388-05:00Nice, I still hold grudges against Nintendo for cr...Nice, I still hold grudges against Nintendo for creating exclusive wars. :D<br /><br />great article! :)Gezegondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824564740415027716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-23867140250361245792010-11-10T14:32:18.731-05:002010-11-10T14:32:18.731-05:00In Brazil, there's one particularly famous clo...In Brazil, there's one particularly famous clone called Dynavision. I believe it is sold to this day. The manufacturer also deals with telephones, besides clones. It was a very cheap way to play NES at a point, and it also came with a zapper, duck hunt AND a cart packed full of games (You know, that 100-on-1 carts). Great Article!Senakanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-10629774198453805972010-11-10T13:49:19.826-05:002010-11-10T13:49:19.826-05:00One of my favourite entries that I've seen, we...One of my favourite entries that I've seen, well done Derboo.<br /><br />You're right about the common standard thing. In South Africa there was a Famicom clone branded with the Reggies logo and insignia - Reggies being the domestic equivalent of Toys R Us in SA. There were also TV adverts for it. So I can imagine it happening quite openly in many countries.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.com
