Oh haha. My first actual console was a Famiclone, one called LEVIS, SNES shaped, 255 games built in (repeats galore of course). The EJECt button had the secondary function of being a huge power-on led. Joystick was like the SNES too, but lacked the shoulder buttons, it had a shittastic dpad that wasnt a dpad at all - just a circle with 8 directions on them - and the x/y buttons functioned as Turbos for a/b. The lightgun however, was identical to the original NES one as far as I can tell - of course, without the Nintendo logo.
The game selection was decent though, and allowed me to play many classics, such as Adventure Island (this one was literally 1/5 of the overall game number, it had a start point for every level, with different powerups at start, and sometimes different powerup functions), Ice Climber, Mappy, Road Fighter, Exerion, Pacman, Popeye, Galaxians, Tank, Combat, Tetris (this was the VS. Tetris), Duck Hunt, a lightgun game with cowboys, Chinese Chess (this one only appeared once), Chack N Pop, Milk Nuts, Antartic Adventure, Dig Dug, a WW2 plane shooter (you had a machinegun and bombs against ships below you, you got killed from one hit, there were bosses that took 4-5 hits - one on each propeller), and some wierd game about a some devil which was essentially a pacman clone, but the screen was moved around by some henchman working in the corners (getting squashed by the border happened rather often), and you had crosses and some dragon and I think maybe you could spit fire some way. Or one of the monsters did. I don't remember. I could never, ever figure out how to play that game.
This was actually an important part of my childhood, it was unfortunate that none of the games, except Mappy and Tetris, were worth playing for more then 10 minutes max.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
