Official Fake Famicom Thread
Hello Famicom friends at GFF,
I've recently found .... something << Famicom-related >> in my attic: ( click here for a higher resolution ) Todays question:
What do you think? Should I post the content of the "a-bit-in-red-paint-tinctured-box" (which differs a bit from the outside appearance)? Do you have one too?! Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Is it even Chinese? Cause the text on it is definitely Japanese. Nothing about it would make me think that it's Chinese, aside from the obvious ghetto-ness of it.
Anyway, what the hell is it? Does it have its own awesome games, or is it compatible with the NES? These pirate imitation consoles sure are intriguing. I wonder what plugs it uses, too... This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
You should rename the thread title to "[Amusing] Official Famicom Clone Thread". Anyway, nice find. I wish I could find stuff like that in my attic.

Infernal demands you bust that out of its cage and hook it up for action packed action! Does it even have a cartridge slot? The box looks like it's just a slab of blue. Ten thousand years ago when all the cool kids were playing Swords and Serpents, one kid in class got a 'Spiker'.. at least, I think it was called that. Google searching 'Nintendo Spiker' only results in volleyball games. It looked nothing like a NES or Famicom, but it could take official American/PAL cartridges and it had Super Mario Bros. built in. Nothing else!
How ya doing, buddy? |
Meh, it would be nice to know whether that thing had any use at all... e.g. whether it played official releases or just cheap home-made pirate games. I've seen such pirated consoles numerous times in domestic catalogs; and I think there was something that suspiciously resembled the infamous N64 controller. You just plugged that thing into your TV and it had around 100 built-in games. Lame. Thank god I never bought that crap. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? I'm a placeholder. I'm there to unnecessarily waste your bandwith and annoy the shit out of you. Too bad that I'm too small to make any difference.

That's a pair of very short controller cables

I recently saw this posted somewhere else:
The name and looks might be decieving, but inside that fancy and oh-so-colorful box is in fact a famiclone. Note that this was spotted in Mexico though, so the $299 price tag isn't even worth a tenth of that in US dollars. The "Powerstation" next to it also looks intruiging, but alas, I have no information on what it could possibly be. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Apparently, 八通 (hachitsû) means "eight pieces" (where "通" is a counter for cables, copies etc.), 電子廠 (denshi shou) means "electronics factory". 大天才 (daitensai) means "great genius" and is the clone's name. But, as Bigblah mentioned, it's more likely that 八通電子廠 is the company's name, meaning that the game itself was released in Japan (this explains the usage of Japanese characters) by a Chinese company.
*PHEW* This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I had one of those. It was red. The upper A and B are turbo buttons.
It worked like a charm and it could even emulate european NES games. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Despite being hellishly bootleg, the "Family Computer" is probably every bit as functional as an actual NES. Possibly even moreso - bootleg Famicoms tend not to be region locked, and some of them come pre-loaded with bunches of equally bootlegged games. The beauty of the old Famicom is that, being a relatively simple bit of electronics, there's less to screw up. As for the text, it's entirely possible that it was just really bad Japanese. These are Chinese bootleggers we're talking about, here. Japanese is hardly immune to being horribly mangled by some guy with a Chinese-Japanese dictionary and no working knowledge of the actual language. I was speaking idiomatically. |
