do you own any famiclones?

[Marlon]

I want one

[Lee Yo]

I honestly think it'd be a little weird playing a game and having that thing sit on your TV and stare at you.

LOL, 

That's the best location for it while playing because the IR controller needs direct sight to the Penguin.

You get used to the Evil Pirate Penguin pretty quick, lol.

[satoshi_matrix]

That Famiclone is damn damn creepy. Where'd you get it? I want one now.

[Lee Yo]

I got it at some cheap Video Game booth in the mall. Not even a store, it was one of those portable booth/carts you see in the midlle of the mall. They have a case load of them. I'd offer to go buy one and ship it to you but they have been getting popular and now they are asking $35+ That's crazy.

I think I paid about $20 out the door for mine brand new in the box still wrapped in plastic last year.

Your best bet would be to look for one on Ebay or something. It's sure is nice to have one Brand New in a plastic wrapped box with fresh firm buttons. But I've seen used ones on Ebay go for about $10.

Good Luck man.

do you live in america or somewhere else because even though ive seen the N64 plug'n'play famiclone it would just seem wierd that they would sell a famicom in NA

[nintendodork]

Well yeah, most clone systems have a port for Famicom games instead of NES so people who aren't familiar with the system don't know that it's exactly like the NES.

Yes, I'm in California and I purchased mine at the local mall.

I have the RetroDuo, a small retro Yobo knock off that works really well, a Micro Genius, Super Joy III, the Penguin clone, and an Sharp Twin famicom (yeah, ok this is a licensed piece).

[NintendoKing]

I recently acquired a wireless Penguin Famiclone that comes with the 111 in 1 multicart just like Lee Yo's. But mine has a different controller design (more like a Genesis controller), and my handgun lightgun doesn't have a orange tip.



I have been using many different carts on it, all playing quite nicely.

[Cheetahmen]

An Ultra 8-bit which came with an 84-in-1 cartridge (which has Flipull and Gradius on it ) and a Gun Fighter which is pretty much one of those N64 controller clones except with mostly hacked games.

[shoggoth80]

These threads are always fun!  Dunno why, I just like pirate hardware.
My Penguin clone:


My MicroGenius


I've got a Power Joy III, but everyone knows what they look like, and it's not the best designed clone. 
I also have a Retro-Duo, since that is still a clone... Lol.

[NintendoKing]

Aren't Penguin famiclones the coolest?! I mean it's eye glow evil red when you jam a cartridge in it's back and violently punch it in the beak... Lol.

-Lol Gremlin! You crack me up man.

I like the Penguin clone because it doesn't take up much space real estate! It also functions pretty well with most games that I have tossed in it. And I got it for a few bucks at a St. Vinny's. 

[Appleidog]

PS3 is FunStation? If I remember PS1 was also FunStation or something like it.

Weird, naming all the same. Did they?

Yeah I have the PS1 Funstation, Has the box art of a N64.

I'm also looking for a Penguin famiclone
