Famiclones

So, 133mhz, after a quick search on ebay, I see that the Panic Restaurant nes game you have pictured is kinda expensive ($115 US +). I have never heard of it before, but youtube gameplay vids make it look interesting. Did you get a good deal when you purchased it?

[133MHz]

I had no idea it was so expensive . I've owned it since I was a kid, it's a really fun game .

[ericj]

Guess it's a nice surprise, then! 
You say below that it is a 'random NES cart', and after looking it up and seeing it's fairly pricey, I thought you were just being funny when you said that. 

[133MHz]

Well it was a random NES cart for me since I just took the cart that happened to be at the top of my NES cart stack for taking the picture, not caring what game it was. But yeah, it looks just like if I did it on purpose for bragging points XD.

133Mhz, that's a sweet looking NES look a like clone you got there, with a nice Mobo...For its zise, it reminds me of the Generation NEX clone..
Although, as we all know by now, the NEX is pretty much a piece of junk....But it does indeed plays both NES & FC carts....





On a side sad story, I once had a Chilean roommate at college, nice fellow as I remember.....Unfortunately, he felt madly in love with some chick, that ultimately ended his career and back to his homeland....She wasn't very cure either....

Ugh. The Generation Nex was my first foray into owning a machine capable of playing Famicom games. And yes I use the term "capable" and "playing" rather lightly here as half the games I tried to play wouldn't work right on the stupid thing. Well at least I knew that would be the case going into it. I traded some games to a friend for this... tumor... and eventually sold it on Amazon once I had the real deal. Funny, the person who bought it sent me several emails asking about it's "features"... Like, why is it impossible to get the cartridge back out again. That sort of thing. He left me positive feedback, all the while noting the crappiness of the purchased item. Can't say I blame him, but... that's why you should always research the thing you're buying.

[ooXxXoo]

  Yup, you literally have to fight with the machine in order to get those games out..Although, some people seem to think that  they are a bit rare now adays, since Messiah went out of business, but for the price, I'd rather buy the real deal instead....

[Tupin]

Yeah, Messiah seemed to just cease to exist overnight...

I almost bought one at one point, but $60 seemed too much. More Famiclones need to have both slots on them, at least they did something right.

[ooXxXoo]

I wanted to go a bit more with modern "High Tech" and got the Vii ....PURE cheap ass overseas NOAC technology at its best.....

[Tupin]

Yeah, it doesn't get more poorly made and have more wasted space in it than the Vii. I would be surprised if it actually withstands several uses of the cartridge slot.

I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it.

Vii: Your sports games
Let's do it together...

^^Poor attempt at Wii slogan.^^

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

133Mhz, you see any more of those mini-nes clones? I just GOTTA HAVE ONE!

That thing is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

[nintendodork]

The Cyberboy looks pretty cool.
And lol at the Harry Potter PSX clone.  That Family Video Game light gun looks pretty awesome!  It can be just a pistol or it can be an AK-47

[shoggoth80]

Wow some swanky looking clones guys!
The Messiah NEX is one that I should have bought back when they were easier to come across. Might just be the standard NOAC, but having both slots is convenient.

133MHz, that's a cool little NES clone you dug up.

I found an NEX yesterday for $60. I was planning on picking one up but you can get an original NES for around that price. My brother bought an NEX a couple years ago, I can't remember what he paid for it but it definitely wasn't that much.
