New research article! "Cut into the Number of Famiclones Produced - Case #2: Dar Yar" How many famiclones have ever been produced? The second article of the series cutting into the mystery focuses on another major supplier in Taiwan: Dar Yar. unauthorizon.blogspot.com/2023/11/cut-in…
Hey #retrogames , any game collectors or historians want to chat with me about #NDS #homebrew ?
Who said Subor was just for kids?
Famiclones making their way into the Toy Story universe
Foxxcon, nowadays known as official factory for Sony and Nintendo consoles, was once a part of bootleg famiclone world. Furthermore, Sharp, the company officially produced the Twin Famicom in the 80s, is now under their jurisdiction. Who expected this future?
Greek Pokemon kids used to get GLK-2001 edu-famiclone for free when you complete this sticker album. Sounds cool?

I'm always a sucker for old famiclones. This is called a Lika KL-235, similar to a Dendy. Originally it had a light gun for it, but I had to throw it out because the TSA stopped me and called the Feds on my ass over a toy gun. @BootlegConsoles
