Haha oh wow. This was me in Poland as well. My console had 10000 games in it because it had random rom hacks included. I only finished Contra when I was a kid because of the hack that gave you spread shot by default and 99 lives.
This looks exactly like my experience in Poland in 1990’s. That was my internet. Loved the 999 games cartridges with 5 different games and lots of modded versions.
Brings back big nostalgia for me. As a kid I would visit an East London market with my mum and go straight to the bootleg Mega Drive and SNES stall. The guy had everything. I mean everything.
A misconception in recent years that original games back then were not so easy to clone. I can tell you that is very much bullshit, lol. I was playing every major Mega Drive and SNES game some weeks to months before they even released over here.
I used to hate flea markets as a kid until I realized you could find old NES or SNES games there and maybe even haggle the price down. Then it was a treasure hunt!
It’s funny, the “look” when looking at games hasn’t changed. We all know how we are when others are looking at games and we are next to them. Hands in pockets, bent over scanning the labels to see which he had played and which he haven’t. Same look I see in this photo lol
this was me in the early 2000s, then I’ve got a PC and it felt like I jumped into the future
this is Russia
Is this the Dendy?

It looks like it’s just Pokemon yellow as your choice which I support wholeheartedly
I find looking at the cartridges weirdly nostalgic, must be one of those childhood amnesia moments
9999 games in 1

Eastern Europe, I guess 🙂
The good old days in Eastern Europe, when bootleg games used to cost 1/4 of the average monthly salary.
Look like Romania 1990.
Ahh, good memories.
It’s not fog in the background, it’s
It’s
It’s _Steam_
Ah, good old childhood days in Eastern Europe.
Price of this cartridges was so high at that time, my family cant afford to buy for me additional one, long time after i got a dendy console.
Only way to get new one – rent/exchange with friends.
These games are for NES clones like Dandy and Hamy games, or for example the GSD-1988 [https://youtu.be/ZpJlhHATPJo](https://youtu.be/GSCEjh9sDN4)
which even had a mouse!

The good times
you pick one and play it thoroughly regardless of whatever quality it is. and probably don’t know any better but still have fun
When “Just blow on it” meant something entirely different
I have experienced this in 90s. Such a great memory.
My first scam experience
Wait a minute it’s Russia?
In second grade I won 4th place in a drawing competition and the reward was 10 leva. My mom let me use them to buy a new cartridge.
Best. Time. Ever.

Only 90s Soviet satellite state kids will understand

Oh my god that’s my childhood from the early 2000’s
