Early 90s, Poland. My cousin and I just discovered video gaming on a Famiclone console called Batman that can handle NES cartridges. Many hours were spent on this knock off but it changed our life and provided us with so much entertainment

In the off chance that someone has one of these lying around, and you are willing to part with it…please reach out, I would love to blow my cousins mind with this. I’d be happy to compensate.
Whether it’s an official console, clone, knockoff, etc. EVERYONE suffered the same fate of having your mouth cheeks hurt from blowing too hard at the NES cartridge attempting to make it boot up lol
As someone who also grew up playing on weird, salvaged tech and games on floppies that my dad’s cousin (I suspect) pirated for us, I know the feeling.
South African checking in. Everyone had a different famiclone. Mine looked like a seeds megadrive et blue buttons
I find it absolutely hilarious that they named this thing “Batman”. I wonder what the thought process there was. “Hey Batman is cool. Kid’s want things that are cool. LETS CALL IT BATMAN!”
“What are you? an NES? an famicom?”
“I’m BATMAN”
It’s kinda sad btw. I remember now, as kids in a third world country. We could only get knockoffs
NES, SNES… Both had tons of knockoffs but they didn’t feel any different. Also, pirated games I assume.
I guess Nintendo lost a ton of money but they gained millions of fans. Even my Asian Grandma knows about Mario because she played it on that knockoff.
Nowadays it would be way harder for some parents to afford their kids a gaming system
Super Megason
I had a MicroGenius! Gotta love those 64-in-1 cartridges.
