Given that the controllers are not equipped to play Xbox games, I think it's more likely to be a famiclone that happens to be shaped like an Xbox. I'm not sure if that's what you meant or not.

Galeforcerm Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It's not even close to being shaped like an xbox. I too am guessing it's a famiclone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Whatever man.. whether it's a Famiclone or an Xbox 1 clone you're living in the past. It's time to step into the present with the 360! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 XGAME SUCK ASS!! MICR0$IFT ARE LOSERS. POLYSTATION RULES!!!!!!!! P.S. Yes I'm pretty sure it's been discussed before as these things (and many more like them) have been around for over a decade, I picked up a couple myself around 6 years ago from a flea market. Kinda fun if a little kooky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants to unload similar crap cheap let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that was a little too tongue in cheek. No, I wasn't under the illusion that a $12 device would actually play Xbox games. Probably a POS NOAC device playing Genesis roms.

Austin Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'd buy one if I could get it at the wholesale price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper_Eye Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Some of these clones are actually good substitutes for an NES and they are legal. I have a couple of real systems but we all know what the cartridge slots are like. I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/FC-Famicom-NES-Nintendo-Console-Loading/dp/B0009AHCQ6 The sound is not prefect but it is really close and cartridges work on it the first time every time. I have tried all my peripherals with it including the light gun, the arcade stick, and the track pad. They all work. Obviously the clones that are trying to play off of other systems names are goofy but there are some clones that are actually good daily gamers. The same company makes this system that plays both NES and SNES carts: http://www.amazon.com/Twin-Video-Game-System-Super-Nintendo/dp/B0019X5NOA/ref=dp_cp_ob_vg_title_3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2069 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 someone has a page with a crapload of famiclones http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/famiclones.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 someone has a page with a crapload of famiclones http://ultimateconso.../famiclones.htm Just fantastic! There's a real art to making this crap, not just anyone can do it. I would have never conceptualized a console that plays Famicom games on something that looks like a Genesis 2 with controllers that look like SNES controllers and then slap the name "PLaystation" on it!

A_Locomotive Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My local retro store has a knock off system on display, can't remember exactly what it was but it was a game boy knock off(of an advance I think). I asked about it once and why they had it and they said it wasn't for sale or anything they just kept it because it was hilariously shit. They let me read the manual and it was comedy gold filled with engrish and over the top exaggerations of its power and in several cases flat out lies right in the manual about its magical abilities.

jhd Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Are these things still being sold new? I would have thought that the market for Famiclones has been completely saturated several times over by now. Unfortunately, the only type that I've ever seen around here is the PowerJoy -- shaped like an N64 controller -- and even those are surprisingly rare.

Desfeek Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B002YZPFG8 WHOA. It's like a cart based, 360Wii. ITS FREAKIN' COMPLETE. Edit: I spy a game called 'Pro Crack'. Though that game probably isn't as good as 'Lawn Purge'.
