My reviews on 2 NES Clones and plus Generation NEX

[Lacan]

Neo Fami/FC Console USA Version: It can play almost all of my NES games all but 3 of them which are bad dudes, Castlevania III and Megaman III.

 

Audio: Sounds okay, but its far from perfect.

 

Graphics: Crisp, colorful, etc, except for one problem it has those artifact lines like from the NES 2 Top Loader, but not as bad. Zelda 1 is perfect though with no errors.

 

Ease of use: Had some hard time getting some games to work, but after some cleaning and blowing I manage to get them to work.

 

Rating: 6.5

 

Family Boy Vol 4 USA Version: It can play all of my NES games but Castlevania III, it plays Bad Dudes and Megaman III great though.

 

Audio: Almost NES perfect.

 

Graphics, Crisp, colorful, and this time no artifact lines, however the graphics are darker. Also uses correct colors in graphics, except for the wierdness in Zelda 1.

 

Ease of Use: Harder then Neo Fami USA Version, since I have to use a converter that came with it. Its kinda hard to get some games to work, but once they work they work great.

 

Rating: 8.5

 

Next system I'm going to review in November if I can: Messiah Generation Nex, that is said to be the ultimate NES Clone and rumored to be better then a real NES.

 

Some my guess if I can find out soon is this:

 

1st place might be: Generation Nex

 

1.5 Place: Real Nintendo NES Thats the original version

 

2nd Place: Family Boy Vol 4 USA version.

 

3rd Place: Neo Fami/FC Console USA version

 

4th Place: Real Nintendo NES 2 thats the top loader version with lame RF and horrible lines in graphics.

Btw I tried out some of those 7 games that game with Family Boy and they aren't from any NES game I heard of. So they could be custom made for the Family Boy instead.

bump... Judges, may I have the envelope...

 

prediction.... I can't believe this! the underdog, Yobo takes the crown!

So are there any Famiclones that can play Castlevania III? I think instead of wasting my money on one of these machines, I'll just put in a little more work cleaning my crappy toaster NES.
