Title: Dendy Junior 3
Post by: Oreanor on May 05, 2011, 12:49:07 am
Does anybody familiar with this famiclone?
It was probably bought in Poland or Litva in 1996-1997.
It's definitely not a Steepler Dendy Junior, because Steepler did not produce consoles in 1996.
Maybe somebody has some information about its origin and how it is related to Dendy?

It's very nice, and according to the writing, it's for Poland market.
The gun is perfect - very Famicom-ish! But I doubt the console is a full hardware clone, most likely only a glob-top NOAC.
My guess is that this is a chinese pirated pirate, they copied the Dendy name to atract people familiar with the Dendy brand.

yes, it's possible, but there is one strange thing - Dendy has produced Dendy Junior IVP later.
Why they gave it number four, if this console was a fake?
I never saw any other DJ3.

Isn't Dendy a russian brand? I remember talking to some dude from russia and he was like "NES? Oh, you mean Dendy.".

Yes it was. Dendy was the NES of Mother Russia. I have some friends from Russia that grew up with it.
