Those two are both made by Ending Man company, hence the similarities in look ;)

What is on that Jackie Chan cartridge?  >:(

Here are my clones:


This is Japanese clone (too bad it don't work and it never worked, i was stupid and connected it on PAL adapter!!)


SMD2 clone, had some built in games, but now it's not working, with original sega controllers, i was dumb when bought them on ebay, though they will work on the clone...)


Terminator 2 clone, maybe my favorite console (it has modified adapter which is unable to unplug, but also it's not working)


That's PS type clone , with built in games, it's like polystation, i bought it 2009. on the fair in the town next to mine


Micro genius console, it's good console, but nothing special and beside is PS one console...

  Here is something I got a while back, I do not know much about it except...

 It has no company name or model number on it that I can find. The plastic is soft and has a gel like feel to it but the keys are hard and feel of good quality and are sensitive. Looking inside there is a part of the outer case that looks cut out by hand with a knife, some of its insides are held together with hot glue, and after its used it smells like Action 52. I last used it 4 weeks ago and it still smells like burnt plastic but works fine. Theres a small red light on the top that indicates the power is on. It was supposedly found at a Goodwill in Maryland

That keyboard clone looks pretty cool!  With the smelling thing, I have a few Sachen games that smell funky after being played.

the Jackie Chan cart has some english educational games,
musical shooters (press the letter you see on the balloon to pop it), and some pixeldrawing-programme
where you can make images with different tiles.
it's been a while since i played it so i don't really remember anything special about it.

my very first clone was a polystation lookalike,
similar to your "super video game" console.
it had tons of games built in,
and i had fun with those for years,
i didn't have any extra carts,
but the games on it were pretty good.
the power rangers games that were on it were awesome ;)
it took more than 10 years before i got another clone,
with some multicarts,
but that first one kicked arse.
ith was called "game station" i believe.

better shots of the BBK (Bu Bu Gao) Voice 2,
nice bit of kit, with parallel port.

it's pretty good depending on your tv,
i have a CRT with AV input on the side and SCART in the back,
video and audio are significantly better through the SCART than the AV on the side.

Interesting - fancy taking a sharp snap?  Are the colours pretty spot on?

unfortunately i don't have the gear for good shots,
all i have at my disposal is my phone and the ol' CRT i use for gaming.
at the risk of coming across as terribly outdated and ill-equipped, i will post some pics of what my AV modded Famicom looks like, and what the BBK looks like on my TV (in roughly the same area of the game).
i hope they are clear enough.
first two pics is the AV modded Famicom,
3d and 4th are the BBK.
i'd say the colours are a tiny bit darker on the Famicom,
and have a bit more warmth/depth,
although i quite like the crisp bright video of the BBK,
which surprisingly has less jagged edges on textures and edges.
both have very faint jailbars, that don't even show on the pics,
and i think they are caused mostly by the cables i use.

I've mentioned before how much I like the "Tabletop Famicom", despite the inverted buttons.  But of all the Famiclone consoles I've come across, this one is my absolute favorite.  It looks VERY nice when hooked to a TV *and* the built-in screen is fantastic.  Games with tiny projectiles (Star Force, for example) can be a bit more challenging on the screen, but the games still look wonderful.
