Long time no login to Famicom World. Hi guys!  :bub:

I just had to share this with you. I recently happened upon a boxed famiclone that is the same as my old famiclone that I played as a kid in the early 90's. These Family Game clones are actually pretty decent clones, and if I remember correctly a member on this forum even made one work with the FDS. These clones were serious competitors with the NES here in Iceland, and the retailer was actually threatened with a lawsuit if he didn't cease selling them. I don't know how many were sold but I'm guessing they were less than 1000, and now almost 20 years later they hardly turn up anymore. So I was super stoked to find this one still in the box, manual, cartridge and everything with it   :star:

I'm just so happy that I found this I had to share it with some people that would appreciate it in the same way I do, so here come some pics  ;D


The box in all it's glory! (although it's a bit worn)

The box opened.


The famiclone is actually quite similar to the Famicom in terms of looks. Some of the styrofoam packaging has fused with the gamepad cables after a long time in storage.


21-in-1 that comes with the clone.


A closer look of the gamepads. No microphone, but they have turbo!  :gamer:


Expansion port.

Can't wait to see if it works!  :D
