Bootleg Stuff

[Kosheh]

This is a Dendy, it's a knock-off of the NES/Famicom of Russian origin, it plays what can pretty much be called a game library of bootleg awfulness.

Hey, don't talk shit about Dendy ):

When you're able to market a bootleg product SO WELL that you basically pull the wool over the nation's eyes over its roots as a Famiclone, with its own brand-store, magazine, and TV show is actually impressive lol
I mean, Dendy was so huge that most people NOW who moved visit the States from Russia usually confuse the heck out of game store owners until they look up what exactly the deal with the Dendy was.

(though they made a contract with Nintendo and started selling legitimate hardware eventually - and the games too. But they new hardware cost SO MUCH compared to bootleg ones that the company went belly-up under its own weight lmao. Dendy also sold the 3DO, which...would probably explain a lot. like a really lot)
