    When I was a kid my grandpa bought me one of these for Christmas (Circa 2009) from a grocery store. This little bootleg console was one of the first ways that I had experienced a lot of retro NES games. A friend and I even managed to beat Contra with these terrible controllers. I sadly have genuine nostalgia for this exact unit 😂

    Let me just say this.... If I saw this "all in one" system with two controllers, one of which looks like an N64 controller, one Genesis controller AND it also comes with a gun.... when I was a kid in the late 90s... it literally wouldn't even matter what games that it had. This would be the greatest thing I'd ever seen.

    The original one (which said 76 in 1. And had music in the background)
    You had the final one which was slightly improved with the cartridge and had no letters next to the title.
    And some came with PAC-MAN and some came with mappy with a Nuts sprite (from nuts and milk) in the place. So me living in NYC this was everywhere and only $20 on 14th Street. And it was like hoping for PAC man or not. I owe it to this console it helped get me through my parents divorcing as a child. Great video btw

    I had a very similar Famiclone system as a kid which they sold through local catalogues but instead of a second MegaDrive style controller mine had its own unique shape whereas the N64 style main controller lacked the fake analogue stick and had a silver colour.
    Also the C buttons were in their actual position.
    The games were basically taken from the black box series i.E. Pinball and some lesser known ones like Battle City.

    It's so cool to see you review this! I bought the same exact Power Player at a Goodwill a few years back (except mine has black controllers) and I have another Power Player whose main controllers were a ripoff of the Sega Dreamcast and a sort of Super Nintendo-esque controller with standard controller grips. The Dreamcast one seems to be an older model judging by the box design and the fact it advertises 128-in-1 games rather than 76,000 (even though I'm pretty sure it most likely contains the same games. I never tested out the Dreamcast model due to the power supply box being partially cracked open and I don't wanna take any chances. This N64 Power Player though, I've just been lazy to test out, but after watching the video, I feel a bit inspired to take some time and plug everything in and check the console out for myself.

At the time I didn't know they were NES games but I had only just realized it into my teen years that they were LOL. This thing brought me hours of fun! My parents had also bought my oldest sister a soccer game and my younger sister a knock off DDR pad (that had licenced 16 bit music on it lmao) all from the same kiosk that was in the mall. Seeing this video brings me back SOOO many good memories I still have my Super Joy III set today and it still works just like it did back in 2003/2004.

    I bought one of these from a local flee market about 12 years ago. Didnt care much for the preloaded games, but I loved playing all my famicom games on it!

    I had one of these as a kid. Pretty sure this and the Sonic Mega Collection introduced me to retro games.

    I actually bought one of these way back in the late 90's or early 2000's, I can't remember. I saw this at a mall kiosk and was baffled how this worked and had all the games built in. Fast forward to today, I still have it and it still works...

    It came with a flash gun and you "don't have the patience to break out the CRT" to fully use it's features. I had one, it was red and the gun was black with brown grips. I played Wild Gunman all the time, and loved it. Our small CRT TV was actually placed at chest height normally, so it worked out quite well for me when playing it.

    I had this growing up, but weirdly enough, my version only had 76 games, not 76000
    After watching your video, it looks like it was just like your version, but without the duplicates.
    Loved the darned thing.

    My grandparents got me this one on that same color, funny enough this is how I first got to play Duck Hunt, I did have some fun with it until I got a Wii.

    Had one of these way way back in Red color. Always wanted to try out the battery power pack and see how long it would've gone for.

  • @skins4thewin
    @skins4thewin ปีที่แล้ว

    One cool fact about this thing is it can be powered by batteries! It has a little holster in the expansion pak slot where you can insert AA batteries to power the device. If you have some sort of external display it makes for a decent way to test games on the go. Great for scalping enthusiasts on the run lol.

    I had one of these and if you scroll far enough you get some crazy romhacks.
    I played some version of super Mario Bros where Bowser was flying through the screen and you were swimming but you were on land, it was super crazy.

    (16:46) Those game ideas made me laugh in my mind!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    (17:04) I was picturing a mix of 'Tetris' and 'World of Goo'.
    Thanks for making this video! As a teen, there was a "3Stars" shop at an outdoor shopping mall in the neighbourhood I lived in at the time, that sold cheap and off-brand household products, and right at the (wide) entrance, on the opposite end to the cashier counter, there sat a few Power Player boxes, and one set up and connected to a small 14" CRT TV. At the time, I didn't realise it was a knockoff of the Nintendo 64 and Mega Drive controllers, as I hadn't yet seen photos of what an actual N64 looked like. I also didn't realise that the weird slot was a Famicom game cartridge slot, likely only designed with bootleg cartridges in mind, and I was a very different person back then, to the point where NES game graphics in some games used to creep me out.

    I remember my parents bought me and my siblings one of these from a mall kiosk back in the early 00's. Despite having a Gamecube at the time, we loved this thing until the day it died. Thinking about it, I can safely say I credit this thing for having inspired my love of retro gaming

    That's take me back when Romeo my cousin had that in the 8th Grade at Davis Middle School in Bessemer, Alabama and AJ had that too when he started Kindergarten at Elementary School in Bessemer, Alabama during the 2005-2006 season. While I had Extra Controllers for the GameCube, Memory Card, True Crime NYC, didn't had DOR 2 until Early February 2006.

    8:33 - Oddly enough, I like the sound of this unofficial soundchip. It’s like an alternate soundfont that might be less grating than the original/correct one.

    @thatt_nigguhmarkww7248 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had this thing when I was younger because it had so many old unlicensed classic games on it . I played it like a regular console so much the wire would make the controller start to smell like burning plastic ( I can still remember the distinct smell just by looking at the controller and the ports ) I had to replace it with a couple different AC adapter wires but the console would usually end up burning because it had no builtin fan
