At least two possibilities: NTDec (which also made Fenix console - also popular in Poland but I don't think sold by Bobmark) or Dar Yar (they made DY-656 and DY-750). It's hard to trace the manufacturer - there were so many clones, clones of clones, "distributors" etc.
Pegasus Gameboy was an unlicensed clone. Fully compatible and almost identical to the original (the only difference is the lack of game link port and it has no power led). It's extremely rare and almost impossible to find/buy.
Yes, I think so. BobMark did a good job selecting a supplier and spent a lot of money on packaging, promotions etc. and it was worth it - they made fortunes on it :)
Yes - it's almost hard to believe Nintendo never really did anything about it. These clones were very popular in Eastern Europe but also in South America. I guess by 1990s Nintendo didn't rally care about NES/Famicom.
Awesome video! In Spain we had NES clones running around, the most popular called...NASA.
That's a great name! :)
Your voice is so calming and reassuring that it makes the video even more beautiful to watch.
Great video
Thanks!
Really nice!
Thanks!
Great video! You mentioned speculation regarding the manufacturer of the MT-777DX. Can you write more here? What companies are considered?

Nice video, I liked the photos/movies from the 90s especially :) Have you ever heard about "Pegasus Gameboy"? Was it a licensed clone, or a ripoff?

The Pegasus was a far more elegant famiclone than the famiclones sold in Russia.

I've never really wanted a NES, but these are so cool, such blatant rip offs, love it. 😄 great little story behind them too 👍
