used to have one, but what is the point of bootleg NES when I can play them with my Wii flawlessly? :ROFL:
seriously tho. Most of them are just NES rebrands. maybe you get some other, exclusive 8-bit games. Which is worse, because they suck! at least bootleg NES games with changed sprites are still playable.

My mistake, the question was supposed to be "did you", apologies
The Okama Gamesphere, only plays Heroin Hero though...
it does now
No, I'd rather homebrew an actual device or keep things standardized (using a compute board with usb/bluetooth controllers) than buy a all in one solution.
yes, well i was a kid and my parents got me this one. the vtech socrates
If that counts then had a few of them when I was younger.
Had a great time. Maybe not the best versions of any given game but more than enough to kill some time during a car trip or an evening.
Otherwise yeah going to have to figure out what is what here as far as off brand.
Clone console that plays the original games (ish -- some of the all in one NES stuff was less than stellar) vs emulation based clone console vs something like the GP32 family that actually did some good stuff (I will also include the lesser known "open source" stuff that descended from it) vs tourist trap pocket money rinser vs failed android system vs something like the jakks pacific we have 10 atari classics you can connect to your TV vs ... all play out rather differently from where I sit.
As a general rule I would want it to have some compelling reason, and a compelling reason in the face of emulation which has been pretty sweet since the original xbox and even better now a core2 laptop I can plug in goes for pennies and we have things like the raspberry pi. Though I might buy something if it is £3 in a charity shop/car boot sale/yard sale... if it is suitable to the shelf of cool stuff "look at this failure" wing (and also the only way I will ever buy something from atgames).

Like FAST, I owned a few different cheapo multisystem portables back in the day, Hasbro and the like. Also a Tamogachi and an original Digimon keychain, not sure if those count though. Only thing I own now that might qualify is the Oregon Trail handheld from Target.

I bought a KongFeng GB Boy Colour, just to have one. And besides the god-awful screen aspect ratio, cheap plastic, and shitty screen's sub-pixels being of the triad arrangement... Oh who am I kidding, it's a trash Gameboy clone... But it comes pretty close to mimicking actual hardware, I have to give credit where credit is due.
This is just a stock photo, but it's the same blue one that I bought.

I bought a NES-on-a-chip clone, not that many years ago, mostly so I could play some duck hunt while we were still using the big ol' CRT that came with the house.
It looked like this:

Apart from a few handheld and micro arcade thingys that didn't last long, I really want a Segtendo Super Mega Fami System Drive Cube Station Box 64 Geo. They're awesome!
...I think you mean something like this?
And they apparently just had their business license suspended:
Does my c64 mini or open pandora handheld count?
Lmao.... That'll be the one!

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
