Yes. In Spain there were 2 or 3 of them. I played one called Nasa that came with like 100 games. One of them was contra.

Im still wandering how they managed to insert so many games in an age where hd capacities were so low

Btw: thats a 16 bit console and a nes is 8 bit one. That looks like a genesis clone.

That one would be a Genesis clone. I don't recall clones of consoles in the US because of patent laws getting enforced. I really shouldn't be surprised as bootlegging everything is the norm. I do recall indie games showing up here and there that weren't licensed by Sega or Nintendo, though you certainly didn't find them on shelves of major stores.

Wish I had a blogger or other site to share. My brother has a huge collection he put together while he was going to school, so really haven't needed to check anything on the Internet unless we're tracking values of items sold on Ebay and such.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
