Great job on the NES starting guide. It was very interesting to read. Didn't even know there were so many variations and clones of the NES.

haha no kidding. when it comes to clones of the Famicom (which coined the term Famiclones) there's really no limit to the number of variants out there. There are Famiclones shaped and designed after nearly every system under the sun from ones that look like a Sega Genesis, original Xbox, even PS3!

Take a look over this article that lists just some of the known Famiclones, most of which I didn't mention.

Finally a new review!

Here's Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360. Ninja games are still awesome.

Here's something I've been putting off doing for a while now. Here's my Retro Duo Video review! Come explore the ins and outs of this fine Famiclone/SNES.

What's crazy is the Famiclone that I have, the Family Entertainment System, isn't on this list either. Attack of the Clones....

There are thousands (tens of thousands?) of Famiclones out there from places all over the world. It would be nearly impossible to compile a database covering them all. Some were sold in former soviet nations where Nintendo did not do business in, there are ones that came from Thailand, the Philippines, China, Korea and many other nations. Since the design patients expired in 2003/2005, Famiclone production hasn't decreased but probably increased. There are probably more Famiclones in existence than there are real Famicoms.  Now that I think about it, I've got at least two other Famicoms in my own possession that I didn't cover in the NES/Famicom starting guide. There are simply too many to name.

Hey guys, been a while since I posted a review so I tried to pick something awesome as an apology for the wait. Returning to an oldschool style of gameplay in Ikari Warriors, this is now one of my favorite DS games.

Little Red Ridinghood's Zombie BBQ Review (DS)

Not only does it have everything from the Virtual Console version, it has the complete After Years that was on Wiiware, and this version looks better and has even more content. Also, it's cheaper than buying FFIV+the after years fro Wii! This is the ultimate version.

OK, this forces me to buy this game and finally the PSP3000.
Got the old fat one but it doesn't connect to TV.

Sorry this I meant with Virtual Console.
