Pirate consoles/clones database

by

Big database of pirate consoles/clones launched. Someone is trying to organize the info that hangs around the web. In some countries only the pirate consoles were available. The number of those clones are huge.

Link: https://uc.pory.app/

If you looking for some clone, now the info might be found there.

Clones were quite different, some were as good quality as originals, some had issues.

The shapes of Famiclones(NES-clones) were in all of the kinds. Many mimic higher generations. You can find a famiclone as Sega, SNES, Playstation, Wii and so on.

Below some examples of famiclones:

VGM music covers by Vladimir Chaplinsky

by

Felix The Cat NES seems has almost no music covers at all. The game is not well known I guess. It’s an easy game, and if you want to introduce NES to a kid that could be a good choice for 1 player game, tho the controls could be tricky at first.

Batman NES is you typical hard rock cover. Done in good clean quality.

The Transilvania theme from Quackshot Starring Donald Duck SEGA Genesis is something avantgarde, with dissonant notes. It also reminds weirdness from other Transilvania themes(like Duck Tales 2 NES)

35 years anniversary!

by

The Guardian Legend celebrating 35 years today. Great multi-genre NES/Famicom game. Explore the overworld in Legend of Zelda like style and then transform into fighter jet and blast through corridors in style of Zanac.

Was crazy fun back then. Finding new weapon and trying and then upgrading and trying again was so interesting!

Unfortunately the game did not had success it deserved. Probably due to bad marketing. So there was no sequel developed by Compile. There is a fan made sequel for windows only – Shadow of Naju. Worth to try.

Astro Ninja Man music

by

The music from the homebrew Astro Ninja Man is really good. It took inspiration from various games vibes 8-16 bit. I suppose it is made on Recca Summer Carnival 92 engine. You may hear Alien 3, Gyruss, Darkman, Silver Surfer, Legend of Kage, Super Spy Hunter, Recca(obviously) as well as 16 bits Streets of Rage and Batman influences and many more.

This recorded directly from the console.

Underneath the map

by

Long ago I did show little bit of the area underneath the map. That area is not random unlike all the other directions out of the map.

Here is some footage of that. I recommend watch it on youtube and click timecodes, where I picked some highlights. Mostly nothing interesting happens there 🙂

The switch of the area types happens only when you go in and out of portal doors. That would require too much time to try test every cell to figure out if the area types match the main map. That also means, if you walk into other area without entering a door then it will not change and stay the same.
