The Famous Dendy Retro Game Console - I Found One In 2023 👌

[@lightgungamerru1963]

In Russia in the early nineties, the dendy sold very well. Moreover, it was advertised on TV and presented as an original licensed set-top box. We didn't know then that it was a pirate clone of the NES. Outwardly, she looked like a famicom. There were a lot of pirate games, including Mortal Kombat, and we also didn't know that these were pirate games. Some games were impassable due to incorrect copying or hacking, there were cartridges with 99999999 identical games.

[@alexismazzanti6929]

In argentina we had lots of famiclones that looked like a megadrive 2 or thereabouts, including called "the terminator", also called "the ending man" in other countries

[@ps-lover8380]

In India we have Terminator 2 ending man

[@SerdceDanko]

Thats not real Dendy, just google how Dendy Classic and Junior boxes looked like. Also it didn't look like Mega Drive. You just bought a random modern 8-bit clone.

[@spetcnaz83]

Yup, he got duped unfortunately.

[@RXHMND]

Shit, that exact console was my first ever

[@ZeroWind2014]

Isn't most bootlegs will rip off other consoles?

[@SerdceDanko]

@@ZeroWind2014 Only new ones. Classic clones either copied originals or had their own designs, i even had one famiclone made in the form of sport car.

[@ZeroWind2014]

Huh, how many shapes will new famiclones will take now?

[@E96]

Magic Jewelry (tetris) is one of my favorite games of all time. I loved it. Such a nostalgic feeling. I loved Dendy.

[@Mchenrygames]

Cool find. I would say a "modern" (20+ yrr old) Dendy. A time where there were still some quality standards.

[@Marcelocostache]

There was a copy of this console in Eastern Europe in the 90’s call The Terminator it looks so similar 😅.

[@Vadermods]

can easily be made into a different console all together by replacing whats there, its the perfect place for someone who wants to learn how to mod to start!

[@bernardIwens]

The package from …..

[@bernardIwens]

CHINNNNNAAAAAA

[@matthiash3136]

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Heeeey .. yeah awesome you are tuning in 😁 I was thinking maybe there was a part you could let go from 😂 I forgive you 🤣

[@jimbotron70]

I'm waiting for the Polystation review now 😄

[@WickedGamerCollector]

[@SegaMD2]

[@retroman--]

That's one cool gun

[@bernardIwens]

Dat pistool is een beetje cheap denk ik

[@JustPeasant]

Dendy famiclones were made in Taiwan for the Russian & east European market. Usually in the form of Mega Drive 2 (Asian variant). They're still more prevalent in Eastern Europe than the actual Sega Mega Drive II. Majority of folks here can't tell a difference between Dendy and Genuine Mega Drive II. On-line auctions, they're sold as "Sega console" name. If in the box, the yellow cart is included, proof positive that "Sega console" is a Famiclone✔️

[@spetcnaz83]

The original Dendys did not look like Megadrives. They resembled the Japanese NES more.

[@JustPeasant]

@@spetcnaz83 Hmm... in former Yugoslav countries, Mega Drive 2 (Asians market version) case had Dendy brand on them, too. So, a Famiclone were sold under this brand, and then there are Mega Drive 2 case sold under a Dendy brand too. Knock off-of a knock-off!😄 Some Dendy devices were assembled in Russia, as well (in Dubna - Дубна́) by Tensor (Тенсор?). By that time, there were Famiclones sold as Kenga, Bitman (Lamport). After that it became a jungle, like the world of Pandora's (Pandora) Box. A JAMMA arcade boards clones from mainland China😵‍💫

[@KenSch2020]

It is a Famicom clone but it looks like a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive 2. I think if they were going to make it a 8-bit system at least make it a Master System

[@michaeladams9807]

😮 👍👍

[@Piglet6256]

Wicked, why does the pcb on the top seems to have molten cheese on it??

[@WickedGamerCollector]

That was the way how they made these thing in 2001. Now we have better looking hotglue .. back then they didn't 🤪

[@mariar.9868]

Hi, I can't make Pokemon work on the X6 Console. All I get is a white screen. On the PC emulator VisualBoyAdvance I must change the Save type to Flash 128K (it's on Flash 64K by default) and that fixes it but idk how to do it in a console. Could you help, please? You are the expert. Thanks!

[@ArtanJozefi-gb5ug]

Link where i can fin to bay this production please thanks

[@WickedGamerCollector]

This is really old so can't not be found on ali-express for example 😳

[@amazingboi_1348]

it did look like Genesis 2

[@lasskinn474]

is a pirate dendy though? edit: is the actual system chip a blob or a pin package? (under the pcb?)

[@3vi1J]

Yeah - that's what I would have liked to have seen. I'll bet there's a epoxy blob on the underside of the board holding the cartridge port doing the heavy lifting, because all we see on this side of the boards are simple discrete electronics.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

So that is the Dendy I've heard about it but I've never seen one. Good review and cool video Wicked!👉😃👈

[@slipstream182]

There were two “official versions”: Dendy Classic and Dendy Junior. Both made on Taiwan. The later one was an affordable version, but, interestingly enough, had better quality hardware. There were plans to make a third version called Pro. A small batch of working examples was made. However, it turned out to be too expensive for the majority, and the plans for mass production were scrapped. The one in this video is a bootleg of the bootleg ))) Sorry, bro.

[@Klaus_Schwab_777]

Lol this not Real Dendy.Dendy look like famicom .I have one, bundle with Chip And Dale 2 when i was little kid in 90s.And they was good quality but only "Dendy "branded,the later Chinese brands start shitting clones ,they was awful.

[@nit3h8wk81]

I have nothing against 8 bit consoles but I dislike that they model it after a 16 bit and others that try to model after other consoles it just seems a bit misleading.

[@zockeromi1970]

Weird thing

[@Kainthemain]

When it comes too arcade machines your the man, so i need you knowledge in which one is best?

[@spetcnaz83]

That's not the original Dendy at all. My friend had the original Dendy in 1993 and it was a clone of the Japanese NES, both looks and games wise.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Aaaaah... so they abused the name 😒

[@bpfurtado]

🤘🏻

[@galy0]

The real Dendy is from Russia.

[@jimbotron70]

Sold in Russia, not from Russia.
