Last summer I found a Dendy Junior at the flea market; now I need some games to go with it…
..this time at the Prague Flea Market (Czech).
The cartridge is the ‘Subor 20 in 1’ pack, which is a bootleg games collection.
The game was produced by the company Subor. In the 1990s, the company primarily produced Famicom clones along with the corresponding games. The Famicom (short for Family Computer) is the original Japanese version of Nintendo’s 8-bit console. In the West, this is known as the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). Technically, they are largely identical, but differ, for example, in the design of the cartridge connectors (60 pins on the Famicom compared to 72 pins on the NES).
Bootleg games are unauthorised, unofficial video games which, for example, have been produced without a licence from the rights holder (“pirated copies”) and may infringe copyright in whole or in part. Due to their dubious nature, they have since become an interesting area of collecting. On these pages you will find overviews of
Update 10.5.26
Today, at the Bürgerweide flea market (German) in Bremen, I found another interesting addition for Dendy Junior games (and other clones): the “NASA Games Super Adapter For Entertainment System”, an adapter that allows the games to be played on an original NES console.
Technically speaking, this is an NES-to-Famicom adapter, designed to allow 60-pin games (Famicom) to be played on a 72-pin console (NES). These adapters were produced by various manufacturers. This one is from “Nasa”, a name under which the company “Lingli” sold its Famicom clones; they were quite common in Spain, for example.
