Which console is this??

I remember when I was a little kid I had a console, I don't know what it is but can sort of describe it. It was mostly white, there was a red thing on top that you slide to push the game cartridge out. Even though it used cartridges, you could literally find hundereds of games on it even without inserting a cartridge, it was like they are stored in memory. Most of them are just mario or bomberman variations. It also had the gun conroller for a duck shooting game. Am I talking about the NES or the SNES? I looked at them but they don't look similar but maybe I'm mistaken.

Sounds like one of those pirate consoles, these are systems sold with already loads of games in memory, and of course, are illegal, guess you got tricked when you were kid

That picture is of a Nintendo Famicom aka NES. The big thing under it looks like the disk drive that was released for it.

It's a NES, a pirate variation I think, I owned one of those. See it says "Family Computer" for short "Famicom" know in Japan.

Indeed it is. In our quest for console history we have run into many such pirate clones. We believe this is the machine he is referring to


This one in particular had 3000 games built in, but were mostly variations of the usual Mario & Bomberman titles. It also could take famicom carts

sounds like a clone to me, cloud.
but it doesnt really matter; the games are the same, just the copyright bits taken out and hacked a little here and there.
