Pilsmer Водка... плохой!

For maximum effect, try "imperialist" instead (or on top) of "capitalist". Adds that ideological punch everyone loves!
I remember being at friends' home watching neighbor playing Tanks. You could pick up the signal, because these consoles were plugged in as antenna and, amplified by the TV itself, emitted some of the signal to the area around- so you just tune in and watch. So yeah- Eastern Block invented Twitch .
I had one chinesse clone of Dendy,that called "Haili 777" in my childhood and it wasn`t necessary to connect through antenna input, because it has a small antenna inside of it and broadcast reciver, so you just need to tune your tv and find your broadcasting console. Just magic:)
We use to do that here in Costa Rica, the signal even reach several houses down the street.
It's not like twitch, more like cuckolding
Sounds bizzare and amazing to me
Twitch is cuckolding lol
The Mario bootleg was actually a re-skin of a game called “Squirrel King”, which in turn was a ripoff of Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers on the NES.
That box throw tho, 😅
A ripoff game of a ripoff game, running on a ripoff console. That's one heck of a chain of ripoff
At least it was based off of a good game....
@@Kalvinjj IS RUSSIAN GAME, NO RIPOFF! IS IMPROVEMENT!
You see Ivan, Russian game is not ripoff. Is just surprise sequel!
As a Taiwanese, it’s kinda interesting to know that “our” product had been rebranded and sold in a country that we are generally not familiar with.
@Cactus Jack Well..I mean we know about the country, but not many people knows about the whole culture of Russia compared to the nearby countries, and we generally only knows russians as "The Fighting Nation". Yeah, no offensive though.

I live in Iran and this was the first console my father bought for me when I was 5 years old. I remember my whole family playing with it. My brother and my sister and my father.

I'm from Brazil, and I owned a Russian Famiclone called "Mega Power" back when I was a kid. I eventually moved on to an original SNES, but that console is what started my long lasting love for video games that persists to this day. I played tons of those bootlegged "100 in 1" cartridges in it. While most of the stuff on those cartridges was crap, I did own one with Super Mario Bros and Contra, so it wasn't all that bad. Oh, there was also one with Hogan's Alley and Duck Hunt. Both contained Battle City, if I recall correctly.
All in all, I had a lot of fun playing tons of bootlegs as a kid, and I have some weird nostalgia for those days nowadays. The idea of getting a cartridge without really knowing what you're getting into, and playing a console that's literally just a bootleg Famicom clone. I dunno, I kinda miss it.
Oh, and we also refer to copying machines as "xerox" here in Brazil.
As a fellow Brazilian, I bet your pretty good English is also largely on account of growing up playing video games
I'm loving these video essay style videos from you, great stuff.

I've also watched Kinamania's series on Dendy called "Curse of the Grey Elephant". I find it hilarious that on TV shows like Novaya Realnost Dendy, the host would say things like, "Joe and Mac is just a rip off of Super Mario 15", since there had already been released earlier in Russia a pirated version of Joe and Mac, with Mario and Luigi sprites swapped in. When the ACTUAL game Joe and Mac was finally released in Russia, the original version was accused of being the pirate copy! Comedy gold!

We had the "Pegasus" model here and let me tell you, it was the HOTTEST SHIT in my city.
Nobody else even heard about it, so when I told my friends to come by and play some games together, they were so blown away by the console we literally had kids from my school coming to play something every single day.
One might say, my parents were angry with that... but they were super cool with it, since both of them were playing Battle City (Tanks) or Contra, OG Mario Bros, Donkey Kong and other games together.
It was even decided who will clean the dishes or takes out trash by who will loose in 1v1 in some of those games (ofc who had the higher score)
Man I love these memories, when we finally had a PC, my parents were playing all kinds of games (esp. RPGs) and the most popular game here was Might & Magic 6.
My mom drew a map of every location and even drew a map of all the locations connected together.
My dad then wrote all the potions effects, all the trainers and skills, all the quests and to this day we have that huge book of maps, potion recipies and quest guides in my parents living room stored right next to the VHS when me and my sister were born and our family photos.
All thanks to my uncle who went to Poland BY MYSTAKE and needed an excuse for the travel so he bought Micro Genius IQ-502 (Pegasus) as a gift for us (because it was not possible to get your hands on it in my country at the time)
God Bless

hey im curious hwich supreme logo are you referring to? the box logo? i cant see any resemblance
White all-caps text over a red rectangle. I guess Supreme also ripped off many news headliners, Nintendo's logo, exit signs, TLC channel's logo, mall sales graphics, rejected stamp, Uniqlo, Monopoly board game, many tabloids like Sun Tabloid and News World, Life Magazine, Colgate toothpaste, Marvel Comics, JVC technologies, Velux, Diesel.

My wife grew up in the Soviet Union, and they had a Sega Master System in the 80’s that was an illegal European import. Lots of people who were the Soviet equivalent of upper-middle class had access to this stuff through the gray market, even before the Denny’s started flooding in.

Comrade, your head is there. FOr every one PS One owner in Nigeria, there were about 200 #EndingMan console owners and maybe 50 Sega Genesis owners to boot.
In Serbai also Terminator with yelow game boxes
In Brazil we had Famiclones too, the original NES was overshadowed by clones because the NES AND the SNES had the same price, so most people wanted the SNES. Those who couldn't afford the SNES had Famiclones, and sometimes the Master System and the Megadrive.
(Our first NES clone was made in 1989, the design is pretty bizarre to be honest

My 7 years old was born and growing up in America where I’ve lived for close to 20 years. We started talking about game consoles and for some reason I felt the need to do some research in the Denny that I grew up with. So many childhood memories with this thing. I can’t remember my exact age when parents caved in and bought one for me. We had this archaic Russian made tv and I remember my disappointment when after hooking everything up the image was black and white. Luckily parents ponied up some more right away and got us a modern by those days some Asian country made TV with a remote. It was great fun playing it with buddies. Shopping for cartridges on open air markets prevalent in those days. Maybe I’ll get one for nostalgic reasons to ruminate about the country where I was born and grew up, and has changed so much.. awesome video by the way
Man, you guys in Russia had it good with your dendis in the 90s. I got my first "totaly original, mamoy clyanus" Sega Mega Drive 2 in 2007 and I was a god in my neighborhood. I still have 2 shoeboxes full of bootleg MTG cards that I got for letting other kids play it.
Heh, I saw Kinaman's video on the topic years ago (Grey Elephant's Curse, for anyone interested). Nevertheless, I'm glad you touched upon this as well - and thanks for bringing back those good ol' memories, Rom.
PS. A small trivia for ya: the Eastern-European bootleg of NES/Famicom, Pegasus, was made by a bogus company BobMark, founded by a guy who had preciously imported used clothes from Asia to Polish second-hand shops... however, the mid-90s amendments to Polish Copyright Law - more specifically, 1994 update to _Ustawa o prawie autorskim_ - turned out to be a "little" obstacle to his business.
BobMark didn't share the fate of Steepler and go bankrupt, though, and continued to stay in business; and that's because they just ditched video games & started to produce fizzy, carbonated drinks licensed from the West.

My Bro's Dad Called His Nintendo...a PRETENDO.
I started gaming in 1980, when I was 8, on the Atari 2600 of my elder Brother. Which is 18 Years older and already lived with his Wife together in an own Flat. So I could only play, when I visited him, every few Weeks. Later I got a Microvision Handheld, which I still own, a Vectrex-Console (sadly I don't have it anymore), a Commodore 64, a Commodore Amiga 600 and so on.
But I never heard of the Dendy-Console before. So it was very interesting. Thank you! :)
It's kinda interesting to hear that another country also uses the word xerox to describe any photocopying machine... I actually didn't know it was a brand until now tbh, cool story bro

Your "narrator voice" is so different that I didn't realize it was you speaking until I realized it sounded a little familiar.
Great English btw
Roman: it's pronounced "counter-fit"
Even though I miss a little bit your gaming videos, your documentaries on Russian media are so introspective, interesting and eye opening that make me forget about those a bit. I am so happy how you grew as a UA-camr, from a gaming channel, to a commentary channel, to memes and currently your documentaries, it's so refreshing yet at the same time retaining your NFKRZ personality. And yes, I've been looking for a Dendy video for years (or at least one I could understand) and this, this is perfect.
There is still a shop in my native city called "Центр Денди" (Dendy's Center). But it's just a history bit. By now they selling only tv equipment and spare parts for electronics.
5:46 Actually, this translates like "video ace", no "ass")))
I was sort've confused by the Hamy console part of the video when you were talking about the Dendy. It seemed like it had some common titles like the Dendy from what you were saying, but I felt the connection was weak as it wasn't the same thing as a Dendy. Some additional elaboration might've helped there. Also, listing some sources (maybe in the video description) would give you more credibility and let viewers research the topic some more. Otherwise, I really liked this break in style from some of your other videos. It's nice to have a little variety. I enjoyed learning from it. Good job!
"Vodka bad, SNES good" is probably the most successeful anti-alcohol ad in Russia.
How about russian/soviet cameras ( Zenit, Zorki etc.) next ?
I am from Romania and in the 80s where arcade machines and some big shops where selling consoles and TVs with consoles integrated.
This channel is ground breaking. Noone ever speaks of social and day to day life type history of Russian
I had a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach, upon hearing that Nintendo had invited the Steepler owners to fly to the US, for the sake of attending a meeting in Redmond, Washington. Nowadays, it'll be a reasonably common scenario that the US and/or its close allies will want to arrest somebody for credit card fraud, identity theft, ransomware, etc. They may even want to arrest them with extreme urgency, but if the person lives in Russia or another country without an extradition treaty with the US, it can be impossible unless that country gives them up. (Just ask Snowden!)
Often the US-based company who feels they're owed money will try luring them to the US, or to a third country where law enforcement can be convinced to grab them, and extradite them to the US. Fortunately, it was just my paranoia getting the better of me once again, and it actually was a legit meeting. I was half expecting this to be the bad old, 1200 lb gorilla of a company Nintendo started becoming during their boom years in the early '90s, monopolistic and LITIGIOUS as all hell. I was thinking there's a very real chance Nintendo had convinced the FBI, or postal inspector, or some other agency to arrest Steepler execs. I guess the giveaway of it being NOT a setup, is that the Steepler guys were set to meet with Minoru Arakawa and Howard Lincoln, who together more or less ran Nintendo at the executive level. They wouldn't be willing to have the bad publicity of having effectively the CEO of the company used as a 'bait' for a sting operation like that.
What do you guys think? Are there spies from Nintendo lurking outside in the bushes RIGHT NOW? Let me rephrase that- How MANY spies did Redmond send this time?
Damn a massive theory over a meeting not bad
Wasn’t expecting a Scott the Woz reference.
10:48 they actually got the ROM from the official Brazilian port of Duke Nukem 3D. I'm shocked!
They've been breaking so often that in my lifetime I've had like 5 or 6 Dendys. The last one I bought in like 2005, they were still selling in a small town near Smolensk where PC at that time was like Porsche, I guess. Except no one had it
PC in 2005 was pretty widespread in CIS countries.
@@viper6741 not everywhere, trust me
@@Kirshach yes, but comparing with rarity of Porsche is not that accurate

Нихуя-се у меня смертестойкая денди, если у такого большого количества людей оная не раз ломалась. Моя вот уже второй десяток работает.
To Poland, Smolensk is a controversial city.
12:12 NFKRZ - ....or shooting fire balls, since when does Mario do that?!??!
Fire Flower - *am I a joke to you!?!??!*
Justsomeguy the throwing objects was also in Super Mario Bros. 2 so this man did indeed miss out
it looks like a Chip'n'Dale clone but with diffrent sprites
@@alexandrvasilev2865 it is. This is a hack of unlicensed game called Squirrel King which itself was an unauthorized port of the Chip 'n' Dale game for NES.
Justsomeguy super mario 64 and all the other 3D games: am I a joke to you?
In Hungary these were unknown items. We bought Commodore 16 in 1987. Then a C64 in '90, and Amiga 1200 in '94. And all of our friends something like these - ZX Spectrum, Enterprise, Commodore plus 4, Amiga 500, and since the mid '90-s some kind of PC-s.
It's like the console your grandma brings back from her Bali holiday.
Там всё же больше от Famicom'a чем от NES, нет смысла его даже в пример ставить. У нас ведь в основном именно игры на японском были, т.к. в NES какое то время защита от копирования держалась, в то время как у японцев её не было.
Lys94 на несе нет никакой противопиратской защиты, вот на снесе есть с помощью VRAM, загугли
@@theotheslav на NES дополнительные дорожки на картридже исключительно для этого
Lys94 каво? Потом посмотрю
Lys94 ну да картриджи у Америки были другие в отличии от фамикома
@@theotheslav вот, зае***ся искать. На 34 и 35 пине висит en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIC_(Nintendo)
Nintendo: Am i a joke to you?
USSR:Да
nice copy stopid
Not USSR
Battle City (at 10:13) was a thing in Hungary too (tho I played it on pc). oh the feels :D does anyone remember Dyna Blaster/Bomberman?
Bomberman! I could play that for hours and hours while visiting my Polish grandmother. Together with Milk n Nuts, Contra, Mario, Tank (Battle City), Arkanoid and Duck Hunt :D.
@@LuiePool , I remember all these games)
Actually, Dendy was the clone of Famicom, not NES.
@@nicolausteslaus Nope. Dendy was built on NOC technology, and supported ROMs of all regions. Also it used 60-pin carts.
NES and Famicom had different (mutually incompatible) hardware. That's the reason why Castlevania 3 for NES had no VRC7 inside, and why some regional NTSC-ROMS are incompatible.
We had Dendy here in South Africa as well, along with the Golden China famicom bootleg console
Woow good job Roman, really informative and professional video!
7:46 there's a random tp-link router quick-start guide in the box
In Malta we had very popular the Micro Genius consoles - Like you said pretty much the same console as the Dendy. Very popular was the IQ-1000 or IQ-2000 with wireless controller.
The weird thing I did is that I played ripped - off NES titles on my ps2 with a USB stick.
Why?
@@BionikleFG I was just experimenting with jailbroken PS2, that's it.
@@xDeedles No, I don't want to, because I can't. And I don't have a PS4 controller.
В продолжение данной истории: следующая на очереди PS one прошитые и диски к ним пиратские. Или как за счёт пиратских дисков и переводов поднялись Фаргусы, 1С и другие ныне легальные студии.

И о существование Нинтендо 64, ни Геймкуб вы никогда так и не узнали. О ШЕДЕВРАХ Марио 64, Марио саншайн, smash melee, вы никогда не узнали и не узнаете. Будете и дальше играть в кинцо на плейстейшын и боготворить несуществующую консоль денди. Презираю русских.
Remember optronics in the 1990's and Quantum Loop Logicgates? Feels like 1995 went through backwards revisions
*shows picture of russian adapters*
me: h o w t h e f u c k .?
Still have my OG Dendy Junior. I was shocked(as probably all Russians), when i got myself an internet access in a late 2000s, that those Dendys were actually ripoff of japanese gaming console Famicom.
I recently found out about these game consoles from another UA-camr. Blew me away. I just thought everyone had access to NES . Thanks for the vid. Have watched a few of your videos and really enjoyed it. Hitting the subscribe button!
Dendy as brand is still alive. It's owned by "New Game". By workers of "Great Dragon". And now new consoles are made in Zelenograd.
Yes, and i have one
