Feels gud man

Without grorious chinese pirates, I wouldn't have played all those Famicom/NES games in my teens.

Clones are the poor man's alternative, without them so many kids in so many poor countries would have had much more boring childhoods with no games to play. This is specially true for those countries the big companies didn't care for, by not releasing their products officially they pretty much laid the market to whoever wanted to take it in a silver plate.

And after having played both the copies and the originals, I can say in all honesty that the difference is minimal, the experience is basically the same. I played Super Mario Bros. (actually in my case it was Super Panda Bros. but whatever) just like american kids did, if only a little later.
