We all know about Dendy thanks to Kinaman.

What clone did you get in your native country?

We had "Pegasus" in Poland

We had the Family Game, or just "Family" as it was also commonly called, in Mexico. They still exist and are sold, although shaped as PSones, called Poly Station, I believe.

No, that one is actually shit, not cool. In Poland, after the first couple batches of good quality famiclones (Pegasus MT-777DX, Pegasus IQ-502 and a few others) we had an influx of shit quality clones like that one. Nowadays, while not as popular as in the past, you can still come across a famiclone in a chinese shop. The quality is so poor - the thing breaks in your hands like a piece of wafer. I have no idea why people still sell that crap. What's worse, there are fools who, driven by nostalgia, buy those shit famiclones hoping to play Super Mario or Contra.

Here, in Russia, we also had Subor produced famiclones — some of them had original Famicom design and others (like picrelated) were keyboard-shaped systems, packed with Basic interpreter or educational software.
Such systems were first coding experience for most of my 25+ yo programmers.

They had lot of problems trying to create Mega Drive clones here, I believe the only company who was commercialized for a really short time a Gen clone was Dynacom. Coincidentally (or not), they're responsible for the most famous famiclones here, the Dynavision series. As the later Nintendo products were officially distributed by Gradiente/Playtronic, there were no other clones around here except by the NES ones. But now you're saying, I never saw a Master System clone, does it exists? Even here in Brazil I only saw a pirated SMS cart once.

I have a Super Player Power Joy III.
Takes Famicom cartridges instead of NES on the underside. Shaped like a Nintendo 64 controller.

The Analog stick (which just emulates the D-Pad), surprisingly, is actually of better quality than the N64 controller's.

You see the center handle is kind of elongated. Thats so you can hold it like a handgun. Where the Z-button is(on a 64 controller), is where the trigger is. The light sensor is the translucent cone you see on the top.

The four "C-buttons" have A, B, and then Turbo-A, Turbo-B.

There is a holder for a battery pack for 3(or 4 cant recall) AA batteries where the memcard slot is on the 64 controller, but I lost it, so I just use an AC-DC power adapter, which is fine.

There is a player two port on the underside as well, but it is a DE-9 port. There are pinout guides to get make an NES to DE-9 adapter, but I've yet to try it.

Pretty accurate to the Famicom hardware-wise as far as I can tell. The audio is a tad noisier, but not too bad.
