A Famiclone is a portmanteau word (from Famicom and clone) that refers to a Famicom/NES clone. Often times, these systems are pirated (or unlicensed).

One of the the most famous examples of famiclones is the Dendy Junior II. See also: List of Famiclones

=NES= The NES is one of the world's most recognized game systems. Famicom is the official name for the Japanese version of this product. NES is also one of the most cloned game systems of all time.

Many companies have made famiclones (see list of Famiclones).

=Pocket Famicom= The Pocket Famicom is a Famiclone produced by Gametech. This system has rather advanced features for a Famiclone. Unfortunately, you have to get a Fami~NES converter to play American NES cartridges on it.

One of the best features of this is the backlit color graphics screen. It is better when it goes in conjunction with AV outputs for a TV/external monitor. This Famiclone looks strikingly similar to a Gameboy Advance.

Other features

 * Headphone jack
 * Battery or AC adaptor powered
 * portability

=Dendy Junior II= The Dendy Junior II is a look-alike of the original Famicom. Unlike the American NES, this game system uses atari-like controller inputs. Since Nintendo didn't market their official Famicom/NES, the Dendy Junior II was marketed as an unofficial indroduction of the NES in Russia and the former Soviet Union.
