| Quote: | This particular Famiclone was hugely popular in Poland, Serbia, and Bosnia, where it has gained cult status, and is still widely available on auction websites and flea markets.
The system was manufactured in Taiwan by Micro Genius, and was built to resemble Nintendo's Famicom. Pegasus, like most known Famicom clones, was compatible with 60-pin Famicom cartridges, and partially compatible with some NES games, which could be played using a special converter. Original Nintendo games weren't popular however, due to raging piracy and lack of officially licensed products on the market. The majority of the games sold with and for the system were cheap pirated copies, manufactured mostly in Russia and China. Games for Pegasus are widely available in Poland to this day, mostly on street markets and in small toy stores.
The typical retail set included the system, two detachable controllers (both with "turbo" buttons, which meant 4 buttons in total; 6-button controllers also existed.), a light gun (very similar in design to NES Zapper), power supply, RF cable, as well as audio-video RCA connectors. The system itself did not include any built-in games, but was bundled with a pirated cartridge labelled "Contra 168-in-1", which contained a few of the best-known NES titles, like Contra, Super Mario Bros., and Tetris, listed multiple times with slight variations. Most of the games had a "trainer" feature, which allowed the player to adjust the number of lives, and even the starting level of the game. |
According to this article. I have owned a bootleg copy of NES console and consequently all the games that my parents bough from street market for about ~10zl-20zl  . I never knew it had a trainer feature? I hope, I still have it in my apartment in Poland. Maybe I can check it out this summer when I visit. It was always weird to see 200 games in just one cartridge.
A true pirate.

Lmfao!!!
I used to have a goddamn Pegasus too! I lived in Poland in the early to mid 90's and my father had bought one at the market. Goddamn, I had completely forgotten about it till you just posted this. I have no idea what happened to it, probably got lost when we moved to the states.
