Using the exchange rate of the time, you'd get about $2 for £1. Whatever they were charging for the deck and carts, I'm pretty sure they'd be several times £1.99.<br /><br />For a wee bit of extra colour depth, that's quite ludicrous.<br /><br />Note on Micro Machines and Dizzy: The PAL versions of those were standalone carts that looked like a Game Genie, and used the passthrough to piggyback the copy protection from a licenced game.Fattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117893939379065774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-22088086416579084472016-09-14T05:34:42.511-04:002016-09-14T05:34:42.511-04:00Of course, I wanted to write Wild Gunman and not W...Of course, I wanted to write Wild Gunman and not Wild Gunner.

You need it to play Wild Gunner the "proper" way, watch this commercial: https://youtube.com/watch?v=BDfBqWGbqGg Keeping your gun aimed at the enemy all the time is clearly cheating. :P<br /><br />BTW, I have heard a rumour that Dendy Famiclone lightguns are more accurate than Zappers. Do we have a way to verify this? Actually, you could write an article about Famiclones, at least about these older Micro Geniuses (known as Dendy in Russia and as Pegasus in Poland) which are belived to replicate the Famicom pretty well.<br /><br />Maybe this video about popular Famiclones will inspire you in some way (English subtitles available):<br /><br />https://youtube.com/watch?v=rJQr3tnjHlg<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-39464513069080899422016-09-02T20:03:38.454-04:002016-09-02T20:03:38.454-04:00And this: https://fcgamer.wordpress.com/2016/01/08...And this: https://fcgamer.wordpress.com/2016/01/08/game-genie-unlock-the-power-a-disorganized-writing/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-18136574471293084262016-09-02T19:55:05.948-04:002016-09-02T19:55:05.948-04:00Well, I guess this Game Genie is rather for Famicl...Well, I guess this Game Genie is rather for Famiclones than then the Famicom, but still...<br /><br />"A 60-pin Famicom version of the Game Genie was released under license by Realtec, and was sold in Poland, South America and Taiwan, and likely other countries where 60-pin Famicom clones were common.
