Well I don't know if this counts but...
For those wondering, this is the Panasonic Q, a Gamecube/DVD player hybrid. It's a nice piece of hardware, popular with collectors.

When i was a wee lad there was common belief that this was a real product

Now see, my brain is convinced the Game Girl existed and it was some gross shade of pearl pink. I remember seeing it in the Argos catalogue.

Super PolyStation 2:

Looks like one of the better ones...

I'll never forget the PolyStation, so many broken promises and crushed dreams.
And its partner:
80% of the games didn't work
5% did work
15% was the 5% games with different colors and names.
Gotta love how shameless it is. 100 games in 1 is fine, but 10 millions (almost)? How is that even possible? I bet they thought no one was going to read it.
Well I don't know if this counts but...
The Q was so awesome. I was dangerously close to buying one back in the day.

I can't wait for the next gen knock offs.
Maybe there will be a Vii T.

I'm waiting for the combined console, the "PlayWiiUStationBox420"
I remember seeing something like that on the Home Shopping Network. Not a bootleg cartridge, but a shitty LCD handheld being advertised as having some ridiculous number of games but it was really like 7 games with different options and they considered each potential combination of options as its own entire game.

So not really a console, but games for a console that isn't Nintendo's that's for sure.
Unless they happen to work in the Gameboy Colour, I have no idea as I didn't buy it.

I really regret selling mine, needed the cash though. Maybe I'll buy another one day.
OMG is this real?

I got this is Mexico. I threw it in the trash 5 minutes after I turned it on. 9999999 variations of 8 NES games....
Holy shit this blew my mind. I thought it was a normal NES but then BAM! I want this so bad!

I dunno, the appeal of that portable NES is somewhat diminished when you realize you have to play it on an LCD.

Seems like a BenHeck mod or something, i'm sure you could find build instructions online. (probably stupidly difficult and expensive)
not to derail the thread but i can highly recommend the Hori PS3 screen though!
Here in Argentina we never had the original NES or Famicom. Instead, we got good ol' Family Game:
Besides these ones, which looked more like the original Famicom, I used to see supermarket ads for other clones such as the PlayCreation (PS case), PolyStation and other ones which copied the Sega Genesis' case and controllers.
There were lots of 1,000,000 in 1 cartridges filled with sprite swaps of a few games or just downright broken stuff. I fondly remember a SMB which broke the tile drawing, so you had to guess or memorize where the bottomless pits were supposed to be.
I also remember a Sega Genesis clone that came with wireless IR controllers. It was nearly impossible for me to keep the controller aimed at the console all the time when I played it at a friend's house, so the games became artifically hard to play.
Not so long ago, I also think I saw a Famiclone-Wii or something. Famiclones and Genesis clones have been around here since forever, but nowadays they aren't as widespread as before.

this is amazing
B--but I had a Nintendo Family Game! With Mario on the box! I could swear it said "Nintendo"
But yeah, actually everyone discussing a NES will call it just "Family". Like, "do you remember that old Family game?"

Impressive. This is some next level shit.
Hmm. Seems legit.
Reminds me of this:
This, and all those bizarre bootleg action figures, always cracks me up.
