The Grey Elephant's Curse : famicom pirates in russia

The Grey Elephant's Curse (with English subtitles)

This movie tells a story about 8-bit gaming era in Russia's 90s. Remember AVGN's reviews revealing the dark side of video game industry in the USA?
Well, the stories he told are no match to what a typical Russian gamer had to face then, a long time ago. No Nintendo tech support, no official N distributing, just a vast wild piracy market, divided into elephant-faced "official piracy" and "pirate piracy" . Hardware problems, software glitches, the trademark "Made-in-China" quality. That time, even cheatbooks lied and there was no Internet to help you through.
"Dendy", "Steepler", VG consoles, clones, accessories, games and more - in Kinaman's new review movie "The Grey Elephant's Curse".

Dendy wow, good videos.

I although have no problem with cartridge games that are just their circuit boards Best way to guarantee the region lockout of some games simply doesn't work is to just remove the plastic shell.
