| This is the only known pirate GB clone, that is, is a game
console which plays actual Game Boy cartridges, that is not made by Nintendo
themselves. It is manufactured by Fortune
Power Industries Co. Ltd. out of Taiwan; they also make a NES and Genesis/MegaDrive
as well. They also claim they make "Game Boy Compatible software", whether
or not it is 'legit' is anyone's guess. I don't know if this is, strictly
speaking, a "pirate" clone, since there is no propriatary parts inside
the Game Boy, and therefore anyone can could build one with off-the-shelf
parts. I don't see why anyone would think there is a market for this 'old
style' GB with the slimmer, more compact Pocket GBs out there, to say nothing
of the new Color GB, but who knows :) Whether or not this is *really* 100%
Game Boy compatible, including compatibility with all accessories (especially
those using the Game Link) is questionable. If anyone knows more, let
me know.
