Title: Family Kid reprint cartridge with stolen label
Post by: HummerTeam1001 on May 25, 2016, 08:52:58 PM

Hi,

So there's this Family Kid cartridge they're selling on AliExpress, and I bought one and here's a picture of it:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B45xmVslBNPsWEViOEh4WmdZakxseEJkaVZmMEIwVzJyZ3Rv/view?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B45xmVslBNPsWEViOEh4WmdZakxseEJkaVZmMEIwVzJyZ3Rv/view?usp=sharing)

(I tried to directly show the image in this post, but for some reason it wouldn't work.  -_- )

That label appears to have a hole in it, but it isn't actually a hole, they printed out a label with that part missing from the picture. Combined with the fact that the label is really, really blurry, I suspect that they just cropped a picture that somebody took of their Family Kid cartridge.

I'm pretty sure I saw a picture of a Family Kid cartridge that had a hole there somewhere before, so does anybody know who's picture this company stole the label from?

No idea, but all of these reprints suck.

This one doesn't seem sucky to me. The cartridge seems pretty sturdy, and it runs fine in my Famicom.

Oh. Yeah, that makes sense. I would have bought an original, but I couldn't find one. :P

They are mostly found in Thailand.  Family was the big clone there, or so I hear, and this was their customized version presumably.  I'd love to collect Famiclones for all of the major regions someday, like Micro Genius, Dendy, Pegasus, Family, etc.

Sounds neat! I'd like to do that too maybe.
