NES Clone: Family Boy 8
Being tired of my original NES blinking when attempting to play games, I started looking for NES to Famicom adapters to use with my Super Joy III. After realizing the cheapest I could get them was around $25, I ordered an NES clone for about the same price. The clone I chose was the Family Boy 8. It comes with the system, two controllers, and the Famicom-NES adapter for around $30 on Ebay. I actually like the way the controllers feel more than the original NES controller and the NES Max controller.
The only problem I have with it is, if I bump it while it’s on, the game will sometimes freeze. This is due to the way the cartridge sits in the console. Other than that, it works better than my Original NES. It’s a great deal if you are looking to play some of your old NES games without an emulator or the Virtual Console (rip-off).
