Hey guys!

So I recently remembered that I had this console from when I was a kid lying around in my room and was wondering what it actually was. I am sure it is not made by Atari by themselves, but maybe it is a clone? Or could this be a knockoff? It has 32 games built in to it. Ones that I remember are Tennis, Basketball, Fishing Darby, Outlaw (all of these are Atari games, I YouTubed them and they are exactly what I used to play on this console). Also I have this one cartridge which says it's Donkey Kong, but the picture on it is really weird. Pictures below. I do remember the game being like Donkey Kong, but I do not remember it so well.

Looks like a clone to me, I've seen a lot of people asking about them the last week or so.

Why don't you post some screenshots of the game select screen if it has one

Screen shots of the Donkey Kong game would be nice, to see if it is a direct ripoff of the Coleco version.

Its a clone made by Funvision.
Not overly rare, but not talked about much either.

Thanks for the replies everyone,

From what I remember, the games were selected by pressing the game select button over and over until you reach the game you want to play.

Unfortunately, this console is back home. I had my sister pull it out for me to take pictures.

@nofrills100, that red one looks almost identical!! Wonder why mine does not say Funvision anywhere though... The Chinese one seems to have some text after that logo! Is there a possibility that mine is a knockoff?

I could get my sister to ship me the Donkey Kong cart to try on someone's Atari for screenshots... I don't think I can ship the whole console over though... Let me see what I can do!

They are both knockoffs of the junior, but i'd kill some little taiwanese man for the red one.
I have the black one boxed, the funvision brand is written all over it (the box)
I'm pretty sure atarimania has a screenshot of that donkey kong.

So basically a clone = pirate knockoff?

Is the black boxed one you have open? Is it exactly like mine? Or more like the black one further down in the thread you linked above?

You will not believe what happened!! So I went to the atarimania site like you said, and under the random screenshot section is the Donkey Kong game that I am talking about!!!! What are the odds?? Hahahaha!!

This is what is in my Donkey Kong cart. So apparently it's actually called Inca Gold?

EDIT: So I downloaded the ROM and played Inca Age, and it's exactly the game! So clearly my cart is some pirate knockoff right?

Mine also has built in games, so without looking at it i'd say it is the same as yours. Omega's one pictured is only slightly different with the coloured text.
Yes your cart is a pirated game too, most probably from funvision too, or similar origins.

If you want to see more crazy consoles look at Jahfish's collection in the 'show us your collection' area of this site.

Cool! Well it's nice to know more about my first console ever haha! If you ever get a chance, I would love to see a picture of yours and compare it with mine!

Also my console is PAL. Yours too I assume?
