Dendy (console)

Dendy (Russian: Де́нди) is a Taiwanese hardware clone of the Family Computer (the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System), produced for the Russian market. It was released in 1992 by the Steepler company. The Dendy was easily the most popular video game console of its time in the former USSR region and enjoyed a degree of fame roughly equivalent to that experienced by the NES/Famicom in North America, Japan and Western Europe. In 1992, Dendy was selling in the Russian Federation for 39,000 rubles (roughly 70–80 USD); by 1994, over one million Dendy units were sold in Russia, and the price was roughly $35.
