Thank you SerpentZA for sending me here. Never really was into gaming but this was pretty.... educational.

I am Chinese and I live in 天津. My parents have used them before. It is entirely compatible with NES cartridges! They say it is rather a NES clone than a computer. Those "educational computers" are much cheaper that the real NES back then and you can run visually every NES cartridges on it, and that's why it went really popular. Just a technical point, this computer's CPU is a total clone of the MOS 6502 processor on the NES, however they added an extra I/O chip for the keyboard. (Pls pin me)

It's not a total clone. These famiclones usually use UMC6576 or similar NES-On-Chip as their kernel rather than separate chips. There are lots special quirks and differents in it compared to a normal Famicom or NES. If you try to run some very complex games that are tailored to Famicom/NES circuit setup e.g. BattleToads, it won't work. On the other hand, complex games tailored for such NOAC won't work on Famicom/NES, especially unlicensed (but actually quite polished) games by Waixing (外星科技) or Jncota （晶科泰）.

Nice to see another video on this, caught Winston's a while back. I thought the internet would be all over that Jackie Chan computer the first time I saw a picture of it but not many video features. I guess it's rarity and difficulty tracking down it's history proved challenging, people would get one but then just speculate about it heh.

Great Video! Winston sent me to see it! I enjoyed it a lot.

Long time subscriber myself, but SerpentZA recommended this video :)

Let me throw in some trivia. Subor was actually founded by Duan Yongping - a very enterprising fellow. Back than foreign gaming devices were banned in China, so he actually personally reverse engineered a Famicom and made it play jNTSC games in PAL (that's why here are vertical bands on the screen and the timing is off). He arranged mass production of a "homegrown" gaming device, effectively coining the standard of an awful famiclone as we know it. He mass produced the bloody thing until the late 90s, when he got fed up by it, sold the company and started a DVD-player manufacturer known as BBK. In mid to late 2000s effectively every second DVD-player in the world was BBK (one way or another)... And then he got fed up again! He founded a mobile phone manufacturer known as OPPO and One Plus. His company is bigger than Apple in Asia and Duan Yongping one of the most rich Chinese... Well one of the richest people in the world! I wonder, what shall he do, when he gets bored with mobile phones? PS. I have one of those Subor keyboard contraptions (the Russian version), as I collect weird computers. Sadly no educational cartridges. Perhaps somebody would ship me one of those? I'll pay for the delivery.

I t was only by chance I saw Winston and Naomi send this in a video, and then this showed up on my page. A great follow- up and very informative take on "educational" accessories in China.

Saw the slot. Yelled "famiclone". Watched it all. Great video.

Serps & Nomi left a bite of a trail, leading me here, I like your work Retro, a kool place to hang for a look see. Checked in, think I'll be staying for a bit.

SerpentZA sent me! Neat bit of computer history. I went the Atari route initially, with the 800 and the 130XE, then on to the IBM PC series. PC XT to 386 SX 20 and beyond.

Here in Brazil we had a similar clone called Magic Computer by Dynavision circa 1995 and had similar functions like Basic and NES compatibility.

Ha! incredible entry! Hope you jump over the table in all your episodes. Cheers!

I used to love playing "Super Mary" back when... wait, what?

Great video review! This summer I am going to Shanghai and I'd love to find something like this, but sadly is incredibly difficult nowadays to get one or those clones (at least it was for me two years ago despite going with my Chinese wife)

Great episode as always. I'm fascinated by all those odd machines they had on the other side of the Iron Curtain to play games

Hi,I’ve seen this pc/games machine before on serpentza own channel awhile back,he bought it somewhere to give it way as a gift at a games show he was guest and he gave it to the 1st person to answer a question,your 1 looks better condition but his had an xtra cart with all different games on it as well as the basic and educational 1s Keep up the good work

This was very interesting to watch as well as learning about China and the video game industry

8:33 The "Song of the Volga Boatmen" (known in Russian as "Эй, ухнем!" ). 😆

In Russia there was a big famiclone company called Steepler that made the Dendy famiclone series very famous in the country.

I remember watching Winston's video back when he made it. Didn't know that it was you to whom he was sending the package.

I am pretty sure that if I look hard enough in some of the oldest toy stores here, I could find some of them (without the celebrity endorsement though). These things were widely available but the main issue was that -as you pointed out- the system didn't seem to have a way to save, so it was pretty useless as a computer. Nice video. Now I want to find out if it can save data :D

as a kid in 90s Russia I can confirm, I got my Subor back in late 1996 unfortunately the controllers plugs was really fragile, pins in ports was a bit fragile as well due to the technical complexity we didn't have some major releases from Nintendo, like Super Mario Bros 2 (Doku doku panic) and Super Mario Bros 3 etc, we missed all major releases that required some additional chips in cartridges

funny thing about the scale at 10:00 is that is it's displayed as C major but it's actually minor, and not only that, but it's the D minor scale (dorian) gotta love Chinese quality control hahaha

This keyboard console was half of my childhood! I still have the cartridge that came with it and about 20(something) other cartridges laying around at my parents place. It was a weekly ritual where me and my brother would go down to the marked every Saturday and exchange one cartridge each for a new one. Edit: Oh and for those of you wondering my cartridges only contain one chip under a blip of black goo, not so fancy as the one shown here.

My jaw is stuck in the open position right now. I clicked for the Jackie Chan computer, but I don't think anything can top Naomi.

Very well-made video. In the mid 90s there was a flood of Subor console/education PCs in Russia in various form-factors and I always assumed the name was something local since the programs were in Russian, but turns out it was a Chinese company.

This kind of reminds me of the Magnavox Odyssey 2 (the only gaming console I have ever owned.) As a former English Teacher in China for a few years, I always appreciate the way clever Chinese people innovate to sneak around draconian PRC laws.

liked and subscribed due to cheeky table slide.
