We have all strolled around a local market, or visited a local fair at some point in our lives. So I’m sure we’ve all seen the terrible kids toys and “legitimate” gadgets on offer for a small fee. Small flashing toys made from low quality plastic, cheap components and a terrible loop of 8bit tunes! Enough to drive anyone crazy!
Well we thought we would bring you a small round up of some of the “greatest” and most tongue-in-cheek rip-offs of your favourite gadgets and brands!
WARNING: This article contains strong examples of sarcasm.
The 'Game Theory Admiral' (GTA). Oddly similar to Nintendo's Gameboy Advance (GBA)
The 'PolyStation 3' (PS3) - Im sure Sony will be shaking in their boots with the quality of this competitor product!
This amazing multi-functional box of plastic would make any gamer shudder! The marketing company responsible for its name and the branding behind behind it must be amazing! We think that no child will make it through Christmas time without begging for:
The Power Player Super Joy III Mega System!
The Neo Double Games system is very reminiscent of the great Game & Watch pocket devices of the early 80s.
Woah! Watch out Microsoft, these things are selling like hotcakes... Hot cakes filled with rat poison and soil!
The Nuntendi Wee, a great system to get all the family round and have a good giggle waving your arms! In frustration of course - it's only a DVD player.
For your viewing pleasure, we bring you a video review of the fantastic console that will live through the ages – The POP Station!
