Okay, so it's some cheap Chinese crap but is it an NES or SMS clone? The thing looks brand new but the box has "8-bit" on it. Appearance wise, it slightly resembles a Genesis but the pads are like a cross between a PSX and a European SNES (colored buttons). It comes with a light gun and appears to come with a multi-cart too. Any ideas?

that gun looks like the old 80's Worlds of Wonder Lazer Tag gun.

I think they're fun little toys if you can get them for cheap, ~$10. I've seen plenty at shops in Chinatowns. Here's a cool page with descriptions of famiclones and pirate multicarts:

If Zidane approved it then it's gotta be good!
Famicom--just look at the included cartridge. Sure looks nice :)

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I suspected it was a NES/Famicom clone but I am still curious about the controller. Well all know that the Famicom (and the NES) only had two fire buttons, A and B. This appears to have four (like the SNES)... maybe two of them are auto-fire buttons. Any ideas?
