looks extremely cool. would be a good birthday gift or something. however, i wonder if they're obtaining licenses to sell those roms or if it's illegal cartridges?

dont you hate reading of a specific product
then get a link to the entire web site instead of that product
and by the time you got there
it got tugged back three layers deep?

or is this just a case of the comission code-link?

either way, it is a hassle! :(

Isn't that one of those Super-Illegal ones with the copy-righted ROM's they stole? I've seen alot of systems like that from Hong Kong. They change the title screen of the game and somehow claim it as their own. Also, they say they have 25, 50, 100 games, but really they just have 20 versions of 5 games with different colors. Not only are these systems completely illegal, but they're total junk too. Poorly made, hastily manufactured, and destined to died in a few days of use. I hope those things arn't being promoted on this website. That's a good way to get in trouble.

the funny thing is, they sell those illegal ones at kiosks in malls around here.

They change the title screen of the game and somehow claim it as their own.
yeah, it's one of those. why did this warrant posting?

No offense i am a big fan of retro games but a system that dedicates it self to retro games. that sounds pretty lame.

SUCCESS-HK (POSSIBLE SCAM, DEFINATELY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE)

I've been dying to let someone know, that Success-Hk has some seriously questionable practices. Over Christmas when I placed an order, they demanded my bank account, credit card, and photo Id scanned and sent them. I'm not making this up. It took over two weeks to convince them to either send me my order, or cancel it and return my money. (oh yeah the cash had cleared the card when they were asking for these scans of my personal documents.
I rightly told them where to go.
(I DID GET MY REFUND)
I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM EVER!!! (again)
true story
