Title: PC Console Boy - does this actually pay Hu Cards?

What is this? Something that looks like a Core Grafx, or a clone?

Lol tats. Is this the sequel to the Korean PC Boy that plays re-packaged American Hu-Cards?

I'd like to see the insides of this thing. It probably uses "stolen" chips like the previously surfaced Chinese clones (on NFG Games).

Interesting indeed.  The box shows a CD system card inserted.  I wonder if the back of the unit is interface connection capable. 

Seems they made a PCE Shuttle clone as well...

That's the one that plays American Hueys.

Tatsujin knows all about this.

Couldn't think of a cooler console to clone!! Too bad they didn't clone the controller though...

On the subject of clones, I would love to find a Russian Dendy console (Famicom clone) from the Soviet era.

The Korean PCE was badass too, I'm hoping someone links a photo of it...

 O:)

wow the design of this korean tg16 is way better than the american one. Although it's kinda odd that the koreans would import the tg16 rather than the PC engine

There's a better site somewhere on that system with much more information, but I don't have the link.

Found this link that has a little more info on the Vistar...

http://nfggames.com/games/vistar/

I'm guessing that these are quite rare and hard to find?  Anyone know what a rough value for one of these is?

Do not know the value but I've been trying to find one for ages, even had some contact with Koreans but most of them has never heard of the Vistar 16 :(

some contact = going to korean restaurants and asking your waitress "have you ever heard of the Vistar 16?" hehe just kidding ;)

The knock-offs are probably from HK.  I say that because a Korean knockoff would've had the NA/JP style flat-2 pin power cord (as Korea was on 110v + North America/Japanese style outlets until the mid 90s).  I do actually recall seeing a shuttle knockoff in Korea as well, but the molding for that was essentially identical to the PCE shuttle whereas the one above clearly uses a similar, but different, molding for the shell.

There's a better site somewhere on that system with much more information, but I don't have the link.

Of course you are kidding, but fact is that those Korean gamecollectors I've been in contact with have never heard of the Vistar16 or seen one in rl.
So they must be pretty rare even in Korea...
