Dendy was produced in the early 1990's the company «Steepler», collected in Taiwan from Chinese parts to order «Steepler» and was distributed in the republics of the former USSR, especially Russia and Ukraine. Since the post-Soviet space NES never officially released, Dendy, which was widely distributed and available at a price at that time has earned great popularity - roughly the same, which was the original Famicom / NES in Japan and the United States.

Except for a few of their own Russian and Chinese developments, most of the games for Dendy was copied by pirates from the original, and not only games, licensed for Famicom / NES, but games with other prefixes that are on the Famicom never came out. In addition to these, there were cartridges «100 in 1» or even «9999 in 1», on which several games were repeated many times with variations of maps, or coloring the characters or the possibility of starting from different levels. Pirate cartridges for the Famicom, and suitable for its clones (which is the Dendy), produced and are on sale until now.
