Mega Duck and Cougar Boy
Did these things even have a single game worth playing in their entire library?

I tried it, it's just a clone of snake. One of the slowest and easiest clones I have seen, and with an intro that is basically a shitpost.

This very gif just transported me back to when /gif/ was actually a place for gifs and not what it is now.

Ant Soldiers looks like a nifty Lemmings Clone

Why didn't they make RPGs and Pokemon clones for it?

It died before Pokemon was a thing. Lots of Tetris clones though.

If she isn’t willing to do something like that for your sake at least every now and then, she ain’t worth it.

What baffles me is that it's not like the hardware was that lacking. It had a similar display to the Gameboy, same amount of memory, and roughly the same CPU (I think think they flat out copied/cloned the Gameboy CPU) yet every game made for it is trash tier that would be insulting to even the most basic Gameboy launch titles. Granted, I think it's video hardware was lacking compared to the Gameboy.

I guess maybe no competent dev cared to come within a hundred feet of it, or even knew of it's existence.

It's a Hong Kong original. There was no point in working on it when the GayBoy was right there with a FAR bigger market share. All that leaves you us is with companies that tend to make bootlegs for more popular systems, so what do you expect?

Yeah but it was released in a few regions.

The Devs were fucking Chinks, at best you'll get Hummer Team tier shit, and grating music.

You would think they would at least make a single decent game though, we have chink demakes of games like FF7 that are decent. How is the best they could come up with for this thing clones of games like tetris or snake?

How comes there's no emulator?

I think some Gameboy emulators support it since the hardware is similar. My MiSTer has a Mega Duck core but when I loaded it the core appeared to just be the Gameboy core, worked for both loading Mega Duck and Gameboy games.

There are also a few patches to make some Gameboy games run on the Mega Duck

are any of the games actually okay, when played on a screen you can actually see shit with?

Snake roy is neat
Railway is a decent pipe dream clone but only playable on an old LCD
Beast fighter has a hilarious intro and ending
Most games are clones of 1980s arcade games and vary in quality
BUT basically all of the Megaduck games are also available for game boy on various multicarts also made by Sachen, I think the one exception is the Tetris clone+Mahjong multicart (they seemed to only have been sold in Asia) and the one game made by the company which actually made the Megaduck (The brick wall)
The Megaduck was after all a hardware clone of the game boy, just changed enough so it wasn't directly compatible with gameboy games. There even were some gameboy games unofficially ported to it recently

It was made to be a cheaper competitor to the gameboy. But Nintendo lowered their prices soon after so it became pointless.

Most of its games are masterpieces compared to lots of games on e.g. the Supervision or Gamate or the Game Master.
