Dendy was a hardware clone of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) popular in Russia and other nations of the former Soviet Union. It was released in a variety of different models under a variety of different names, including the Dendy Junior and the Dendy Junior II, each of which added slightly different features (the Dendy Junior II, for instance, included a third joystick port to allow the use of a light gun). Since no officially licensed version of the NES was ever released in the former USSR, the Dendy was easily the most popular video game console of its time in that setting, and enjoyed a degree of fame roughly equivalent to the that experienced by the NES/Famicom in North America and Japan.
