did they play vidya in soviet union era?
We had Soviet-version of Pong in 80s. But it's not very common
We had arcade machines and Game&Watch analogs
most players had Spectrum and C64 clones
in the end of 80s many people had PC and so appeared Tetris
>Dendy (Russian: Дéнди) is a Taiwanese hardware clone of the Family Computer (the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System), produced for the Russian market. It was released in the early 1990s by the Steepler company. 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 region and enjoyed a degree of fame roughly equivalent to that experienced by the NES/Famicom in North America and Japan. In 1992, Dendy was selling in Russia for 39,000 rubles[citation needed] (roughly 70–80 USD[1]); by 1994, over one million Dendy units were sold in Russia,[2] and the price was roughly $35.
No. Only few experimental and semi-homemade vidias. ZX spectrum and clones were more popular in Soviet
oh, i see
Yes. Apple II clone made in Bulgaria named 'agat' was widely used for gaming.
>The console had its own animated Russian television advertisement with the phrase "Dendy, Dendy! We all love Dendy! Dendy – everyone plays!" Later shifted to the phrasing "Dendy - the new reality". Demand for the console was very high, bringing attention to the console. By April 1993, Steepler had four regional distributors and had generated 500 million rubles in revenue.[4]
>The Dendy elephant logo was designed by Russian animator Ivan Maximov.
>Though Steepler quickly filled a nearly empty niche, the Western gaming market still was not interested in Russia at the time. For a while, the Dendy's main competitors were similar products from China. It was not until 1994 that a competitor, the Sega console produced by Nisho Iwai and Forrus, was introduced to the market.
>Vector-06C (Russian: Beктop-06Ц) is a home computer with unique graphics capabilities that was designed and mass-produced in USSR in the late 1980s. It was manufactured by the Minsk Computer Production Association.
>The frame buffer of Vector-06C is unusual for home computers. The memory is organized as 4 bit planes, palette index of each individual pixel is formed from individual bits in 4 planes. Thus the highest colour mode has 24=16 simultaneously displayed colours. The bit planes are defined as follows: a byte represents a horizontal span of 8 pixels. Next byte in video memory represents a span of 8 pixels above it and so on. Thus a bit plane in 256×256 mode can be viewed as 8-pixel wide columns, growing bottom-to-top, left-to-right; whole screen is thus covered by 32 columns.

>Due to the versatility and wide hardware capabilities Vector can be used for education, work and entertainment. As a gaming system it surpassed most of the other Soviet PC thanks to its unique multi-color palette and reasonably fast graphics, smooth hardware vertical scrolling, capabilities of the hardware overlay up to 4 image plans, 3-voices sound chip, a fairly large amount of RAM. It was created hundreds of games in assembler and thousands in Basic for Vector. Many games ported from the MSX standard, and almost without any changes (Rise Out, Putup, Alibaba, Eric, Binary Land, Pac-Man, Pairs, Stop the express, and others), and less from the ZX Spectrum and IBM PC (Exolon, Color Lines, Boulder Dash, Cybernoid, Filler, Best of the Best, and others). Many games developed specially for Vector: Ambal, Grotohod, Polet (Flight), Planet of Birds, Sea Hunter, Death Fight, Cyber Mutant and others. Wide graphics capabilities in many cases allowed with absolute accuracy to simulate the MSX, Spectrum, IBM PC and other PCs.
>With optional floppy disk extension, CP/M version 2.2 was adopted. This allowed a broad range of CP/M software to be used on Vector.

What? Dendy was russian brand?
Never seen something like that. Is that something like a radio from the 80s?
Yes.
>In August 1994, Incombank and Steepler announced plans to start up a joint business venture called Dendy, in which Incombank would contribute capital and receive 30% of profits.[5] At the end of 1994, two more Dendy rivals (also NES clones) appeared: the Kenga, manufactured by Lamport, and the Bitman, distributed by R-Style and Subor (Cюбop).
>In November 1994, the newly created Dendy company signed an agreement with Nintendo, in which they were forbidden from promoting Sega products and given exclusive distribution rights to the SNES in Russia.[6]
>Modern Dendy consoles, which can still be found alongside Chinese products in many markets, are manufactured in China and have no relation to the Steepler company, which discontinued operations in 1996. According to one version, Steepler signed a contract with Nintendo agreeing to sell not only consoles, but game cartridges as well. Given that licensed cartridges cost several times more than pirated ones, Steepler soon found that it was unable to sell them profitably, resulting in the company's demise.
>millenials
Not this exactly, but we used to have the Chinese rip-off "Ziliton".
We had Chinese manufactured compatible clones of them. That, or modded original consoles to allow pirated cartridges/disks.
Dendy was a NES clone. As a bonus to being cheap, it also wasn't regionlocked, so we had access to some additional games that never made it to the West.
When it was the time to chose between Megadrive and SNES we chose the former, as their cartridges were much easier to pirate (one licensed game could cost you several monthly paychecks), and Nintendo was eventually forgotten. That's why it's not so popular in Russia nowadays as it relies heavily on nostalgia, which we don't have much of.
2bh, I was born in 2001 so I can't be the millennial generation.
The most popular USSR home computer
>The Radio-86RK (Russian: Paдиo-86PК) is a build-it-yourself home computer designed in Soviet Union. It was featured in the popular Radio (Russian: Paдиo) magazine for radio hams and electronics hobbyists in 1986. The letters RK in the title stands for the words Radio ham's Computer (Russian: Paдиoлюбитeльcкий кoмпьютep). Design of the computer was published in a series of articles describing its logical structure, electrical circuitry, drawings of printed circuit boards and firmware.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Computer could be built entirely out of standard off-the-shelf parts. Later it was also available in a kit form as well as fully assembled form.
Absolutely no idea what this is.

>Sega Channel was an online game service developed by Sega for the Genesis video game console, serving as a content delivery system. Launching in December 1994, Sega Channel was provided [...] through cable television services by way of coaxial cable.

What are some of your favorite games for the system?
See-gah Mega Drive
This was my first jRPG/tRPG and changed my views on what games could be.
I also liked the "Haunted" game. Too bad it turned out to be pretty shitty when I replayed it many years later.
My favourites as a kid were Comix-zone, Ristar, and RoboCop Versus The Terminator
I also had Haunting and yeah, it's shit
Never played Warsong
>Comix-zone
couldn't finish it as a kid. I had it for maybe two weeks before I traded it in for something else
Simply as "sega"
>Comix-zone
>couldn't finish it as a kid.
Do you remember why? This game had obstacles like barrels and such which you had to punch to get them out of the way and proceed further. And doing so fucking reduced your health. This was such a dumb thing on an otherwise amazing game.
