Dendy Sold $100M in Russia… But I Realized It Was Trash After Playing THIS Game

The first video game I ever played was Mortal Kombat, then Sonic — and that’s when I realized…
Dendy might not be the best.

Growing up in the Soviet Union, we didn’t know what Sega or PlayStation even were. Dendy was all we had — a cloned console with pirated games and no official licenses.

But get this: in 1993, Dendy sold over 1 million units and made $100 million in revenue.
Adjusted for today, that’s like $400 million.
Wild, right?

Still — they never evolved. They never innovated.
They were built on imitation, not originality.
And that’s the lesson: copycats don’t last.
