Personally, I have seen hundreds of these things in malls across America, containing games such as Super Mari Brothers, an amazingly well done cover-up for a real game I bet nobody could figure out the name of. Some of these could easily be mistaken for their real-life counterparts, but others are hilariously terrible. Here they are, the top ten most shameless game console knock-offs.
