A famiclone

Terminator video console is a famiclone: an 8 bit gaming system that uses the technology originally created by Nintendo for their NES system. It was widely popular in the 90s in Bulgaria, Serbia and probably other countries of the area. Due to economical restraints, the third generation gaming systems(such as Sega Mega Drive or SNES) weren't popular in such countries, which is why the anterior generation remained highly popular. In particular Terminator was highly successful, leaving a permanent mark in Bulgaria's pop culture and 90's youth, establishing itself as antonomasia for 8bit video gaming.

The system used original or pirated NES cartridges, . Most versions of the terminator were bundled with a cartridge such as "1,000,000 in 1", only one small portion of that being separate games and the rest just renamed versions of the latter. Normally, popular games such as: "Mario Bros" or "Duck Hunt" were present. They were renamed though, probably in an attempt to avoid law suits. The system was sold with a light gun, which also resembled the original Nintendo gun accessory except for a sleeker and more futuristic design. It is difficult to determine an exact prize for the system, but in Gabrovo, Bulgaria in the middle nineties one could be bought for the rough equivalent of 10 euros.
