Knockoff thread? Also bootlegs, fakes, missprints and mistakes, and even official merch that's just fucking weird, why not

ok call me autistic but i always considered knockoffs and bootlegs to be two different things
a knockoff is something meant to mimic a real product to leech off its popularity, so instead of, say, spongebob squarepants, you'll get his shitball cheapass chinese cousin "robert washcloth" or something

on the other hand, a bootleg, like the phenomenon of "bootlegging" where people entering a country under prohibition would smuggle in real alcoholic drinks from overseas in their boots or pant legs, is more akin to something where they take real games but just package them and sell them in an unofficial way
like all these fake game disks and collections, the games are the real deal, somebody just burned them all on the same disk in their basement and slapped a fake sticker on it

For the record I read it all and I posit that knock offs are sold as serious products and are often claimed to be original, while bootlegs are the unlicensed, unofficial use of a famous mascot with deliberate changes to the name or appearance, like sonic if he was green and had antennas but otherwise anatomically identical and was called lightspeed larry
>>
>>719311361
i think it's the opposite, a knockoff would be lightspeed larry, whereas a bootleg is "check it out guys it's totally sonic, yeah he's kinda lumpy looking and you don't remember him coming in a PC rom disk alongside freddie fish and some jonny test game, but trust me it's him, it's sonic!"

so wtf was the deal with Vietnamese crystal? why is it like this? was it translated to Vietnamese and then back or did someone with no understanding of the language try and somehow write the game from scratch? like why is the 'official' version in English and why is it so borked

was it made for Vietnamese kids or soldiers deployed in Vietnam or what? is that just the state they found it in?

This Finnish children's song cassette full of bootleg songs, sold around the economic depression of early 90s. It has songs relating to Mario, Bart Simpson (not the rest of the family), "Teenage Mutants" (Ninja Turtles), Batman, etc. It's rather clear that whoever wrote these songs did not know much about the source material, and you can see it from the lyrics which are mostly just stuff the writer thought would fit. The Mario song, for example, is singing about him more as a hero to all children and being a super man, than anything about saving princesses. What sends my sides to orbit is the fact that he tried to emulate NES bit sounds in the beginning but just gave up.

What's the weirdest thing you guys ever saw knockoff'd? Like some shit you never expected would even have a knockoff market

Pic sorta rel, this was shocking when it first began but now it sorta makes sense

>>719315080
I agree, like those Obvious Plant toys, it's the bootleg equivalent of "ironic autism" when normalfags try and make something akin to Sonichu and it just reeks of tryharding and insincerity
>>
>>719315597
Ok, one more thing, I'm really certain that the song writer must have known about Mario's Time Machine, because lyrics mention things like:
>he knows history
>traveling through time
>>
>>719315597
Olisin voinut vannoa että tossa kasetilla oli myös Ritariässän tunnarikin, mutta muistin kait väärin. Jollain mun vastaavalla budjetti kasetilla oli sekin.
