LOL! I was in Spain a few years back, I think it it was one of the Canary Islands, anyway the part we were in was called Playas De La Americas, which translates into Beach of the Americans.

Anyway, my family and I decided to go for a walk up to the market which was only 5 minutes up the road. The market was a typical Spanyard setting, fake Nike, Reebok etc, Timmy Hulfeeger, Nikbok, Rebbike ya know all the typical fake brands that they create to se to the dopey travelers who dont give a rats rear end as it is 2 quid per 50 shirts. (lol)

Now.. the clothes dont bother me at all, make fake ones if you want by all means, but we noticed a gamestand selling Gameboy games etc (Spanish trade Mark) Also they were selling a console, which looked incredibly like the PS1.. but it had an upside down N64 logo on it. The pad was a modified version of the dual-shock pad but only had the one analogue stick and 2 shoulder buttons.

The pad also had 1 middle button which was green and also had 4 other buttons which were A, B,R and 5.. and it ws called The FUNSTATION!
Thats were I drew the line! I went nuts at the guy askin him how he made it etc he looked so baffled! It really was amazing, so he gave me Tetris 2 on Gameboy and said "FREE" and then closed his stall!

My family were in hysterics, I wish I had a camera that day, I would have taken a picture of it and posted it on the net for sheer humour! What a rip though. I wonder how the games were played?
Ah well!
Thanks for reading!

Probably using a bat and ball, and some rotten cod stolen from the North Sea.
