A game system clone is a third-party remake of a game system. In many cases, they are bootlegged/pirated/unlicensed. These kind of game systems are often sold online.

Game system clones come in a variety of styles, shell shapes, etc. In some cases, a game system clone will have built-in games, and a cartridge slot for expansion. One of the most cloned game systems of all time is the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
