The counterfeit systems housed pirated games like Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros.
An alleged vintage gaming trafficking ring was recently busted up in Italy. Authorities say 12,000 counterfeit copies of the Atari 2600, SNES, and Sega Genesis , collectively housing millions of pirated games, have been seized and will be destroyed. Now, 12,000 fewer people will be subjected to running Super Mario Bros. on an emulator. Imagine the horror.
Police arrested nine men in connection with the fake consoles, and charged them with trading in counterfeit goods. It certainly sounds like these counterfeit consoles were your run-of-the-mill emulation devices running stolen ROMs, the type you see pop up at mall kiosks around the holidays—just potentially in plastic housings that replicated the look of the originals.
