The Topguy (also spelled "Top Guy", 頂尖小子 in Chinese) is a handheld Famiclone made by Kingway Electronics around 1993-1994[1][2]. Its model number was "King-006"[1].
It is the first known Famiclone handheld with its own built-in LCD screen, predating the GameAxe by several years. The screen is 2.7 inches, said to be very blurry[1], but it can also be connected to a TV via RF. It accepts 60-pin Famicom cartridges and additionally has a 9-pin controller port and 15-pin expansion port. For portable use it requires 6 AAA batteries which are said to last only 1 hour[1], but can also be connected to DC power.
According to Super Gamer magazine (albeit in an article which falsely described it as a "colour Gameboy" from Japan) [3] only 1000 units were produced.
Another version exists which lacks the LCD screen and has a sticker in its place, requiring connection to a TV to be used.
