Most of the games on this system are clones, ports, or derivatives of existing western games, but there are some I can't place. That Pereval game looks like Freddie Hardest, but it actually plays a bit differently. The first screenshot I posted is from a game called Superman that looks familiar, but I can't figure out if it's a clone or not.
Found another pile o' games.

Some of the mutant versions are kind of hilarious.
These suck so much they're awesome. That Ms Pac-Man art keeps cracking me up. A lot of this stuff seems to be from the '90s, at the least the ones that list the years. I wonder which games came out during the communist era.
Most of them, I think. But it's generally pretty easy to tell, heh. The ones that look professional have later dates, but the clunky ones mostly seem to be 91 and before. UVL has a table of what games came out what year. Don't know if it's perfectly accurate, but it seems like a lot.
These are all products of the Gorbachev era which was legally kind of weird, I think. I think between 87 and 91 you could have a private company to develop games, but not any intellectual property rights, hence all the clones and rip offs and such. On the tail end though there do seem to be some more professional efforts with real licenses, like the Return of the Jedi game.
I was incorrectly remembering the collapse of the Sovier Union being 1990 instead of 1991. And that Superman game looks familiar to me too, at least the bubble reminds me of something on the Speccy.
It was the very end of 1991, too (Dec 26), which makes it nice and easy to tell when there is a date given.
