Just stumbled on
this page which shows the "50 Games Plug 'N Play", which has a lot of the hacks from this POS, although there are a few I haven't seen before:
- Air Tiger (1942, I think)
- Monster (Sonson)
- Inclement Trip (Sort of looks like Ikari Warriors or Rygar, although I somehow doubt it's either of them. Knowing pirates, it's probably something awful like Zunou Senkan Galg)
- Magic Block (Magic Jewelry made to look like Columns, sort of)
- Pocky (Ninja Hattori-Kun)
- Hot Speed (Road Fighter)
- Winter Cup (Ice Hockey, looks identical to the original as far as I can tell)
- Bumping R-16 (Route-16 Turbo)
- Panzer Fly Car (I've seen this before, but the screenshot looks like a JungleTac game more than anything)
- Xterk-2 (Geimos. Judging by the title I'm guessing they intended it to be the sequel to Van-1 or something)
- Earth Guard (Volguard II)
- Rouge Brothers (Mario Bros.)
- Smart Acel (Super Arabian?)
- Brush Roll 2 (Brush Roller with a different title, I'm guessing)
The bloke who wrote the article claims that only 38 games are listed there, but I think the other 12 are covered up by that large sticker on the back. That said, there's definitely not 50; at least 4 of them are variations of Track & Field. Also worth pointing out that the page also gives some information on Manley, the company that distributed it.
Edit 2: Turns out I was right on that assumption, if
this topic is anything to go by. It also seems to include Diamond, as in that awful Arkanoid ripoff and more Track & Field repeats. Pity I still can't find any info on that Inclement Trip game.
Oh, and while looking at that I also found a page about the
30-in-1 TV games, which erroneously labels F22 as a hack of B-Wings. And the pirates seem to have made the effort to change Mario's name in the Wrecking Crew hack. Also, why is it that with these systems, Door Door and Track & Field are the only games left intact?
And as pointed out there, it's published by the same douches that thought the Snuggie was a good idea.
Edit: Looking through the site I looked at another clone of interest, the "
Plug & Play". (which is about as creative as my username :rolleyes: ) I could be wrong, but I think the blue dog on the menu is taken from somewhere or another. Looking at the games:
- City A 2000 is a Battle City hack judging by the name.
- Winbolton Champ looks like Tennis, and I'm pretty sure the name is a really bad misspelling of Wimbledon Champ.
- W.W.F. Law, as well as having a trademark-infringing name, is a hack of M.U.S.C.L.E.
- Top Gun Mission is just Sky Destroyer.
- Autumn Hunt is a really bad hack of Duck Hunt, where the dog is now wearing a blanket for no particular reason. Also note the Game Star copyright, the same company that made those awful 48-in-1 computer Famiclone cartridges.
- On The Road and such are just Road Fighter, except the "Fuel" graphic has now been changed to "Food!"
Also funny is that despite being a mere 15-in-1, over half of the games are repeats.
