What's this thread

[Awesome Panda]

Just found yet another PVP Station which claims to have 8888 games. What's weird about it is that "Super Mario Bros. & Felix the Cat" game, which looks like it could either be Super Mario Bros. 3 or Felix the Cat. And the title screen is taken from Ninja Gaiden II. (or III, I forget which one)

[Ninja-Kun]

How many different games these things normally carry?

[Awesome Panda]

As far as I'm aware, usually between 50 and 100. I think up to 12 games are 256 or above, while the rest are the standard 1st gen Famicom games. (Naturally, it'd help if someone put up a list of the games) I'd actually buy this thing, but I can't given the situation I'm in ATM. Also, LOL at your new avatar.

Yes, I'm still waiting for someone to have the decency to post a game list. It's kinda a shame most of the titles in the first page of the menu are probably just lazy hacks of games with Mario face instead of the original character. And thanks, I actually wish to give both Busy Bar and Loop Tennis a try

I just took a photograph of the Sport Vii I saw in a store here in Croatia, but the damn computer can't find it on my mobile phone! (I connected it via the USB cable).

And thanks, I actually wish to give both Busy Bar and Loop Tennis a try [/quote]I think I can guess what most of them are:

1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Hack of Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu
3. Hack of another game (I can't remember what all of the different "Mario" hacks are)
4. Felix the Cat (Hudson version, I'm hoping)
5. Hack of Kid Niki
6. Hack of Joe & Mac
7. Super Mario Bros.
8. Contra
9. Spider-Man
10. Hack of Somari

Most of these games are included on a fair few newer Famiclone systems.

I'm guessing that's the one with the infrared sensors, unlike most other Wii clones.

[taizou]

anyone know about these two?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9828585778& "21st century Final Fantasy X" or something
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=6864171982& a 2 in 1 with Rockman World 2 and "Digimon Pendulum"?

[codeman38]

I'm guessing Digimon Pendulum is some sort of virtual-pet-raising game, given both its name (one of Bandai's virtual pet toys) and the picture on the cart (same). No idea whether it's an original game or a hack or what, though.

[Awesome Panda]

I'm guessing that Digimon Pendulum is a hack of one of the Tamagotchi games for the Game Boy. (For some crazy reason, there's several of them) Not sure why anyone would put Rockman World 2 on over any of the other games in the series though.

Also, I'm willing to bet that Final Fantasy X is actually Fantasywar or whatever it's called.

[Ninja-Kun]

Turns out Cheetahmen was absolutely wrong. The Famiclone I was talking about the other day doesn't brings 6 different games, it has 5 different games And now, no more off-topics from me.

Anyway, I randomly stumbled upon this page while searching for info for the Power Joy Navigator. Found a few interesting things on there (well, interesting to me at least):

Hoyle Family TV Gaming System - Seems to have the standard card and board games, and to me it almost looks Nice Code-like. Then again, it could've been by Hoyle themselves for all I know.

Game City - Yet another N64 controller ripoff, except slightly different. Apparently has 64 built-in games, although given that the first 13 games are highlighted in a different colour, I doubt that's the case. Apparently includes Dragon Ball Z (presumably the Hummer Team game) and Power Rangers. (I'm guessing that's one of the Super Sentai games for the Famicom)

Golden Nugget Casino - Looks a bit like the Wikid plug n play thing I ran into once. Games look like they're by JungleTac and the unit is published by Majesco, oddly enough.

Lara Tennis - That's gotta be one of the weirdest names I've ever seen for a Famiclone. The console (apart from the main unit) looks suspiciously like the Ultimate TV Game I have.

PocketGame - Blatant ripoff of the PS1 with an almost-as-blatant ripoff of the Pokémon logo stuck on the top. I love how the lightgun looks almost like a real pistol.

Power Joy Navigator - Includes the ex-Hummer games as well as Nice Code's junk. I was pondering buying it off eBay, but the only ones I can find are charging over £15 for it which is ridiculous for these games IMO. Apparently includes Hummer's mahjong solitaire game. (Which I'm betting is "Three Country" on the menu) Wondering what the Finger DDR's like myself.

Might have missed some others, but I'm lazy like that.

the Sudoku TV game on there seems to have that game too, along with Reversi, Dominoes, Checkers & Backgammon all of which are in VT03 form on the Overmax. There is a sudoku game on there too but its not the same one, and you have to use the second player controller to enter any number other than 6 o_o

i wonder if they were going for Brian Lara Cricket and got their sports mixed up? there was a Famicom port of the Mega Drive version of that game listed on Famicom no Tobira (which seems to have disappeared unfortunately) called International Cricket 2000, or something like "Brain Lara Crieket" on the label. which had baseball players on it. naturally. for the longest time I ignored it because I assumed it was just a hack of some licensed cricket game or other, but it actually isn't.

Well that looks interesting - I've never heard of Underground Mission, Downhill Racer or Navigator .. I guess Navigator is F22 renamed after the console, since theres a screenshot of it but it doesnt appear in the menu (unless its further down somewhere).

i wonder if Finger DDR is the game from that dance mat 3 in 1 on ABABsoft's site? Or I guess it might be Inventor's DDR clone (although probably not the one with sampled music) if F22 is on there.. or even some Nice Code dancing game.

either way those later Power Joys have some interesting stuff on them - i still want to get hold of the 30 in 1 cart for the PJ Supermax, its supposed to come with a 30 and a 60 but mine was missing the 30. I saw one for sale in a Cash Converters that only had the 60 too. I dunno where all the 30s are going. Maybe Trump Grand accidentally (or on purpose) shipped a batch of them out without it.

oh and all your links point to the same place. that website is kinda weird.

If there's ones with 30/60-in-1s and another with a 50-in-1, then there might be games exclusive to one or the other. Personally, I suspect that the DDR game is the ex-Hummer Team one myself. Knowing them, they probably ended up reusing music from Titenic and Kart Fighter. I doubt it's a NC one, because I think if they did make one, then chances are we'd have known about it by now.

[codeman38]

The EVG2000 site also lists a Bicycle card game from TechnoSource that's... pretty much identical to the Hoyle one, at least software-wise. And which appears to be developed by Nice Code as well.

Also, there are a lot of JungleTac consoles on there!
