DreamGEAR 75-in-1

[taizou]

ah yeah, so it is. im slightly disappointed, but also not surprised.. whenever I think one of these games has decent music, it always turns out to be stolen

Apologies for reviving a rather dead topic (again), but I recently found a couple of things that are a bit interesting.

A sprite in Aquarium is stolen from Yo Noid (the little pizzas)
Mirror Devil World is a baaaaaaaaaad clone of Kickle Cubicle
The music in Knocking is an 8bit rendition of Darling Clementine

Also, many of the games were discovered on a Onestation 15000 in 1 cartridge which came with a GBA SP ripoff.

Also, I just noticed that the font for the score in Man in Red is stolen from Silkworm for some crazy reason. I'm guessing originality wasn't Nice Code's priority when it came to making these games.

Also, I just found out that Magic Bubble is actually Russia with a better color palette, The stars on the menu are taken from Sky Zone, a game from the Games Xplosion that isn't included on the Dreamgear 75-in-1, and finally, Dreamgear has a website! And yes, it's still active! It's located at

www.dreamgear.net

And by looking at their plug and play page, It seems they have a whole range of ripoff products! The systems I've seen rip off:
-Nintendo 64
-Playstation
-Dreamcast
-Guitar Hero
and...
-Nintendo Wii! :faint:

Is this the 8-bit Vii all over again? And they now have a redesigned Gamestation (With FIRE!) and a plug-n-play controller that could very well be the Games Xplosion all over again!  :shock:

It seems there's more behind these people than we originally thought. They have a TON of Nice Code/Trump Grand software!

I like how the Wireless Tennis Rally has a controller that looks just like the ZuDuGo 51-in-1 or whatever it was called. The latter apparently has Nice Code games on it as well.

ha wow, i never really looked that closely at DreamGear's site before, but the sports games on their "Plug N' Play Wireless Motion Control" console are Nanjing's. & then there are 121 mini games, i wonder what they are?

Nanjing? Shenzen Nanjing? They made sports games? Or am I thinking of the wrong Nanjing?

[taizou]

yeah its that Nanjing as far as i know they actually developed the games and someone else made (at least some of) the consoles theyre on - they registered the copyright on them and the Chinese versions have their logo everywhere. Although they might have outsourced them I guess.here they are on Nanjing's site anyway: http://en.sznanjing.com.cn/Default.aspx?PN=products&TypeID=8163&ItemIndex=3&Tip=1

[Doomkid]

Wow... 11 in 1 bundle for PS3 move is what I see on their site... I bet that is the cheapest plastic ever, probably similar to what those balls in a McDonalds play-place are made out of....

(Here's the link, since their site is ridiculously difficult to navigate.)

Apparently TigerDirect sells this thing for $25. I'm tempted to buy it just for the train-wreck factor.

[Ninja-Kun]

I saw the Dreamgear 75-in-1 only one time here in my city. And thanks God my cousin convinced me not to buy it, it was sold by an outrageously high price. A week later I came back and it wasn't there, so I guess a rich kid was bitching like hell in another part of the city.

[codeman38]

Oh, also, Game Sporz is probably Macro Winners. Note that the model number of the boxing thing starts in "BS"-- and that'd explain how they have both Nice Code and Cube Tech games.

Apparently Game Sporz also made a ping-pong game. Which is, of course, Cube Tech's.

found an auction listing with some screenshots of the motion console's mini games:

they look like Nice Code games, I think they might be VT03 versions.
