came across this on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/ActionStar-Gaming-System-built-Games/dp/B004TZG8EO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
seems to be a famiclone, it has 200 games built in and if you zoom in on the back of the box, one of them looks like a hack of Hummer's Dragon Running with people instead of dinosaurs...

but there are none in stock and I can't find them for sale anywhere else. "Newbie Gaming" seem to have put out a press release about it in April and although there's a page about it on their website, its not actually linked from the products page or homepage. maybe it was never released?

Edit: Anyway I just sent the company an email to find out what the deal is with it. So we'll see. (if they reply)

Judging by the games on the back, it's probably best if you avoid it. If anything, it just looks like a rehoused DreamGEAR plug 'n play with Wii clone controls.

Yeah most likely. But if it's cheap and theres Hummer stuff on it I might give it a shot.
seems like its made by Trump Grand: http://trumpgrand.en.alibaba.com/product/342023065-212306788/Interactive_200_in_1_game_console.html

Well, that would definitely explain the combination of Nice Code and Hummer Team games, given that Trump Grand's consoles have featured both...

On the back, I spotted a few Games Xplosion games (will be dumped soon) as well as track and field clones. That hack of Dragon Running looks interesting, hopefully we'll see a full game list, as I can probably identify most of them. Also, on the back, I noticed Wonder Ball, a game that was on my DreamGEAR 86-in-1.
