Micro TV Arcade (AKA Retro Games AKA Retro Play) Plug N Play Bootleg Console (200 in 1)

Micro TV Arcade (AKA Retro Games) Plug N Play Bootleg Console (200 in 1)

 

THIS POST IS STILL IN PROGRESS

 

The console and controller is so very tiny (about the size of an actual mouse) but is surprisingly not so bad compared to the other bootleg plug n plays I have tried. The buttons are solid and although the joystick is a little stiff, it is almost as responsive as the buttons which have a very quick response as they should do. It has me entertained for hours and hours just checking each and every title on here because their are just so many so, considering how cheap it is, it turned out pretty good value for money.

TV Power Play Intellivision Plug N Play Bootleg Console

TV Power Play Intellivision Plug N Play Bootleg Console

 

This is a weird one. The games are rather generic for the most part but after some research I found out most of these games are actually rips of games for the Intellivision; a retro console similar to the NES. I don't know much about this console but I could still tell these games have been stolen and reskinned and programmed in places so it is a bootleg version. Well so I thought but I'm not really sure if this is official or not considering how very similar if not complete ports these games are and how the copyright of the actual companies is all over it. There isn't much info on it so you tell me. It has 25 games on it.

Star Wars Plug N Play Bootleg Console

Star Wars Plug N Play Bootleg Console

 

I bought a Star Wars plug N play online which had 4 pixelated games on it. It was a pretty interesting find and had better graphics than the usual bootlegs. Not even sure if you can call it a bootleg per say as it didn't try to reskin any NES games or anything but it was still ripping off other game concepts but those are old concepts to begin with so maybe it is OK. I am still calling it bootleg though as I doubt it is made by the real company or endorsed by them in any way.

 

Here is a video of me playing it https://youtu.be/FITC3oCa-w0

 

There are not many screenshots of this so I provided my own so you can get the full picture.

There are actually a bunch of Star Wars themed Plug N plays just like this and have very similar games on them. I hope to play those to if I can get my hands on them but they seem to be rarer than this one.

Rip Off Info

 

Game 1) Super Fight is a reskinned version of Contra on NES

Game 2) Table Tennis (as far as I can tell) is a reskinned and programmed version of Pong on NES but I'm not sure

Game 3) Radish Field is a reskinned version of another game with a farmer planting crops on NES (don't know the name of the game yet. If you know then please tell me)

This game seems to be bootlegged a lot.

Game 4) Plush Dog is a reskinned version of a game where you hit mice with a hammer on NES (don't know the name of the game yet. If you know then please tell me)

This game is also bootlegged a lot.
