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.
