    Default Another weird all-in-one console/controller

    Yeah, there's another one. Here's the basic rundown...

    dreaGEAR Plug 'N' Play
    NES-on-a-chip based
    4xAA batteries
    Looks like the Color Dreams "NES" released not too long ago

    Games:
    Built Up Road - Pipe Dream clone
    Bolt Fighter - Vertical sh'mup
    Star Ally - ditto
    Valiant Rescue - Yeah, another one
    Zero Tiger - You aren't surprised, are you?
    Space Castle - Space Invaders clone
    Aero Engine - Yeah, it's a sh'mup, but it's a side scroller
    Last Cobra - Back to vertical scrolling
    Pool Pro - Basic 9 Ball game
    Smart Escape - Very basic overhead action/adventure, with password feature
    Jewel Master - Columns clone
    Move Fun - Weird puzzle game; slide tiles to make matches or something
    Ultra Doggy - Frogger clone
    Pinball Track - Extremely simple game; roll a marble through a tube and avoid holes
    Spin Ball - Same idea, but without the holes, and less time to reach the goal
    Insect Chase - Move a net and catch bugs
    Birdie Nest - Balance a bird on a stick, and catch eggs
    Bingo Zap - Roll the ball into the flashing hole; repeat ad infinitum
    Bump Car - Like Bump'n Jump, but without traffic
    GP Race - Overhead motorcycle racing
    Speedy Way-X - More motorcycle racing
    Road Bumper - More again, but you can ram opponents
    Excel Racing - Like a bizarre marriage of Pac-Man and Rally X
    Big Racing - Overhead car racing, similar to Intellivision "Auto Racing"
    VR Racing - "3D" motorcycle racing

    Also note that they seemed to grab a few fistfuls of sounds and tiles from Contra for whatever reason.

    I found this at the local K-Mart for $15, so if you want some new (but simple) NES games, go for it.

    I bought that same one about 6 months ago at Galyan's of all places. Not bad, a few decent games. The system itself works very well in my opinion. Unlike the junky Famiclone I bought at KB a few days ago...it's horrible, the D-pad doesn't work right, which is a shame because the 50-1 game selection is pretty good...

    Oh yeah...post #4000...I need a life.

    Galyans??? Heh, maybe now I'll have a reason to look in there from time to time. And I still need to pick up the Intellivision handheld...

    Yeah, in the past few months, the Galyan's stores here have added a corner of "indoor" games. And they had about 200 of these systems, they company that made it was different, but other than that...it's the same system.

    I also have another one with the exact same design that is only an 11-1. And all 11 games are on this system IIRC. I'm actually impressed by how solid this one feels...

    Yeah this one has been popping up all over. I've seen it in a few stores. Intresting enough it is using the same console case as the TV PLAY POWER (10 in one)by Technosource. This unit was released two years ago (picked mine up at Big lots) and has 10 of 25 the same games as the Maxx

    Game List:

    Balloon Pop
    Boxing
    Highway
    Raceway
    Submarine
    Hungry Worm
    Get 'Em
    Snow Boarding
    Drop 'Em
    Paddle Fun

    Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
