Coby V•ZON DVD player w/Master System?

[SomeGuyWithDSL]

Was reading this page mentioning the new Coby V•ZON portable DVD payer for kids, with "SEGA games" built-in.

 

I thought at first they must have stuck a Genny-on-a-chip in there, but as I was glancing at the screenshots it didn't strike me as 16-bit material (edit: plus the final screen says "Plays 8-bit Sega games" ... didn't see that til now).

 

Then I noticed there are only two buttons and a D-pad, which would indicate Game Gear / Master System instead of Genesis, if it is in fact based on some previous hardware. Has there been anything with a GG or MS on a chip before? I guess it could be ports to a NES chip, but that seems like a waste.

 

Anyone recognize the game in the first shot? Maybe we could compare it to the original? Second shot looks like a game selection screen with ECCO currently selected.

There's a lot of systems like this. Polaraid has one, Shinco has one, etc. The ones I see usually come with a disc full of ROMS. The ones I've seen are Genesis's.

Here's a Polaroid 8" with 30 games:

No clue what type of games. From what I remember the Shinco had 200 or 300 games. I just can't find a link right now.

 

EDIT: Here's a link to the non-portable Shinco 868. Region-free DVD player with over 450 Genesis/MegaDrive games:

Not so sure they make this anymore or make a model with games in it because their website is in Japanese.
