Another self-contained system

[Nostalgic]

It appears that self-contained video game systems are becoming popular again.

 

Yesterday in the mail I got a catalog from Spilbury, a puzzle and games seller. One new item being offered is a Protech Video Games System. It has 52 games built into a single controller that plugs directly into a TV. Games that are listed are Arabian Champion, Raid On Bungling Bay, Zippy Race, Track & Field, Tennis, Formula 1 Race, Golf, Sky Destroyer, Baseball, Antarctic Adventure, Excitebike, and Ninja Fight. The unit is on sale for $29.88.

 

If you want to see it, go to Spilsbury and search for item number 2959.

 

I am curious... what system did these games come from? At first glance I'd guess the NES, but since I never had one, I'm not sure.

That's one of the many Famiclone systems, Others include; Game Station arcade, Power PLayer, Power Joy, and Dr Boy. The Dr boy seems quite interesting, as it looks like a gameboy, has 1 built in game that plays on the lcd screen, and includes a 60 in 1 game cart which when hooked to the TV it plays NES pirate games. You can sometimes find these on Ebay, but Beware of The Gameplayer 128 in 1 game system, there's a seller who's trying to pass it off as SNES, but it's clearly 8-bit.
