nosweargamer Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I confess. I like Plug n Play units. Perhaps its something about having a bunch of console or arcade games from my childhood all packed into a single joystick. They also seem to be one of my most popular review features on my channel. So I decided to make a thread highlighting them, in case you enjoy them too. I'll start with a unit I just got from a trade here on the forums from Rowsdower! It's the Namco Pac-Man TV Games unit by Jakks Pacific: Atari Creep, Lost Dragon, RickR and 3 others 6 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Well, great. Now I have to watch ALL the plug and play reviews.

chas10e Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 PnP's are great & you touched on their charm ... their colorful design & pretty accurate gameplay if you see these games in an arcade don't pass them by ... Bosconian plays better in the arcade because of the 8 way joystick as opposed to the 4 way joystick on this unit you'll see in attract mode ship moving diagonally as it should be able to. I had toyed with the idea of finding a way to eliminate "the re-stricter plate" on the inside but didn't want to destroy my unit. jmjustin6, nosweargamer and Lost Dragon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Am I the only one that thinks the "bad" reviews are the most fun to watch? The Coleco review is classic. nosweargamer and Lost Dragon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas10e Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Am I the only one that thinks the "bad" reviews are the most fun to watch? The Coleco review is classic. the review wasn't bad , just the games were bad .... & the names were NOT changed to protect the innocent I hadn't ever tried the coleco one myself ...it just looked bad ... but it was certainly better than it looked by the review ... so great job on all PnP's I have seen so far Lost Dragon and nosweargamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas10e Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 And here's the Wheel Of Fortune Pnp (I like it with this units create special controllers for the game) yeah this thing is great family fun ... I got this the same time I got my Vectrex & after setting that up I was testing out the PnP when some of my nephews arrived we played the PNP for hours & my Vectrex got very little attention :unsure: instead of playing like they do on the TV show with a courteous clap as the wheel spins , they will chant "Bankrupt - Lose a Turn" hoping the get the control of the wheel. the gold colored one you mentioned near the end of the video get's rid of the "D-pad". letter selection is done with the wheel that spins left & right.
