NSG's Plug n Play Reviews

[nosweargamer]

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:

I too love these things.  They are inexpensive and fun. 

[RickR]

Well, great.  Now I have to watch ALL the plug and play reviews.  Bye bye afternoon productivity.

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.

What's funny is I still need to review the mini atari joystick pnp I got from the junk box which I thought came from you!

[RickR]

It sure did! That would be neat.

Here's the first one I did for the Ms Pac Man Plug n Play

(Being one of my earlier episodes, I was still trying to find my groove)

Here's one that started the modern plug n play movement: The Atari TV Games Joystick

[nosweargamer]

And here's the Non-Coleco Coleco Plug n Play

[RickR]

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

[nosweargamer]

Here's one for the EA Sports PnP

[nosweargamer]

And here's the Wheel Of Fortune Pnp (I like it with this units create special controllers for the game)

 

[nosweargamer]

And here's the Genesis Legend Pnp that Leo ended up getting out of the first junk box

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.

Here's the Colecovision Flashback:

[nosweargamer]

And here's the Intellivision Flashback:

[nosweargamer]

And here the Space Invaders Retro Arcade, which should catch me up on the old ones.

I hope to have an Activision Plug n Play review done in the next week or so.

 

[StormSurge]

Here's one for the EA Sports PnP

Do you have the Atari Paddle plug and play?  I like that one a lot.

Just in time for the PnP chat tonight:

Just in time for the PnP chat tonight:

I got one of these as a gift wanting a key-chain ...

 

it did fit in my pocket ok , but was worried about breaking the stick in my pocket , it did sort of fold off to one side , I took it out of daily use there & do use it as a key-chain for my Atari cabinet

 

I would like the paddle key-chain for the other door & perhaps my car keys ...

 

but ebay prices seem to high on these for my blood, waiting for one to show up in a thrift

Thanks to jmjustin6 for this one: Fantastic Four:
