HDN Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 It's funny that you post this. This was actually my first Plug and Play! I got it from my cousin back in the early 2010's. I remember seeing this thing on store shelves in the Shopko toy department. This thing lasted a long time! What's more, I also decided to break my unit out like, last week! Unfortunately, the cord on it is all messed up. You have to hold it in a very specific manner in order to get a stable picture up on the screen. I was considering posting a thread on perhaps finding a way to fix that, as I have heard that this is a common problem with Plug and Play units in general. If I win, this unit would be a nice replacement while the other one becomes a nice shelf piece. Or I could fix it up and have two of them! Play one in each hand. My favorite Plug and Play, however, is the Intellivison Flashback. The Intellivison is a system that you need the original controller to play properly, and this unit does a very good job at bringing the INTV experience to the modern age. I do wish it came with all of the overlays, but whatever. The emulation is also not 100% accurate from what I have seen, but it seems to work alright. My main gripe with it, however, is that it doesn't have that awesome (-ly bad) song that plays throughout Intellivision Lives! "And now I'm bleeding from this incision. I really miss my Intellivision..." I know there's a Colecovision Flashback out there, and that's one I would LOVE to try sometime! It looks better than the INTV one, but I can't judge it as I haven't played it yet. Thanks, as always, for doing these giveaways, @nosweargamer. You are great at bringing people over to the site. I mean, you brought me over. That's either a bad thing or a good thing, depending how you look at it! nosweargamer, Justin and socrates63 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 My first Plug n Play was the Namco Ms. Pac-Man, iirc. I can't believe that this thing is still sold in retail. StormSurge, ataridude, Justin and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going WAAYYY back now. My friend had this too. The Atari one was the first one I personally own--wait a second. No, not that either. I just got a flashback. It was this thing, though I never played it much. Whoops. I completely forgot about these things! Guess I was wrong. nosweargamer, Justin and socrates63 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'm disqualifying myself because I won the last one. But I still want to share my favorite plug and play. Mine is the one that has the twisty knob that allows one to play Pole Position with analogue steering. I think there's more than one of the Jakk's units that have that feature. So either of those.

RockyRaccoon Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I've had a few Plug and Play like systems over the years. I think my favorite was the Jakks Pacific Classic Arcade Pinball. Was it perfect? No. But I liked how the plunger worked. (You pull down that ball on a rod below the system) and liked how the trigger buttons felt. You could had gotten worse than the like... five bucks I paid at a yard sale for it I think.

ataridude Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Actually this was my first plug n play. It's the reason why I love atari so much growing up. I consider it my first console so I would love to put it in my collection of plug n plays or play it to get more of that childhood nostalgia ☺️ HDN, nosweargamer, StormSurge and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks better than the INTV one, but I can't judge it as I haven't played it yet. I really like both the Coloecovision & Intellivision Flashbacks, even though they both could be improved. A lot of viewers felt the CV missed some of it's more popular titles (probably due to licensing) and at least one of the games played at the wrong speed. The INTV Flashback controllers were supposed to work with original Intellivisions, but the wiring got mixed up, and iirc, Tower of Doom is broken. 4 hours ago, socrates63 said: My first Plug n Play was the Namco Ms. Pac-Man, iirc.

What is in retail is this abomination that may look a little similar, but is not. 4 hours ago, RickR said: I'm disqualifying myself because I won the last one.

I know the Mrs. Pac-Man one got a couple rereleases, one for the Game Key and one wireless, but I'm unaware of any others that used it.

zgillet Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Well, technically it is a plug'n'play - I have a Pandora's Box 9s and it is by far my favorite "just plug in" console. It has a ton of classic arcade roms (from China so legality is whatever) and even modded roms.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PK24H6B nosweargamer, HDN and socrates63 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
