Super TV Boy?

(@guest4732)

Just seen one of these on ebay cheap and I wondered if anyone else remembers anything about them?

I do remember seeing them in the shops as a kid but I cant remember if they played their own games or if it was just one of those controllers that you plug in and had 100 odd atari games on them?

There were two models, I think mark 1 had a joystick port, but mark two did not.

It ran loads of versions of Atari Games, pitfall! has a blue background etc.

Used to sell in Argos stores up till the mid 90's

Made by Systema.

Yes, it's a highly illegal Atari 2600 on a chip clone with loads of pirated and hacked games. I can't honestly believe they got away with selling these for all those years.

Never heard of it until now.  So, here are a picture of it and a video review I found (the video is of version 3).
