Title: Play Pal 20 in 1 Handheld
Post by: TrekMD on August 29, 2020, 20:11:50 PM

I just watched this video by Willie, ArcadeUSA.  Has anyone ever heard of this handheld?  Seems it had different names in different regions (Coleco Sonic in the US and Pocket Gear in Europe).  Looks like a nifty handheld.  All the games can be played either on the integrated 2.4" LCD display or output to a TV via composite video.

Here is the list of games on it:

Game Gear Games

    Columns
    Ecco II: The Tides of Time
    Sonic Drift 2
    Sonic Triple Trouble
    Super Columns

Master System Games

    Alex Kidd in High-Tech World
    Alex Kidd in Miracle World
    Altered Beast

    Astro Warrior
    Aztec Adventure
    Bomber Raid
    Fantasy Zone
    Fantasy Zone: The Maze
    Global Defense
    Kung Fu Kid

    Penguin Land
    Quartet'
    Snail Maze

LOL  Yes, I actually mis-typed the name multiple times!  I kept typing PayPal instead of PlayPal!  It does look like a nifty handheld and having the ability to play on TV with it functioning as a controller is cool.
