panamajoe Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) *** Update *** i am selling this thing *** so make me an offer *** ------------------------------------------------------------------ Just got this pretty interesting and strange Atari 2600 Clone that´s called the "Master Boy"... While the name and the package is referring to the Gameboy obviously, the System itself resembles the Game Gear und the box shows some NES Screenshots (Duck Hunt e.g.) while the manual explains how to insert Sega Master System like cartridges (the system has no cartridge port )... Best of all worlds i guess... Well it has many, many games on it, mostly Taiwan Hacks and eben some i haven´t seen before (doesn´t mean much, but that´s a plus for me) and the Antenna, that came with this thing really works... so i can play from the Couch without the hassle of cables... So, what do you think: - hot or not - rare or not - crap or not Edited November 30, 2008 by panamajoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well, it's sort of cool! Can you give a list of games (including what they really are if they're different than the name, if you know). And possibly screenshots of any games where you don't know what they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 don´t have the time at the moment to compile a list of games, but i´ll try to add some screenshots of games i don´t know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Please do. How many games are on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 that looks awesome. so the antenna is for broadcasting to a tv? can you share where you got it, price, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Seconded for the screen shots. Always love to explore these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 that looks awesome. so the antenna is for broadcasting to a tv? can you share where you got it, price, etc? yeah, the antenna broadcasts to a tv, works pretty good; can´t be too far away from the tv set of course. There was also a standard TV-Cable included and a Switchbox (which has a Colecovision drawn on...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 That's pretty neat! When is it from? Is it Atari era? Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Have no idea when and where it was sold/build, but as the package resembles the Gameboy and the Screenshots show NES games i guess it was sold during that time. so: who also has one of these?

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Wait, I know this system!! It has 128 build in games. I usually saw them on ebay.co.uk and ebay.com. There is existing another similar system .....Mega Boy? I can´t remeber the name....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamajoe Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 hm, yes, my Master Boy looks like the cheaper brother of dynacoms Mega Boy... can´t find any reference to Dynacom on the unit, but this thing is PAL-B, guess that makes sense...

panamajoe Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 just checked the games: some of them are hacks, but i´m pretty sure i´ve seen them before. No surprises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 So it's like the TV boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 yes, it´s like an early TV-Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600FunTimes Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Now THAT is some Hot, Rare, Crap that I wish I had my hands on sounds like fun to me... and I also find the name/box setup somewhat comical.. NEW GENERATION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 talking about dynacom: i´d really like to know what this site says: http://www.atari.com.br/historia/index.html guess there´s no english translation out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyace Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 translate.google.com with auto detect language does a fair job. The keyboard/basic looks interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 People in Bazil speak Portuguese, so feed Babelfish with the URL and let it translate from Portuguese into English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 translate.google.com with auto detect language does a fair job.The keyboard/basic looks interesting was an interesting read... no information on the Master Boy though... so: who else has one and can share some information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey! Nobody here owns another Master Boy? I don´t think so... Let me know if YOU also have one, i´m interested in how common these units really are/ were! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamajoe Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 OK, with christmas coming closer, i´m thinking about selling this nice little system... so make me offers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Nobody is going to make you an offer until they see what it is really. You never posted the games list or did you even fire it up to try it out? It's a VCS clone with 128 games, but what games, and does the system work.
