please, help me identify those games...

[lucifershalo]

I finally decide to investigate my TV BOY AKOR (one of the first plug and play and probably one of the best seeing that it includes more than 100 games)

I tested the first 30 games and what a surprise to discover plenty of games that are unknown to me so any infos would be greatly appreciated...

(the numbers are corresponding of the ones from my TV BOY, maybe that can help, but the list I found on internet had nothing to do with mine)

 

5.3D like space game (like Star Raiders) but the 2 “lines” that point the target are not horizontal but diagonally and coming from the bottom corners

6. space shooter, ur ship is in a middle the rest of the screen is moving, u can turn in the 4 directions , u have to destroy asteroids that have that intellivision like graphism (astrosmash)

9. bike race , viewed flat from the top

11.in Vanguard-like labyrinth, u are a submarine

12.atlantis but the enemies are birds

13.it looks like a conversion from the Colecovision game Cabbage Patch Kid

22.u are a boat on the top of the screen and drop mines on the submarines moving from left to righ

17 u are a tank , u have to dig and first create trenches before being able to shoot the other tanks

27 u are on the bottom of the screen in a forest and moving left and right and shooting up, above on 2 wooden passageways wolves shoot at you

28 ¾ of the screen u are in aship moving in the dark shooting other ships and rescuing characters, on the radar screen (1/4 bottom of the screen) u see the whole Vanguard-like labyrinth that allows u to lead your ship

 

TO BE CONTINUED…..

5. Probably Starmaster.

12. Phoenix

 

Not familiar enough with the rest.

[Foxsolo2000]

5 sounds like the earth dies screaming.

6 is either Great Escape or Mission 3000

9 is Motocross by Quelle

12 is Curtiss, an Atlantis rip off

22 sounds like Subscan

28 sounds like Flash Gordon

 

I used to have the TV Boy and a lot of their games were new to me due to having never been released in the UK. it would have helped had they had the proper list of games rather than the made up ones that came on the box. If you can post some pics of the games it would make it far easier for us to idenitfy them for you

[Foxsolo2000]

17 is ThunderGround by the sound of it by Sega and 27 sounds like NUTS by Technovision

Is the incomplete list on the following page wrong?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Boy

[Foxsolo2000]

Far too many unknowns on it Random. There is a better list somewhere on the net, just cannot remember where it is

If the complete list can be found, maybe someone will edit the Wikipedia page.

[Foxsolo2000]

If I can find it I will let you know. I knew all the games at one time but it has been years since I last owned one and time has eroded the old grey matter

[lucifershalo]

the list from wikipedia seems to be the good one!!

except of the "unknown" ones

I am planning (with your help) to make the definitive list....

the following games have been found

 

6.mission 3000

12.curtiss (probably cant check)

17.thunderground

22.sub scan

27.nuts

28.flash gordon

 

thanks

in any case, to my TV BOY, yes it is

different

even with all its holes, the wikipedia list is the closest one for me

 

anyway here are some picture of the unknown games

[Rom Hunter]

The missing aka's are from these game numbers:

Edited February 4, 2006 by Rom Hunter

[Rom Hunter]

I noticed that not all the aka's of the Wikipedia list correspond with the aka's on the other TV Boy list, which could mean that the different TV Boys do not contain exactly the same games.

 

Lucifershalo,

 

If you can show me a screenshot of each corresponding game number, I will update the list.

This way we can track down the false aka's.

 

Edited January 30, 2006 by Rom Hunter

[A.J. Franzman]

Then someone Wikipedia-savvy can update the article to include both lists.

 

Also, it would be helpful to note in the a.k.a.'s which games are merely renamed, and which are hacked.
