TV Boy
Der TV Boy und seine Nachfolger TV Boy II und Super TV Boy sind Spielkonsolen aus den 199er Jahren zum Anschluss an einen damals handelsüblichen Fernseher. Die Spielkonsolen sind unlizenzierte Clones der Atari 2600 Hardware und wurden weltweit von mehreren Unternehmen wie SystemA, AKOR und NICS verkauft. Der TV Boy kam 1992 auf den Markt. Die Konsole hat im Gegensatz zum Atari 2600 keinen Cartridge-Slot, dafür sind 127 Spiele fest eingebaut. Die Spiele sind modifizierte originale Atari 2600-Spiele und wurden meistens umbenannt; bei einigen Spielen wurden Copyright-Zeichen und Logos der Publisher entfernt. Der TV Boy hat zwei Anschlüsse für Atari-Joysticks, der TV Boy II nicht.[1] Der TV Boy wird über ein Antennenkabel an einen damals handelsüblichen Fernseher angeschlossen. Der Schalter zum Einstellen der Schwierigkeit beim Atari 2600 fehlt beim TV Boy ebenfalls.[2]

Der Super TV-Boy (auch TV-Boy III) kam 1995 auf den Markt und ist ebenfalls mit 127 fest eingebauten Spiele ausgestattet, die kommerziellen Spielen unter anderem Namen entsprechen. Das Design des Super TV-Boy wurde geändert und der Controller kann nun von der Konsole getrennt genutzt werden.[3]
