Remember Plug n Play TV Games? Which ones (if any) did you have?

If you were around from like 2003-2009 or so and stepped into any place that sold video games, odds are you say a couple of these for sale. Some of them were compilations of older games as you can see from the Atari and Sega ones above, but others were original games licensed from stuff like Star Wars or even Dragon Ball Z. So if you remember these and owned any, which was your favorite?

I actually owned this one:

This had Mortal Kombat 1 and played pretty decently. I remember buying it on Impulse buy at Target because it was on sale. I also owned this one:

What was cool about the Sega ones is that apparently you could mod them to play other Sega games from MAMES or even from cartages.

I have only played the Pac-Man one at a friends house, his mother collected a bunch of these. Some of the "consoles" looked real nice aesthetically speaking. She had a bunch of cartoon brand ones though....which were usually ugly.

I had the Atari 2600 paddle plug and play.

It was actually a pretty decent piece of equipment. The sounds were way off, but the graphics were very faithful to the real thing. An old roommate and I used to play a ton of Video Olympics on the device.

Yeah that sponge Bob one was fugly on top of the games apparently being crap. And so many of them looked cool but their design made them hard to actually play.

My family had a Wheel of Fortune one we'd play sometimes in the early to mid 2000s. Had a small wheel you could spin and everything. It sucked shit.

Plug and Play systems still exist, btw.
