A prototype of an unreleased variant of the Activision TV Games Plug & Play system running on SNES hardware.

Notes

• Developed by DC Studios for Toymax
• The released version runs on NES hardware
• Contains River Raid. While X can be used to leave, it goes back to the game
• Visuals appear as intended on ZSNES compared to other emulators
• Contains an associated readme file, labeled riv.txt:

River-raid (riv.bin) -------------------- Current Status: 09-08-2000: - game works well enough to get the feel of the game Tasks which are still to be completed: - stop missiles when they travel over land (although this doesn't really affect the way the game plays) - make screen flash when bridge is destroyed (pretty simple) - align sprites completely accurately - make collisions bit-wise accurate Neil
