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
  • This prototype is comprised of three separate ROMs, all of which contain the main menu:
    • atlantis-14-07-00.smc also contains Atlantis
    • spiderfighter-14-07-00.smc also contains Spider Fight
    • tennis-14-07-00.smc also contains Tennis where Mega Mania should be
  • SHL-14-07-00.SMC and SHL-14-07-00-1.SMC, in the original prototype release, are both duplicates of spiderfighter-14-07-00.smc
  • Visuals appear as intended on ZSNES compared to other emulators
  • Has an associated readme file, labeled spider.txt:
runs best with new gfx engine turned off..
