TV Boy The Handheld Atari 2600

The TV Boy was a handheld TV game produced by many different companies, including Systema, Akor, and NICS, based upon an unlicensed clone of Atari 2600 hardware. They were widely available across Europe. In the UK they were most visibly available through Argos.

Users can play any one of 127 built-in games. In the UK, they were marketed with “126 games included”; the Super TV Boy has “127 games included” printed on the packing box.

The system contains a single 512KB ROM housing 128 programs. One is the program that enables the others to be selected, so only 127 games are included; none of them use any sort of paged ROM scheme.
