Classic Game Room reviews VENTURE for Atari 2600 from Coleco and Exidy released in 1982. Players control Winky (who looks like Evil Otto from Berzerk) who explores dungeons and slays monsters in his quest for treasure! Clear out the rooms before the ghost (or whatever it is) comes out to kill you instantly! While this is advanced for the Atari 2600 is pales in comparison to the excellent ColecoVision version

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.
