This page lists earlier "big screen" variants of the "1.8" Handheld Games. This set of games was likely developed by Wellminds, despite the company having no clear connection to the original 1.8" versions. Note that the gameplay descriptions are inferred from video footage of the "Xiaoshenyou CY-828" console.
Overview[]
There seems to be a rather complex physics engine contained in the earlier "big screen" systems; resulting in games have a lot of fast and fluent movement, and often using rotation effects. Many games are exclusive to this hardware system, while others are extensively modified from the original 1.8" titles. Some "1.8"-derived games have their screen resolution greatly extended/zoomed-out, though others instead use similar dimensions to their 1.8" counterpart (in an upscaled resolution). All music and sound effects are redone from scratch, with a much more limited selection of tracks compared to the 1.8" originals.
Hardware originals[]
