BootlegGames Wiki

Atari 2600 - 128 Games Built-In is a game console released in 1991. It features many pirated Atari 2600 games built in - but bizarrely, appears to be officially affiliated by Atari, or an affiliate thereof. The console is likely connected to Futuretronics, the former Australian distributor of Atari products.

Overview[]

Little is known about the system, other than that it was available at some stores in Australia [1] (likely in very limited quantities) and likely originated from Asia. The console was produced in the Christmas 1991 shopping period. It features a switch on the back labeled "GAME GROUP", which selects between four 32-in-1 game menus. Its built-in games include hacks of titles not developed by Atari (such as "Tom Boy" and "Super Ferrari", hacks of Activision's Pitfall! and Enduro), alongside unhacked bootlegs under altered names (Coleco's Donkey Kong renamed as "King Kong"). The console resembles the Junior model of the Atari 2600, but the controller appears to be taken from the European version of the Atari 7800. The console's instruction manual and game list contain various grammatical errors.

While one would think the console is unquestionably a bootleg, it was very likely licensed by Atari. This is most evident by the circuit board, in which every chip is labeled "© ATARI 1991" [2] - something a bootlegger would be very unlikely to do. This would be one of several instances of Atari releasing pirated software under their own name, with another example being the 32-in-1 Game Cartridge included with several Australian 2600 models.

The game list also seems to lineup with carts made by "New Exciting".[3] Wolf Coming (Pooyan) is one of the many games which show up on the same list as this console.
