The Game Theory Admiral is a Famiclone handheld shaped like Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. It was released by Shenzhen Dongbaoxiang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and Tongwei Electric Co., Ltd. It was also later sold by Subor, using a shell branded after the company. The most common model is sold under the brand name "Mystery". It was also sold as the Cool Boy. [1]
Overview[]
The design heavily resembles the Game Boy Advance (minus the shoulder buttons and D-pad). The system comes in either blue, pink, or white. It requires 3 AA batteries or a 4.5V AC adapter to run. The console can also act as a home console when the pack-in AV adaptor is used with external controllers that plug into the bottom of the system.
The system has no built-in games, but is able to play Famicom/NES games (using an included adapter) or by using specially-made cartridges, resembling either Game Boy carts or Game Boy Advance carts. The console's carts are also said to have compatibility with with the Little Libertine (A Famiclone shaped like a Game Boy Color). It is unknown if the reverse is true.
Some variants of the system including the Cool Boy and possibly the Subor version, come with a 5-in-1 cart (Labeled as 4-in-1 on the cart itself) which features Shudu, A clone of Sudoku, Tank, a hack of Battle City, Lawn Purge, A lawn mowing game, Fish War, a feeding frenzy type game, and Boxes World, a Sokoban clone.
Most if not all game releases for the system use completely unrelated boxart. (e.g, a release of Kyatto Ninden Teyandee uses artwork of Garfield[2]).
