The game was originally developed for VT03 hardware, with the earliest known release of that version being on the Vs Maxx 77 Video Games plug and play from 2004. All known releases of the VT03 version feature a title screen that only consists of a colorful background and a cartoon graphic of the head of a jester stretching its mouth with its disembodied hands and sticking its tongue out.

A VT09 conversion of this game with no obvious changes would be produced by JungleTac for their VT09-based systems.

A VT3xx version of this game with high-resolution graphics, named Ghost Buster, would later be developed by JungleTac for their own systems.

Fish Catcher (VT03, two-player revision)[]

Two-player version of the original VT03 game that adds a title screen. The HUD has been reworked to accommodate for two-player mode, and the grabber sprites have been redrawn to be smaller.

Fish Quiz[]

Alternate names: Fish Prince (Lexibook), Sea World (VG Pocket handhelds)

Puzzle game where the player has to arrange a circular formation of seals (colored purple in-game) and fish (colored orange) in such a way that the seals are lined up according to a picture displayed at the top right of the screen. The player solves the puzzle by rotating hexagonal portions of it, which is done with a cursor that is moved with the D-pad and selecting a seal/fish that will rotate the surrounding elements accordingly. The original version of the game was developed for VT03 hardware and features a title screen with the game's name and a drawing of two seals. This version is known to have been released as early as 2004 on the Vs Maxx 77 Video Games plug and play. A VT3xx version of this game under the same name with high-resolution graphics would be developed by JungleTac for their own systems.

This game's gameplay closely resembles the Flash game Rotation, which was developed by the mainland Chinese developer Interactive Diode Space, who were active during the early 2000s.[5] It is unknown if Fish Quiz is specifically a clone of this Flash game or if Rotation is itself a clone of another game.

Fish Quiz (VT09, "partial font replacement" revision)[]

VT09 conversion of the original VT03 game. The title screen is unaltered, but the fonts for the "Level", "Score", and "Degree" text are replaced with a solid black font. Only known to have been included on the WinFun-distributed Joypad 65 plug and play console.

Fish Quiz (VT09, "solid font" revision)[]

Another VT09 conversion of the original VT03 game. Compared to the "partial font replacement" revision, all in-game fonts are replaced with plain fonts using solid colors.

A VT3xx version of this game under the same name with high-resolution graphics would be developed by JungleTac for their own systems.

Football Kid[]

Alternate names: High Score (Lexibook)

Kick the ball into the net while intentionally hitting people walking in front of it. The graphics of the people passing by appear to be strange mish-moshes of characters from other games, like Mario from Super Mario World and the Kiteretsu Daihyakka characters. One of the people that can walk by can be interpreted as a racist blackface stereotype. The game is only known to have been released as a VT09 game.

A VT3xx version of this game under the same name with high-resolution graphics would be developed by JungleTac for their own systems.

Freak Number[]

Group the tiles together to add up the numbers. The game is only known to have been released as a VT09 game. A VT3xx version of this game under the same name with high-resolution graphics would be developed by JungleTac for their own systems.

This game features an unused title screen in the code reading "Buy Drug". Presumably, the name was changed to Garden Maze due to the questionable connotation (i.e. illegal drugs) in relation to the game. It is unknown if the game was ever released under the "Buy Drug" name.

Golden Arrow[]

Alternate names: Arrow Target (Lexibook), Bulls-eye (VG Pocket handhelds)

A game seemingly originating from the unknown JungleTac-affiliated developer, Lawn Purge, is very similar to Grass Cutter, with nearly identical level layouts.

Grass Cutter (VT09, later revision)[]

VT09 conversion that removes the game's name from the title screen and changes the font used in the HUD to a larger one with a solid white color.

Clone of Side Pocket; the graphics are based on the SNES/Genesis version of the game, rather than the preexisting NES port. The game was developed for UM6578 hardware and features a title screen with a "© JungleTac.2003" copyright notice and options for one and two-player modes. Only known to have been included on the UM6578 version of the Vs Maxx 25 in 1 plug and play and the DGUN-806 plug and play console.

Pool Pro (VT03)[]

VT03 conversion of the original UM6578 game. Compared to the original version, controls for lining up shots are much slower and the varied music tracks used in the original game are replaced with one stock 8-bit JungleTac music track that plays throughout the entire game. The title screen also removes the JungleTac copyright notice and now requires the player to press the A button to start the game as opposed to any button like the original game, changing the "PRESS ANY KEY TO START" text to read "PRESS A BUTTON TO START" to reflect this. Only known to have been included on the VT03 version of the Vs Maxx 25 in 1 plug and play and the Vs Maxx 77 Video Games plug and play, both being released in 2004.

Pool Pro (VT03, single-player revision)[]

Single player revision of the VT03 conversion that removes the one and two-player options from the title screen, making the game single-player only. The "© JungleTac.2003" copyright notice from the original UM6578 version is left intact in this version for unknown reasons. The graphics for the one and two-player options are also left intact in the game's data. Only known to have been included on the two-player capable Silverlit 35 in 1 Super Twins plug and play console from 2005.

Pool Pro (VT09, single-player)[]

VT09 conversion of the single-player revision of the VT03 version. For unknown reasons, the JungleTac copyright notice on the title screen has been removed. Only known to have been included on the WinFun-distributed Joypad 65 plug and play console.

Pool Pro (VT09, two-player)[]

VT09 conversion of the original VT03 conversion with two-player mode intact. The JungleTac logo that appears at the bottom right during gameplay has additionally been replaced with the Pool Pro logo. Only known to have been included on the VG Pocket 50 handheld.

Pool Pro (VT09, alternate two-player revision)[]

Alternate version of the two-player VT09 conversion that replaces the Pool Pro logo on the title screen with a graphic of two pool sticks forming an "X" and a pool ball at the center of it. The Pool Pro logo that appears during gameplay is left intact. Only known to have been included on the VG Pocket Tablet handheld under the name Billiards Master in its menu.

Push the Ball[]

Alternate names: Table Ball (VG Pocket Max)[22]

A near identical clone of the NES/Famicom version of Shufflepuck Café. Notably, the names of the opponents are mixed up and "Visitor" is misspelled as "Visine". The original version of the game was developed for VT03 hardware, with its earliest known releases being on the Vs Maxx Video Extreme 50 in 1 and Vs Maxx 77 Video Games plug and play consoles from 2004. A VT09 conversion of the game with no obvious changes would be produced by JungleTac, and is only known to have been included on the dreamGEAR Turbo GT and Venturer 25 in 1 plug and play consoles.
