The N-Joypad, also known as the oddly named My First CD Console TV Game Set, or Mega-Games, is a Famiclone manufactured by the Hong Kong-based company Advance Bright Limited. The system was marked as a CD-based video game console, though contrary to the marketing, the 3 "compact discs" are actually pieces of plastic of different sizes.
When the player inserts one of these discs on the system, the disc will trigger a combination of switches on the system which will allow an unique selection of NES games to be selected. The system includes a total of 59 games, which are either original games produced by Nice Code Software, or Inventor hacks of licensed NES games which have their music and/or graphics hacked to hide their origin.
Another version of this system known as the TV Games was released by Globo in Italy.[1] This version of the system features different designs for the console and controllers. It is unknown if the TV Games version is affiliated in any way with Advance Bright Limited.

Trivia[]
- This and other Advanced Bright Limited systems have Inventor exclusive to them. This likely happened due to ABL contracting Inventor to make new and exclusive hacks for them. Similar to Cube Tech.
- The console actually has four switches internally - one powers the console on, the other three select the games. The first button (which would usually be pressed when any disc is inserted) presses both the power switch and the first game selection switch. If you open the console and only press the power switch, it will boot up with a hidden menu containing all 59 games.
