Songtly Enterprise Co., Ltd. (松玲企業有限公司) was an electronics company headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, with their office reportedly being located on the third floor of building 305 at SongJiang Road in the Zhongshan district. They were involved in the manufacture and distribution of video game console clones and video games. Songtly was founded on July 31, 1986, and would start producing hardware clones of the Famicom and Atari 2600 consoles during their late 80s. The company would shut down on November 1993.

Hardware clones

In 1987, Songtly would start producing and releasing the SY-700 in Taiwan. The SY-700 is a hardware clone of the Famicom that imitates the look of the original Japanese console.

Published games

Songtly is known to have started publishing unlicensed video games for the Sega Mega Drive and original Game Boy some time in the early 90s. Only two games are confirmed to have been published by Songtly across both platforms. Said games credit the developer Jumbo Team, or Jumbo, which was the English name used by the unlicensed game developer Chuanpu Technology during the early 90s.

Sega Mega Drive

• Link Dragon (龍行天下) (1993) - Developed by Chuanpu under the name Jumbo Team. Also named 龍 (Long) on the title screen. Snake game where the player controls a slender dragon that has to eat a certain number of fireballs in each level to progress. Credits Songtly and Jumbo Team on the boot up animation.

Game Boy

• Top Secret (最高機密) (1993) - Developed by Chuanpu under the name Jumbo. Maze game. Songtly and Jumbo are credited on the splash screen and title screen of the game, with Songtly exclusively being credited as Sonling on the latter. The game would later be licensed out to unlicensed game publisher Gowin and published under the name 迷途之旅, or Lost Trips, on December 1998 (the title screen of the Gowin release uses the English name Losing Trip).
  • A version of this game would be included in multicarts produced by unlicensed game developer and publisher Vast Fame in 2002, likely without Songtly or Gowin's involvement. This version removes any mention of Songtly and Jumbo, with the splash screen in particular being completely removed.
