The TV Joystick 36 in 1 is a Plug 'n Play system developed by Timetop.
Overview
The device advertises 36 games, however it only features 12 unique games, while the other 24 are duplicates. The repeats usually remove the title screen and start on different levels. These games appear to use OneBus technology (or a similar form of hardware), as the console appears to be NES-based. The system's menu is very similar to one used on another plug 'n play, the MiWi. The controller greatly resembles the Samuri 60 in 1, except for a different center logo and a difficulty switch. The switch adds minimal changes to the games, such as removing checkpoints or continues. The X, Y, and Select buttons on the controller have no function in any game included.
