Zone 60
Title screen.
Release date	2010 (likely)
System	Sunplus SPG243
Included games	60 built-in
Game developer(s)	JungleTac (Jungle's Soft)
Alternate name(s)	Zone 60 Special Metallic Edition (United States)

The Zone 60 is a 16-bit multi-game plug and play console released by Ultimate Products Ltd. in their Zone line of inexpensive game systems. The system is a Wii clone and contains software and games developed by JungleTac. The Zone 60 was released in the United States and Europe, with the console being released in the former country under the name Zone 60 Special Metallic Edition. While its initial release date is not entirely clear, it is known to have been produced as early as 2010.

A revision of the Zone 60 that contains additional games, named the Zone 100, would also be released. JungleTac would also produce multi-game plug and play consoles for other companies that use the Zone 60's menu software and sports games as a base, including the Wireless 60 and two consoles in Lexibook's TV Game Console line of plug and play systems.

Overview

The Zone 60 mimics Nintendo's Wii system, with the unit somewhat resembling the aforementioned console and it coming bundled with 2 controllers that resemble Wii Remotes. The system also comes bundled with attachments for said controllers to make them look like tennis rackets, a golf club, or a baseball bat. The controllers communicate with the console via infrared technology, which is the same technology used in television remote controls. The console appears to have "motion-sensing" technology of some sense, but it is not comparable to the level of something like the Nintendo Wii's, with the "motion control" essentially being a motion activated trigger for the A button on the controller. The shell of the Zone 60 itself is identical to one used for some Wii clones unaffiliated with JungleTac, including some 32-bit Wii clones manufactured by Subor (i.e., the SMARTstation and the JG7420 plug and play console in the Lexibook TV Game Console line). The Zone 60 uses the Sunplus SPG243 chipset.

Software

Main menu.

As advertised in its name, the Zone 60 includes 60 built-in games. The games are split into two categories: sports and "mini games". The former exclusively consists of games designed to take advantage of the "motion control" of the Zone 60's controllers, and the latter consists of miscellaneous 16-bit games developed by JungleTac. The sports games are presented on the main menu of the system, shown after the player gets past the title screen, and the "mini games" are in their own section accessible from said main menu. Almost all of the games on the Zone 60 are existing versions of other games connected to JungleTac, with many of the games in the "mini games" section being known generic 16-bit JungleTac games and almost all of the sports games being modified versions of games originating from the Sport Vii or 16-bit plug and play games developed by Waixing. Of note is that a number of the non-sports games on the Zone 60 and its descendants are versions of games originally developed by JungleTac for the licensed Disney Game It! handhelds released in 2006, some of which still feature Disney characters either unaltered or with partially edited graphics.

The Zone 60's menu software as well as some of the sports games blatantly copy the Family Sport series of multi-game software developed by Senca, which itself was initially designed for Wii clones. The mascots prominently shown on the system's title screen, main menu, and sports games are directly based off of the Family Sport mascots, and the title screen and main menu themselves are directly modeled after the ones used in the earlier (2008-era) Family Sport releases. In addition to these aspects, four of the sports games on the Zone 60 in particular are directly modeled after the equivalent Family Sport games to the extent that they repurpose graphics from them. It is unknown if JungleTac received authorization from Senca to do this.

List of games

For more information on the individual games on the Zone 60 and related consoles, see the "Sunplus/GBA games" section on JungleTac's page.

The Wireless 60, or Wireless 60 Gaming System, is a multi-game plug and play video game console released by Kids Station Toys in North America. It, like the Zone 60, is also known to have been produced as early as 2010. The Wireless 60 comes bundled with two Wii Remote-like controllers using the same sort of fake "motion control" as the Zone 60 and Zone 100, an AC adapter, composite A/V cables, and the following controller attachments: 1 golf club attachment, 1 baseball bat attachment, 2 ping pong paddle attachments, and 2 tennis racket attachments. It is unclear if the Wireless 60 was released after the Zone 60 or Zone 100 in particular, although the ROM of the system containing leftover menu graphics used in the Zone 60/100 suggests that it was produced after either of those consoles. The Wireless 60 was released in both white and black colors, the latter only confirmed to have been released in Canada.

The Wireless 60 console and its controllers, while essentially being the same as the Zone 60 and Zone 100 internally (including the console using the Sunplus SPG243 chipset), use different plastic shells, with the console using a legally distinct design that is still reminiscent of the Wii. The software built into the Wireless 60 is derived from the Zone 60/100, which while featuring a different title screen and menu interfaces that deviate from the designs present in Senca's Family Sport series, features the same Family Sport-inspired mascots in its sports games and title screen. With the exception of Sea World, many of the sports games on the Wireless 60 are variants of the same games used to create the sports games on the Zone 60 and Zone 100, although some deviate from the Zone versions in some aspects. Notably, where some sports games on the Zone consoles used backgrounds sourced from Senca's Family Sport games, the Wireless 60 versions replace them with different backgrounds.

Note that an asterisk (*) in the following game lists indicates a game on the Wireless 60 that is not present on the Zone 60 or Zone 100.

• Fishing - Virtually identical to the fishing game on the Zone 60.

• Tennis - Virtually identical to the tennis game on the Zone 60. The original graphics for the tennis courts from the Zone 60 version have been replaced.

Lexibook TV Game Console systems

Two generic 16-bit plug and play Wii clones based on the same hardware and software as the Zone 100 would be produced by JungleTac for Lexibook in the early 2010s: the JG7410 and the JG7415. Both consoles have 100 and 120 built-in games respectively and their menu software and game selection are heavily derived from the Zone 100, with the title screens and main menus on the systems featuring generic graphics in place of the Family Sport-inspired ones. The menus in the sports games are identical to those from their Zone 60/100 equivalents, though. The mascot characters from the sports games are also not prominently shown on the title screen or main menu either. Both systems are only known to have been released in European territories, and like the consoles preceding them, use the Sunplus SPG243 chipset.

The only known difference with the JG7410 compared to the Zone 100 in terms of its game selection is that game #27 in the mini games menu ("Match it Up") is renamed to "Find Pairs". The JG7415 features more changes in comparison to the JG7410, changing the name of game #27 in the mini games menu back to "Match it Up" and adding 20 games at the end of the mini-game list:

• Puzzle Pop
• Green Magic
• Jigsaw Puzzle
• Skating Warrior - Generic variant of a mini-game originally created for a licensed Totally Spies! plug and play developed by JungleTac for Senario.
• Bird Hunter
• Pair Up
• Sprint
• Swing Fall
• Juggle
• Fantastic Farm
• Super Rabbit
• Take a Smile
• Travels - Generic variant of Triton's Travels, a game originally developed by JungleTac for the licensed Disney Game It! Princess Pals multi-game handheld released in 2006.
• Pearls - Generic variant of Minnie's Pearls, a game originally developed by JungleTac for the licensed Disney Game It! Classic Pals multi-game handheld released in 2006.
• Sheep-Dog Day - Generic variant of Pluto's Sheep-Dog Day, a game originally developed by JungleTac for the licensed Disney Game It! Classic Pals multi-game handheld released in 2006.

• Farm Fun - Reskin of Garden Weeder.
• Deep Collision - Reskin of Happy Farm.

32-bit ports of sports games

Two of the sports games on the Zone 60 and its descendants, Ping Pong and Tennis, would be ported to the 32-bit Sunplus SPG293 platform by JungleTac for the Zone 3D console, released in 2011. Compared to the original versions, the menus are entirely redesigned and notably remove the option to select an opponent. The in-game graphics are also completely overhauled, being pre-rendered 3D. All of the graphics in these ports have an anaglyph 3D effect that require 3D glasses in order to be viewed properly. It is unknown if any of the other sports games on the Zone 60 or its descendants were ever ported to 32-bit hardware.

Emulation

The Zone 60, along with its descendants (Zone 100, Wireless 60, Lexibook JG7410, and Lexibook JG7415), are dumped and emulated in MAME. Respectively, the consoles are identified by the following ROM set names in MAME:

Console name	MAME ROM set name
Zone 60	zone60
Zone 100	zone100
Wireless 60	wirels60
Lexibook TV Game Console JG7410	lx_jg7410
Lexibook TV Game Console JG7415	lx_jg7415

Trivia

• A console under the name Wireless 100, as well as another Lexibook TV Game Console unit advertising 60 games that uses the same shell as the JG7410/JG7415 and displays photos of games from the Zone 60/100 on its box are known to exist. It is unclear if these systems are related to the Zone 60 or its descendants, though.
• Written on the back of the box for the Wireless 60 is a note which reads "If you're looking to purchase an Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, or equivalent, this product does not compare or compete with these technologies. The Wireless 60 is a family entertainment console, great for ages 5 and up."
