Alright so last week while on a weekend vacation my girlfriend decided to visit meet with a person at the nearby college regarding her graduate school. Well naturally I was left for an hour to fend for myself so I hopped on the good ole' eBay (God I love smartphones). I was searching around and ran into these small little plug n' play systems, each one had 10 games on it for a very reasonable price! The first was about $12 shipped and it advertised Virtua fighter 2 as the main game, the second was $9 shipped and the main game advertised was Columns. I decided to go ahead and buy both and do a YouTube video on them. The VF one came in the main first so I plugged it into the tv and started to play VF(which was a horrible Genesis game as it is) needless to say I got really bored really fast. After shutting that game off I discovered that it has Alien Storm which is a fantastic side-scroller, this game made it completely worth the $12. I was happy with the plug n' play overall, then the second arrived on my doorstep. I opened it up and plugged it in and I was soon very disappointed, it was nothing but puzzle games and a crappy space shooter! Now, I am not a fan of columns at all, I would rather play tetris any day but I realize that it has a pretty good following so I gave it a fair shot. Other than Columns and Columns 3 it just had a bunch of clones of other games but it does have one saving grace. Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine!! I remember playing this game on my Sonic classic cart on Genesis way back in the day and I loved it, the port it really good but I can tell you that the joystick on the plug n' play is not built for puzzle games. Check out the video on my YouTube channel! I have broken it into 2 parts. The second will be live very soon.

SSG out!
