It wouldn't surprise me if it was replicated since on the creator's blog he claims he can't even remember making this version (he's been trying to get a remake off the ground recently and not doing very well).
There was a necessary item that was either missing or unreachable. It may have been the pyramid you get toward the end of the game.

Many of the games are literally unfinished, and there is at least one other I can think of that is unbeatable due to design errors. The Watara SuperVision is the lowest of the low in shovelware, unless you count Famiclones.

Again, I'd like to read more details if you can recall them. I have carts of Crystball (bundled game) and Alien (poor man's R-Type clone) on the way.
According to my notes, Hero Kid glitches up after beating the fifth area, Treasure Hunter has a death screen on Level 7, and Dream World also has a death screen at the end. Stage 4-4 in Scaffolder is unsolvable, and Witty Cat's last level is literally impossible to beat due to (from what I remember) enemy placement.

Thanks for the info.
There is precious little info online about this console and its games. I just spent a frustrating hour trying to get past level 20 of Crystball and thanks to your info can convince myself that it's impossible rather than blaming my own lack of skill.
Expanded my Megaduck library with this bundle pickup and gained a few useless dutch manuals in return:
Still mildly annoyed that Backloggery doesn't have a MegaDuck option so I have to log these under the Brazilian CougarBoy alternate name.
Surprised to find that the middle game (Captain Knick Knack) is a surprisingly competent Twinbee-esque top-down shooter from Sachen of all people who aren't exactly big on quality ordinarily.
A couple of weird Gameboy knockoffs (The TV Boy and the Game Child) and a bunch of those horribly-sealed-into-plastic-so-that-you-have-to-cut-them-open Supervision games.
The TV Boy is a weird bunch of LCD brick based games on its actual screen but it also plugs into the TV to become a Famicom. It comes with a cartridge adapter and an odd GB style cart with the same 4 Famicom games looping over 10000000 times. It also has an outlet for a second FC controller!
The Game Child is infamous...well, they made a youtube movie about it.
Got myself a Chromecast 2.
Having fun streaming videos from Youtube & crunchyroll, especially as PS3 & Wii U version of the Crunchyroll apps doesn't seem to work too well for me.

Check out animelab they seem to have far content than crunchyroll unless you're using a vpn.

Snug fit!
Neat find.
Any idea what these Gundam games do when you comcbine them?
Anyway I poped a preorder for the Yuri Kuma Arashi Blu-ray anime set.
