|Plug-N-Play: Placeholder TextThese systems come bundled with controllers, have controllers built into their chassis, or the chassis themselves as controllers, and are immediately playable after being connected to a television (and sometimes also power adapters), hence the name "Plug-N-Play". Some of them are powered by batteries and others are powered by external power adapters. Many of the Plug-N-Play consoles are based on Atari-2600-on-chip or NOAC (NES-On-A-Chip) hardware filled with horrible unlicensed and/or bootleg modified games for Atari 2600/NES.

|While the game itself is nothing noteworthy, the consept concept is. the Panyu Gaming Electronic Company made a baffling move in 2003 by making a 9/11 theamed themed LCD game. not surprisingly, this game gained negative reviews and was very controversial. This game now has left a mark on video game history and has made it turned itself into a collectors item.
