The 160-in-1 of these low-resolution handhelds actually contains a list of 180 games, all present in ROM, just 20 haven't been selected for the menu. Most are in the other units, some are reskins of included, some I guess weren't chosen for legal reasons. pastebin.com/P7wSSXt8

If I hack the menu index I can launch the unlisted games. This OTM Pick Fruit doesn't seem to be in the other currently dumped units.

3 Rabbits is in the higher resolution version, with Bugs Bunny rip-offs, but here if you force it back into the menu it has more fox-like characters, suggesting maybe it was undergoing a reskin before being dropped entirely.

Dragon is another in the higher resolution unit I have here, but I don't think is in the lower resolution ones. Interestingly some of the games, such as the Angry Birds rip-offs, Plants vs. Zombies and Gang Nam Style games are entirely missing from this unit.

anyway plenty for @CuttingRoomWiki to have fun with at some point.

This is how Three Rabbits looks in the higher resolution 'Eyecare' unit we have, which being a product that was aimed at the Chinese market has less censorship. Maybe there are low-res versions with the original art out there too that were mainly sold in China, who knows.
