The Plug ‘N’ Play Rockstar Guitar contains the same songs as the above, and uses the same basic game/music engine, but with entirely different presentation, opting for a 2D look rather than the perspective one.Īnother version of the same product offers a different selection of songs. There was no manufacturer information on the box for this one. While the box identifies this one as Guitar Star, the title screen simply shows ‘Guitar’. The songs on this one carry the proper names, and are more likely to have been licensed.Īnother version of Guitar Star was found in Europe with slightly modified presentation and some different songs. This is an interesting one because it shares the frontend / title screen presentation with some units we’ll cover shortly but the ingame presentation much more closely mimics Guitar Hero than that game. Guitar Star is another product sold by Senario, although this one doesn’t show a Senario splash screen.
Guitar Super Star “You Take The Stage” is the sequel to Guitar Super Star and refines the gameplay a bit and offers a wider selection of both characters and backgrounds. This additional attention to detail is very unusual on these cheap Plug & Play devices so worth mentioning I feel. Guitar Super Star was released with 2 different styles of Guitar, curiously each used a different ROM with the title screen being updated to reflect the guitar type. Guitar Super Star is an obvious Guitar Hero clone, with tracks that borrow heavily from popular songs, but with names that while hinting at their origins, don’t outright name the original song or artist. Speed Racer is one of the better themed Plug & Play units, with the controller representing the steering wheel from the show, complete with individual buttons for each powerup that you’ll need to navigate the courses. Some of these are obvious reskins of things found on other Jungletac units, some seem to be different or have had further development. In what seems to have been a French exclusive, Senario put out a Totally Spies Plug & Play with a selection of games.

There was also a version sold exclusively by QVC which dropped the Boxing game, but added Basketball and Beach SoccerĪnd a version sold as Wireless Sports Plus (but with a My Sports Challenge Plus titlescreen) that has 20 games Senario also tried putting out a range of Wii Sports clones under the My Sports Challenge name. The non-deluxe version was also emulated, both US and UK releases. The Senario poker games presented additional emulation challenges because each player has an LCD based controller to display their cards and make selections, this was simulated using MAME’s artwork system to a playable level. Senario was also responsible for the US version of the Who Wants to Be A Millionaire Plug and Play (which is an entirely different game to the Play Vision UK version emulated in 2019) “Big Bonus Slots” is virtual slot machines, with various bonus features

Sports Trivia Professional Edition follows a similar forumla to Cosmo Girl with a selection of quiz questions and minigames. “Cosmo Girl” is a pop culture quiz game, aimed primarily at a female audience. “The Perfect Mate” is a multiplayer game that attempts to match up couples based on common interests / opinions.

One such game was based off the US version of the TV Show “The Apprentice” In addition to a number of NES based multigame bootlegs there were a handful of quiz-style games and home virtual gambling systems. Senario published a number of Plug and Play units in the 2000s. The first release of 2020 was MAME 0.218, although due to the release process, some of what was included in 0.218 was submitted in 2019. To say it’s been a busy year would be an understatement I think it’s been one of the busiest I can remember in the entire history of the project, so I hope what I have managed to cover so far at least gives some insight into that.
This is still supplemented by a large amount of work from others that I’ve found interesting, and as time permits, even more work from other people will be added. Due to the sheer amount of work done over the year it also lacks coverage of a lot of the progress from 2020 right now, and currently has a bias toward things I’ve worked on as it’s easier to cover what I already know. While the 2019 article definitely still needed work at the turn of the year, this 2020 write-up was started in order to have a place to log work done in 2020 as to avoid falling too far behind there also.
