  • The VG Pocket Caplet is a dedicated console created by Performance Designed Products, under Pelican Accessories. Its graphics are considered an improvement over those of the earlier models of the VG Pocket, with a very bright 2.5” backlit 320×240 TFT display. (The package claims its resolution is 960×240, counting the RGB triads to make 3× the number of pixels, perhaps as an attempt to claim the unit is 'widescreen'. ) It is a 16-bit system that appears to utilize some form of arcade emulation, since the majority of its games are either direct ports or clones of arcade games. The unit has the capability of being displayed on any TV set with the purchase of a separate “starter kit” that includes a storage carrying case and special AV cables unique to the system. There are no save features for high scores or game progress. Caplet comes in four colors: blue, silver, red, orange; and is powered by 3 AAA batteries. Comes with 50 built-in games: Space Invaders (licensed arcade port) Bust-A-Move (licensed arcade port) BurgerTime (licensed arcade port) Sudoku Quiz (something of a misnomer, as there is no quiz included) Boxboy Adventures of Waldog Deep Storm (3d shooter like StarFox) Bubble Wubble Final Escape Wolfy's Quest Legendary Hero (clone of don-doko-don) Craig the Caterpillar (Go! Go! Smile Mile clone) Crystal Cavern Final Round Tennis! Magic Jelly (nothing like Bomberman, the goal is to use your bombs to change the color of every block on the screen, without leaping to your death. ) Blazebusters Rotating Puzzle (animated slide puzzle game) Underwater Pinball Bubble Blaster Greedy Grabber Puzzle Chance Victory Road Jet Racing Yummy and Tasty (Gussun Oyoyo clone) Code Name: Plumber (game) Hanoi Tower Leapfrog Win or Lose Pop goes the Ball! Kart Racer X (overhead racer) Battle Blocks II Switch and Mix Survival Challenge Go Back Home! Motojet Mania (overhead racer) Tiger Rescue Billiards Master Mr. Onion Wacky Racing Tennis Caddie Blaze of Glory Underwater Memory Crane Maniac Go Bang Jewel Master 2 Smashing Ladybugs Submarine Slot Machine (casino game) Video Poker (casino game) Black Jack (casino game) There seems to be some confusion as to how many games are on the units. Early versions of the Caplet contain 35 games, with the current version having 50. Both units, as far as outward appearance, are identical. The packaging of the unit is the only outward way to identify how many games are on the system, that is, unless you actually turn the unit on.
