   @felicia,

   The games are not gory and bloody. They are all more like old Atari games or Commodore PC games without so many millions of colors but still very colorful and lots of fun. Some are clones of older arcade games such as Pac-Man and Space Invaders, etc.

   There was a driving game, a motocross motorcycle racing game, and many others that looked good on this review. Just disregard what the spoiled brat kid says who is doing the review about how crappy they are. He’s one who has all the latest and most expensive games that cost $30 to $60 for just one stinking game cartridge, I’m sure. I suppose we’d all be as ignorant if we had a rich daddy too.

   If you want inexpensive but very entertaining fun, then BUY IT… At $29.99 at C.V.S. stores that’s less than $1 per game with a free console!

   @Carl,

   P. S. You can buy a variable power adapter/reducer at Radio Shack for any 3 to 12 volt device and never worry about having a power adapter for any such device in your home again.

   The zone 40 wireless gaming console adapter doesn’t come with the game? Thinking of buying this for my daughter.

   For the price I feel it is a great deal. I’m sure people in there teens won’t like it but I think adults on a tight budget or low income will like it. I am 44 yrs. old and my parents are in their 60’s ,we both own one and enjoy it very much. I also have neighbors on fixed incomes that are going to purchase one.

   I wish I could remember more, but I do recall tennis and “balloon shooting.” Personally, I think it looks like crap and would never imagine buying one. But I’m probably bias because I’m a pretty hardcore gamer. I’d say go with an actually wii if you can. You won’t be limited to 40 knockoff titles.

   I mean you pay for what you get the Wii is four times, the price. It might be “better” but by the end of next year there will be a another version..Stupid and pointless, to flush money down the toilet!

   Someone gave this to my son, and its very cool. He’s happy and the Zone 40 wireless gaming console games are nice. Granted it is not a Wii, but if you looking to entertain a 7-yr. old this is a nice alternative. I am very grateful for the gift!

   Can you use the the tennis or the steering wheel like on the wii on this. I just bought my grandsons one for Christmas ages 6 & 7. They had the attachment on the shelf with the zone 40 but when I got to the register they said it wasn’t for the zone it was for the wii game. Then why was it with the zone system. JUST ASKING IF YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS,

8. Games Installed in Zone 40 Wireless Gaming Console | Gadgets on November 16th, 2009 4:12 pm

   [...] are 40 games installed in every Zone 40 wireless gaming console (a Nintendo Wii clone, according to some observers). Unfortunately you cannot additional [...]

9. John on November 26th, 2009 12:53 pm

   I just bought this game console, and yes the graphics are not even close to a wii, but for the price the system is not terrible. The games are fun, especially fencing, tennis, baseball..there is about 15 interactive games and the rest are arcade games. The interactive games use the same kind of motion a wii uses..the other games you just push the buttons on the wireless game controller.

   The controllers need 3 aaa batteries not included. The a/c adapter is not included either..

   CVS sells this system right now (during the holidays) for $30-40 depending if you have a extra care card..the adpater is Free-$5..depending on the sale. Overall, a great gift for a child under 12 or a adult who isn’t into gaming but would like to play a video game every so often like me!

    Can you use the attachments like the tennis club, steering wheel etc like you do for wii? There were some with the game when I bought mine but when I got to the register they said u do know this is for wii not zone 40. Why would they put it with the game if its not for the game???? Can anyone answer this please.

    Im having trouble getting it to come up on the tv. I tried the video1 input/output and I stil cant get anything..We have Dish Network and was wondering if the main tv had to be on channel 3 or 4..I tried that but it still wouldn’t work..Any suggestions?

16. Peggy on January 10th, 2010 6:04 pm

    No instructions came with my console on how to set up the TV to play. Can someone help me get this set up?

17. Cindy K. on January 11th, 2010 9:36 pm

    I have dish network also and the tv has to be on channel 3. Also if it is not coming up on your tv make sure your tv is set to ‘game’. I bought this just to have something to play with occasionally. I think it’s great! I love the bowling and tennis games which require you to move just like you would with the Wii. I bought it at CVS. The clerks at my CVS actually had one set up and they play it when they’re not busy. They said they sold a lot of these at Christmas and have had none returned. The list of games are: Fencing, Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Ping Pong, Bowling, Soccer, Fishing, Swimming, Basketball, Darts. Then there is Sword Warrior, Chessmaster, Motor Storm (racing game), High Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump, 100 meters, 100 Hurdles, Walking Race, Discus, Javeling, The Mouse and teh Cat, Undersea Adventure, Zuma, Highway Racing, Dancing Girls, Box World, Squares, Fire man ( sort of like the old Mario Bros.) Bomber-Man, Hitting Mice, Shooting Balloons, Snakes, Archery, Fish WAr, Sudoku, Tanks, Speed Racing, and Bee Fighting. It’s obviously not a Wii but for occasional play it is great. Personally I like this because I can think of a lot of other things I would rather spend a couple of hundred dollars on than a Wii not to mention the price of the games.
