The consoles (which sold at the unusually low $150 and $100, respectively) could allegedly play games from numerous different systems, and were speculated by many to be rebranded Chinese emulators.

However, due to the fact that the special takes place in the past the game is only available on an emulator for the ZX Spectrum, a kind of PC released in Britain in the 1980’s.
