ZAPiT Game Wave Family Entertainment System ROMs.
The ZAPiT Game Wave was released in October of 2005 in Canada. It is essentially a game console that plays interactive simple group-oriented titles like trivia, traditional board games, word games, and card games. The device can also be used as a basic DVD Player. The Game Wave began selling in the North America with a retail price of $99.
What makes Game Wave slightly different is its use of individual color coded Infra-Red remote controls that can accommodate up to 6 players simultaneously. Imagine a game show where a player has to buzz in their answer. A player using a red controller for example would interact as the red onscreen player. The audio / visual quality of the games is about on par with an interactive video. The console is geared to casual gamers seeking social interaction, and a group gaming experience.
The Game Wave was designed by a company called Nytric. The console utilizes standard low cost DVD player components and connects to televisions using the same audio / video connections. They added a system-on-a-chip setup containing Altera MAX II Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) chipset. This allowed Game Wave to be manufactured and sold for a low retail price.
The ZAPiT Game Wave comes with 4 color coded remote with batteries, and a pack-in trivia game called 4 Degrees. Additional games retailed for $25, and a package containing two more remotes (for the total of 6 players) sold separately for $25.
