Atari 2600 clone - '128 games built-in'

This is an Atari 2600 clone with 128 games built-in. It's origin must be somewhere in the arabic world, perhaps Turkey; the manufacturer is unknown...
The bottom of the case reads:

VIDEO COMPUTER SYSTEM
MODEL NO.: B2600
RATING: DC7.5V300MA

This console is built into a 2600A case with some differences:

1) The 'b/w'-switch was replaced with an 'auto search' switch for selecting the games without restarting (remember the 32-in-1 cartridge by Atari)
2) A channel-selector is located on the back fn the console
3) The case isn't as heavy as the original Atari one (cheaper plastic)


All of the games are from well-known software-companies like Atari, Activision, Imagic, etc. It seems obvious that none of these companies were asked for permission to use those software-titles in this console!

The PCB is quite interesting: there are only two chips on it: one ROM, holding all the games, and one 'custom-chip', including all the 2600's hardware.
