But it may be an upgraded port.

Many other TV games by the same company have a few Genesis games, running with a mini Genesis that fits on a chip. The "muddier" graphics of the pad could be explained by a reduced color palette (the Genesis could only display 64 colors simultaneously, IIRC).

If the company had another chip in the pad, they would have already released other games based on it. The other gamepads are just embedded multiboot cartridges though (Sega collection 1 & 2, Sensible Software games, SF2'+CE). I believe someone has modded one of these pads to run any Genesis cartridge (but requires plugging a bunch of wires).

The only bad thing about these gamepads though is that they have mono sound, and no mixing. They could have thrown in a stereo jack if they thought a second cable was too expensive...
