These were released by Team Pixelboy last month. Here is a recent AtariAge post about it: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/327644-team-pixelboy-news-bulletin-november-26th-2021/

I noticed on the web site

it says the "Super Game Module" is required to play. What the heck is that??

It came out in 2012 and it is rare. You can get one on Ebay for about $350. Here is a video review:
