So instead of having ten thousand of these things all over the place I've decided to put them all on one page since they are all essentially clones of the same machine. For those of you who don't know these are game consoles from the early days back when Pong machines were the norm. Although the very first game console ever introduced the concept of interchangeable carts for some reason the idea didn't catch on too quick and for a few years all-in-one Pong consoles were the norm. Problem was that once you got bored of Hockey, squash, football, or whatever and you wanted to play a tennis game or something then you had to buy a whole new system. Hard to imagine that Pong systems used to cost hundreds of dollars back in the day. So the public hungered for new games and so many companies made consoles based around the General Instruments PC 50X series of chips, which are essentially the same games found on the normal pong consoles. However some variation was introduced via this method.
As time went on the games got more complicated than the usual pong variations and started including racing and light gun games. However with the introduction of consoles that used Roms for true programmability these systems became obsolete overnight. For some reason there seems to be oodles of these things all over Europe, mainly due to the fact that Europe didn't see the immediate release of the Atari and Intellivision consoles, which gave indie companies more time to sell their own (cheap) systems. These systems are easily identifiable by the presence of ten buttons or switches that select the game modes. Graphics are essentially pong, and sound is of the bleep bleep variety.
