+      I used to own one of these babies - in fact it was my first encounter with something which would display "graphic" games on a TV screen... The graphic was simple block graphic - just like the Commodore VIC20 or similar.
+
+      I can remember that the cartridge which came with the system was a ball games - and one of the games "Gitterball" drove my dad mad! It was a games where you would wriggle the joystick up and down and keep the other player from getting the ball through your mesh - the noise was most annoying!

+
+This is another incarnation of the classic systems using cartridges based on General Instruments chips.
+
+Ten small buttons, horizontaly arranged, are used to select the different games offered by the inserted cartridge. The playing options are activated by the three switches labeled A, B and C. The joystick are detachable and are connected to the system through connectors placed on each side. At the back of the system is a very useful item: a volume control knob !
+
+The cartridge released are the classic ones for these systems using cartridges based on General Instrument chips: Ball games, Motorcycle, Car racing, Submarine, Wipeout, Tank battle and maybe Shooting gallery. These are generic english titles. Real titles are in German.
+
+The shooting games require the use of a light gun. It's not clear if the MBO Tele-Cassete 1 can use one, and thus if there is such a cartridge for this system (anyone can confirm this?).
+
+This system was also marketed as the [Palladium Tele-Cassetten-Game](/museum/palladium-tele-cassetten-game/) and **Optim 600**...

+**Steen Larsen** (Denmark) reports:\
+I have the Tank game, and it works well, and probably only with the analog controllers, because you use the analog steering to "bend" and curve the fired projectile ! This is by far the best game for the sytem !!
