The Palladium Video-Computer-Game is one of the many systems "software-compatible" with the [Emerson Arcadia 2001](/museum/emerson-arcadia-2001/).
Though, the Emerson Arcadia 2001 is the most popular system of this console group, it was not necessarily at the origin of it. Things must be seen differently. Philips / Signetics developped a hardware platform to demonstrate the possibilities of their Signetics 2650 & 2636 chipsets. Somehow, this hardware was licenced (by Philips?) to many third-companies around the world resulting in systems like the [Interton VC-4000](/museum/interton-vc-4000/), [Voltmace DataBase](/museum/voltmace-database-games-computer/), [Acetronic MPU-1000](/museum/acetronic-mpu-1000-2000/), ITMC MPT-05, etc.
Some times later, the hardware was improved, with the use of a Signetics 2637 instead of the 2636 (handling the audio & video), somehow resulting in a new wave of licenced systems, all based on the same hardware and playing the same games. This console group includes : the [Emerson Arcadia 2001](/museum/emerson-arcadia-2001/), [Advision Home-Arcade](/museum/advision-home-arcade/), Prestige MPT-03, Tele-Fever, etc. and the Palladium Video-Computer-Game.
All these systems (based on the 2650 & 2637 chipsets) are "software-compatible" with each others. It means that they all could play each other games if their cartridge slots were identical (which is not the case, resulting in sub-groups).
The Palladium Video-Computer-Game was marketed at least in Germany.
The Video-Computer-Game is equiped with two detachable controllers made of a screwable analog joystick and a 16-button keypad (rubber buttons). Small plastic overlays were delivered with each game, explaining the different key functions when placed over the keypads (like with the [Mattel Intellivision](/museum/mattel-electronics-intellivision/)).
The Control panel is made of 4 buttons (Start, Reset, Selector A and B) and a power switch.
The Palladium Video-Computer-Game is not be confused with another Palladium cartridge model, the [Tele-Cassetten-Game](/museum/palladium-tele-cassetten-game/). The **Mr Altus** and **Polybrain** systems are however the same system marketed under different brands.
