+
+This console is only a prototype designed in 1980 by designer Iain Sinclair for Promotors Ltd based in Hong-Kong. It's unclear if this particular model has ever been produced or not, but chances are not.
+
+What is striking is the ressemblance between this prototype and [Emerson Arcadia 2001](/museum/emerson-arcadia-2001/) or [Interton VC-4000](/museum/interton-vc-4000/) compatible systems: two detachable controllers made of a keypad and an analog joystick, several buttons on the control panel...
+
+But the most obvious hint is that all these obscure clone systems were also made in Asia and mainly in Hong-Kong. It sounds like this Palladium Game Console was one of those systems intended to be sold worldwide under different brand names.
+
+The name of this system is not to be confused with German company Palladium which also marketed an Arcadia 2001 clone, the Palladium Video-Computer-Game. Or are both systems linked in any way?
