The OC 4 is a nice and funky handheld pong produced by the French company, Société Occitane d'Electronique.

Like most pong systems of its time, it uses the General Instruments AY-3-8500 chipset, which offers 4 paddle games + 2 shooting games not implemented here as there is no connector for a light gun.

Each player hold one of the paddle. Player 1 paddle holds all the main electronic of the system and this is where game selection and options are operated. The other paddle (player 2), holds the built-in speaker.
