This original system from Nintendo offers car racing games. To move your car you use the steering wheel and gear shifter. This must have been impressive in 1978. Arcade game at home!

Two detachable paddles (dials) can also be used for two-players games, each player control his car with the dial, acceleration being automatic in two players games. Several switches on the control panel are used to select games and difficulty settings. Overall, 112 game combinations are possible, hence the name of the system!

According to some sources, the Racing 112 was also marketed by Sony...
