In UK, Prinztronic was the market brand used by Dixons Group for their electronics.

This system is original because of its large selector in the middle of the front panel. Small and easy to carry. It offers the classic 6 games of the General Instruments AY-3-8500 chipset, including two shooting games playable with an optional light gun.

This system will be followed by the Videosport 800, which offers more games (8) and a colour display.
