A small european pong found in France. It uses a Texas-Instrument chip (TMS-1965) which plays 6 classic pong games. It used the same plastic case as the Commodore TV Game 2000K.

The system can be used with a gun to play the two shooting games. The gun-connection is made at the back of the system via two little "jack" plugs.

Also on the left side of the control panel is a small screw used to adjust the display horizontal adjustment.

The system was made in Korea.
