An original system with it's army design. It plays a classic combat game found on some of "Pong generation" systems... The two player game and its 4 variations are built-in the AY-3-8700-1 chipset from General Instruments. This game could also be found on some cartridge systems based on the GI chipsets.
|
|
|
|
The two-handed joystick controls simulate the commands, just like in a real tank. Each set is fitted with a fire button on top of the right stick. There is a reset button, an on/off switch and game selection switch (from 1 to 4). There are even suction cup feet to secure the console to the table.
|
|
|
|
It's got two seperate HP, one for tank engine sounds and the other one for weapon firing sounds.
