A classic looking German pong with colour video and 10 built-in games, including 2 shooting games (similar to the PC-501 "Supersportic" cartridge for SD-0x0 systems).

This system was sold in Europe by the "Quelle International" German mail order company under its own hi-fi and video equipment brand, Universum. All labels and manuals are written in German.

As there is no gun, the shooting games (one and two players) are played with the joysticks. Holes are provided in the case for two gun sockets but unfortunately they are not implemented on this model...
