The Universum TV-Spiel 1004 is a classic pong system powered by the AY-3-8500 chipset which offers 4 different games (Tennis, Hockey, Squash and Handball), hence its name (100**4**). This system is quite unusual because of its weird triangular shape, and is thus sometimes referred to as the "boomerang pong".
|
|
|
|
The controllers are very simple: two sliders built into the case of the system... The games are selected through a big orange knob placed in the middle of the case. The usual switches complete the control panel: Power on/off, Ball speed pro/am, Ball angle pro/am, Paddle size pro/am, Service manual/auto...
|
|
|
|
This particular model seems to have only been sold in Germany.

The Universum 1004 is the German version. The same game existed under several other brands: Unitrex Video Pro (USA), Digitek 2001 (USA), Radio Shack TV Scoreboard 60-3052 (USA). Several similar games were released with different controllers: AudioSonic PP-600 (Europe), Concord (model unknown), Regina (model unknown, UK), Ingersol (model unknown, UK), etc.
