This family of pong machines was based off the General Instruments AY-3-8500 chips. These consoles were common in Europe.

For some reason there seems to be oodles of these things all over Europe, mainly due to the fact that Europe didn't see the immediate release of the Atari and Intellivision consoles, which gave indie companies more time to sell their own (cheap) systems. These systems are easily identifiable by the presence of ten buttons or switches that select the game modes. Graphics are essentially pong, and sound is of the bleep bleep
