Description

This pong is one of the many Binatone systems. As its name indicates, it offers 8 games.

The first series, TV Master Systems, are all black & white pongs, whereas later Colour TV games have color display. There do not seem to be an equivalent of the TV master MK 8 in the Colour TV Game series (8 games); mostly because there were no pong-in-a-chip chipset offering 8 color games available.

Game selection is made through a big rotating knob placed at the center of the system case. The two detachable analog joysticks can be stored in slide-in compartments located on both sides of the case. The shape of this plastic case is fairly common and many pongs could be found with the same design.
