Description
Before "real" computers hit the consumer market a lot of companies sold a "pong" game console. Commodore had bought MOS Technologies and MOS also made a pong chip. In the 2000K Commodore used the 7600 (NTSC) and the 7601 (PAL) chip. The 2000K can be operated with and external power supply or on batteries. The 2000k hit the shops around 1976/77.
Most pongs were build around one chip. The 7600/1 was a simple microprocessor that could read the build in ROM to create the game. The TV display was also handled by the 7600/1. The display has four colors. The console even had sound. The beep came out of a build in speaker.
