View Full Version : Anyone remember this old game system?
When I was a kid we had this game system that was silver in color and played pong, some game where each player had 2 paddles and tried to hit the ball into a "goal" (which was a hole in the wall behind your paddles) and some target shooting game (some white square moved around the screen and you shot at it with a lightgun). What I remember most about the system was that the paddle controls weren't knobs you spin but rather sliders that you could unplug from the console and use handheld.
Was just wondering what the heck that way old system was...

Well, that could describe a huge number of old pong systems, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and take a wild guess. I have a hunch you're talking about the same system I had as a kid, and nostalgically longed for and wished I could identify for years, until I happened to find the exact Pong clone I had had as a kid on a table at Philly Classic 3. (Now THAT'S a run-on sentence!)
I am pretty sure the system was called the Ultrasonic 2000. I'm trying to find a link to anything about it, even just a picture so you can decide whether or not that was yours. If I find anything, I'll post back.

It's a Unisonic Tournament 2000.
That's the one I had as a kid. From your description it could be the one you had as well.

I've been asking this question the last 10 years to no avail.
I just found it about an hour ago thanks to Google and Ebay.
After the hundreds of Pong systems I've seen on the internet looking for it,
I honestly thought I might have just been dreamed the whole thing up.
