Interestingly enough, this came up in a search while I was looking for the Sega console...

It wasn't listed in the Rarity Guide, but I assume it's a deriative of some early 70's console (Channel F, Studio II, etc.). It's probably a different console marketed under a different name for the UK crowd, but I can't seem to find it's origins. Can anybody else shed some light on this?

It's another of those dime-a-dozen cartridge Pongs - you can usually identify them by the fact that thay have 10 buttons built into the system itself.

I thought it might've been one of those as well, but I figured that since it took cartridges it was a bit more advanced than that. Guess I was mistaken. Thanks for the info!

This is a strange console indeed. Difficult to track down what exactally it is, as many different websites refer to it as a clone on several different machines.

However, the detal of Dark Watcher's Console History proves that this is a member of the PC-50X Cart family.

An interesting game console; sort of a midway point between the 1st and 2nd generation.
