Tell me about this system: Maybe a cartridge Pong system?

I've only seen a couple other Pong systems that took carts...only the Telesport IV comes to mind. What is this thing? Is it even whast I think it is?

My first guess (based on the controllers) would be an Arcadia clone.

My second guess (based on the name) would be an Intellivision clone.

Edited to add:

Yep, it's an Arcadia 2001 variation.

From this site--http://www.users.bigpond.com/james.j...gameguide.html:

"The term "Emerson Arcadia 2001" as used herein refers to this entire console family. There are many members of this console family, but all may be classified into three groups: the "true Arcadia" group, the "MPT-03" group and the "Palladium" (VCG) group. There are differences between these groups which prevent some programs from running correctly on members of other groups. Appropriate emulator settings are noted below."

It's not a pong-type system, it's a clone of the (in the USA) Emerson Arcadia 2001.

You can find MPT-03 games in our database in the Arcadia 2001 section. Check it out!

Ah, mystery solved! Thanks, Wufners! I should have noted those controllers.
