I think it was made by Magnavox. But back then we were completely hard up for ANY kind of video game system. I bought it from my brother because he convinced me it was a sophisticated computer inside. I'd be taking a cat nap in my room and my friend Dave would be playing Blackjack on it and sure enough: "HONK! HONK! HOOOONK!" every few seconds as I winced each time.
