Hardware Description

This is a New Zealand made pong console with the name Videosport. What is nice about this console is the wooden housing and veneer finish. It is not cheapened by the plastic that all other NZ manufactured consoles I know about were made of. Another feature of this console is that it automatically turns on into a demo mode or playing of a game. Coupled with the in-built speaker, what you have is an excellent pong sound effects machine. No need to plug into the tele, just find a power point anywhere and you can fill the room with that classic pong noise, or what I like to imagine, that sci-fi movie like sound for detecting the proximity and location for aliens and the like.
