Hardware Description

Bag-A-Tel Ep-800 is a pong console released by Calfax in 1977. It plays four Pong variants like its predecessor (the EP500). The games are Tennis, Hockey, Squash and Practice. However, instead of the General Instruments AY-3-8500, the Texas Instruments TMS-1955 dedicated pong chip is used. This iteration of the console also features detachable paddles rather than them being on the console itself.
