Hardware Description

This pong is one of the many Binatone systems. As its name indicates, it offers 10 games : 8 pong games (basket 1, basket 2, gridball, squash 1, squash 2, football, tennis, ice hockey) and 2 shooting games (target 1, target 2). It is the most complete of the Binatone TV Master series (black & white pongs). The TV master series are black & white pongs (first generation). The TV Master MK 10 system is the same as the Colour TV Game MK 10 except that games are in black & white, while the Colour TV game displays color games. Game selection is made through 10 individual push buttons. The two detachable controllers are composed of an analog joystick and a fire button. The shape of the plastic case is different from the Binatone Colour TV Game MK 10, which is to be noted as the Colour TV game systems usually use the same one as their TV Master counterparts. Interestingly enough, both shooting games are not played with a light gun but directly with the analog joysticks.
