All in all, it's a fascinating little machine. So early, the first generation of video game systems. And while it's incredibly simple, it very much gets the job done, you can easily understand the game and the three times two modes give at least a little variety in a time prior to cartridges. 9/9

So that's three modes - the other three are created by the "doubles" setting. The pictures shown so far are all singles. But with doubles you get... two rackets each. Awesome! Each player moves their racket up and down with their knob, or you can use both single player, which I find difficult. 8/9

The game itself is just a pong clone. But with a twist! Because the game isn't calles "Color TV-Game 6" with no reason. It has three modes. Seen above is tennis. Next is soccer, the difference are the walls around the court. Lastly there is volleball. It has a few rows of pins in the middle. 7/9

With this chain, I transform the NTSC-J RF signal into NTSC composite, to PAL composite, and lastly to PAL RF because I'm a little purist like that. Back in the day it was played with fuzzy RF quality, so that's what I use. 6/9

And to use this Japanese system on my European TV, I built the following chain: Hardwired RCA cable, RCA port to port connector, RCA to belling-lee cable, RF to composite converter box, RCA cables, AV NTSC to PAL box, RCA cables, AV to RF box, belling-lee cable, CRT TV. 5/9
