I think it was pong, doubles pong, hockey, doubles hockey. hockey being pong where you had to get it in the goal in the 20% of the middle of your opponents end but the other 80% was just like the side walls. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] moopet@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago I have a Binatone one in a crate here with essentially the same selection of games on it. It was a really common thing to clone, there was one chip that played them all. permalink fedilink source parent
