It works but my polish PAL tv doesn't seem to like it very much, it took a lot of tuning to get this wonderful image.

That might have Pong but it isn't Pong.

I wonder about the "Colour". Did they actually use the different video outputs of the AY-3-8500 chip for controlling different colour signals instead just joining them as a luminance signal?
For those too young to know: The AY-3-8500 (or AY-3-8500-1 fo NTSC) chip is at the heart of almost all of those pong-type consoles. It has a number of different (but synchronized) video outputs for left player, right player, ball, numbers, and playing field, and most consoles just or'ed them together into luminance (Y) to make a simple B&W image. You could route some signals to the R-Y and/or the B-Y signal to give them some basic color, e.g. if you sent the "ball" signal both to the luminance and the red (R-Y) channel, you would get a red ball. All this needs are a handful of simple logic gates.

I had a black and white version of this.
All the games were basically the same apart from the target shooting game.
