Games edit
With the integrated MM57100N chipset from National Semiconductor,[6] players can choose from the following three games:[7]
- pingue pongue
- futebol
- paredão
The system produced black and white graphics because the output was in NTSC and the standard in Brazil was exclusively PAL-M in the 70s and 80s. If connected to an NTSC TV it will be in color.[5]
