Radofin
This Radofin Pong console is an early pong clone for the French market. Rather than the turn-style knobs to play the games, this console uses sliders. For Tennis style games, this made the response times of the player a bit faster as it is easier to slide up and down fast, than turn a knob. The controllers were wired, and could be stored inside the console.
The console featured four games: Tennis, Foot-ball, Pelote Basque (squash), Mur Dentrainement(Squash against a wall).Switches on the front of the machine would change the ball speed, or choose between manual or automatic serve. Sound was provided by a built-in speaker. The device was powered with a 9V DC adapter, or 6 1.5 C-Type batteries.
