Philips G7000

In 1978, light bulbs and electronics manufacturer, Philips, also launched a videogame console, the Philips G7000. The device used a black controller, held in one hand, with an eight-direction stick that was manipulated with the other hand. In the upper corner of the joystick was a single 'Action' button. The strongest point of the system was its speech synthesis unit, which was released as an add-on for speech and sound-effects enhancement.
