TRIVIA

It is one of the first possibly the first game created for the 1292 AVPS console group (it is often labeled as cartridge 1).

The 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System was first made by a European company called Radofin in 1976. The technology was licensed to other companies throughout the UK. Acetronic, Prinztronic, Fountain, Grandstand, Audiosonic, Hanimex and Lansay, each made consoles based on Radofin's console for different parts of the world. Some of these variations were identical to the original but with different logos, while others varied the external design completely.

The Interton VC 4000 was also released in Europe. The overall design and specs are similar to the 1292 APVS family, but it is unclear whether this unit was licensed by Radofin or developed before (as they claim). The console was supposedly developed by Interton in 1974, but released in 1978. Both Interton and Radofin were German based companies.

The many companies releasing an AVPS console used their own numbering and titles which led often to a dozen of different titles for the same game.

Interton released this game as "Ballspiele [Cassette No. 3]".
