2 flipper buttons on both side of the system simulating a real Pinball. There is also a big red button on top of the case to launch the ball in the playfield. This button may be used in two ways: a short tap will shoot the ball out slowly and a long press will shoot the ball out faster.

The pinball games' display is totally adjustable: 3 sliding knobs (on the left side of the unit) can adjust the playfield (bumpers and chutes) up and down so you have completely different ball action in each game.

Controllers: Two pinball buttons on the side of the system and a rifle for shooting games
CPU: Coleco MPS 7600
Colors: Yes
Sound: Built-in beeper
