From HandWiki
The Turnir (Russian: Турнир, lit. Tournament) is a dedicated first-generation home video game console that was manufactured by the Ministry of the Electronics Industry and released in 1978 only in the Soviet Union.[1][2] It was manufactured between 1978 and 1982 and is the only known Soviet video game console that uses the AY-3-8500 chipset from General Instrument. The price for the system varied from 150 Soviet rubles in 1978 to 96 rubles in the late 1980s.[3] The console uses an integrated AC adapter with a voltage of 9 volts and has a mass of 2.5 kg.[4]
Games
Due to the integrated AY-8-8500 chip, the Turnir is able to play the following four games:
- Tennis (Russian: теннис), the standard Pong
- Hockey/Football (Russian: хоккей/футбол), in which each player has two paddles
- Squash (Russian: сквош), in which each player plays the ball off of one wall
- Training (Russian: тренировка), a one-paddle mode for practice
