PC-50x family: First generation video games at home

The PC-50x family includes some of the earliest home consoles in Europe. They are based on simple game chips in cartridges, often pong-like sports and racing games with few, clear modes.

Chip-based cartridges and many variants

Here, the game is in the cartridge itself, not in the console. Many models are rebranded versions from different countries, but use the same AY-3-8xxx chip family. This makes the series exciting for those who want to nerd out about the details.

For collectors of early gaming history

PC-50x consoles and cartridges are suitable for those who want to collect first generation video games before the NES and other 8-bit consoles. If you want to broaden your collection, you can also check out other retro formats in our Retro Games category.
