The 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System was first made by Radofin in Europe in 1976. It was then licensed to other companies to make their versions in other countries. These companies are: Acetronic, Prinztronic, Fountain, Grandstand, Audiosonic, Hanimex and Lansay, each making consoles for different parts of the world. Some of these variations were identical to the original but with different logos, while others looked a lot different.
The 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System uses 32-pin cartridges (16 pins on either side). The system comes with 2 controllers, which are hard-wired to the system. These controllers have 12 buttons and a 2-axis analogue control stick (look similar to ColecoVision, Intellivision, etc). The pack-in games that came with most systems were Olympics and Invaders.
The system is part of a group of consoles that all use a Signetics 2650A CPU inside (the same processor used in the Emerson Arcadia 2001). This group of consoles is believed to have started with the Interton VC-4000 (produced as early as 1974, but sold in 1978), because out of the group, this console has the largest amount of games. The games on the 1292 are also similar to the games on the Interton VC-4000 (some have same titles and numbers).
