Lovely cassette futurism* design.
*Honestly I don't know what to call it.

Yeah, that’s usually the term. Also, it doesn’t see much action, but: !cassettefuturism@lemmy.world

Looks similar to the old Radofin TV game unit I used to have. 10 games, and most of them were Pong variants.
Makes sense. The Soviets cloned a few Western machines. They had a clone of the ZX Spectrum too.

Most of the video in the aericle is about how *+rare+* it is. Is there even a part where they use it?
