Retro Gaming: This is a 1978 PC-50x Machine. Specifically the Radofin Telesports iii, but there were many clones at the time, some of which (Prinztronic, Acetronic) is compatible. Not to be confused with the later 1292 series, which has a keypad controller and greater functionality and game library.
Officially, 7 different games were released on the system, with an 8th game something of an urban myth. Different clones had different releases of these 7 games, often with different sized cases and name changes to make collecting both confusing but potentially possible by mixing and matching from different sets. There is no gameplay differences between 100x, 200x, 300x, 500x series, though some have individual controller ports on the back of the cartridge.
This system is played via its original RF signal through a VCR machine to convert signal to composite, which splits its sound and video; into a SCART cable in this format. That then gets converted to '720p' HDMI signal to be captured in my usual device.
This game is 5003 Stunt Cycle, probably ported from the Atari Arcade machine of the same name in 1976 and probably the first home video game with motorcycles, a timer, a sense of increasing difficulty, a counter that goes over 15 and some degree of skill involved. The game has four modes, mixing two elements of gameplay. The first game is Stunt Rider, where you try to build up speed without absolutely flooring it which causes you to crash and jump over a number of cars, represented by the right hand number which starts at 8 and counts up one for every level completed and goes beyond 15. The left hand number is your number of attempts which counts up to a maximum of 7 (8 tries). The second game is Dirt Rider, where you seem to have to wheelie past the middle points on a row and get the fastest time possible. The third game is a simple race to the finish: Time Trials to get the fastest time possible. The final game is Moto-Jump, mixing Stunt and Dirt Rider with the car counter but not the timer. In the next generation of Video Games, Horse Racing appears to be the "upgraded" version of this game.
