This pong from Philips (1977) is a bit special. It uses the unusual AY-3-8550 from General Instruments. This chips offers 4 classic pong games (Tennis, Squash, Squash practice, Football) and 2 shooting games. The paddles can be moved verticaly AND horizontaly, hence the analog joysticks (instead of the classic sliders). The display is in color.
There is a female DIN plug at the bottom-right part of the case. It is used to connect an optional light-gun to play the two shooting games.
There are switches to control the different options like ball speed, paddle size, angle 20°/40°, manual/auto service. There are two buttons: reset and serve. There is even a TV channel selection knob to adjust the picture on the TV.
The Las Vegas ES-2208 is in fact one of the Las Vegas pong systems from Philips. Here is the list:

I bought one month ago a AtariMax 8MBit Cartridge for Atari that had the wrong label on it, it is a 1mbit in place of a 8mbit.
This is a free replacement 8mbit cartridge from Steven J.Tucker (AtariMax).
Many Thanks Steven.

from Engadget homepage:
Barry’s back, kids! The CEO of Commodore USA just informed us that, in addition to slapping Commodore stickers on various all-in-one PCs, he has acquired the rights to the Amiga name (we only hope that the process went a little smoother this time around).
The plan is to sell machines that fully support AROS — an open source variant of AmigaOS 3.1 that the kids seem to go crazy for.
We can’t wait to get a look at these bad boys, but for now it looks like we’ll have to do with the picture of an old Amiga 3000. …more

This is my Commodore Amiga 3000. I used this computer for many years, example: for my BBS “Hidden Power“, coding Amiga / Snes Demos & Trainer and other fun stuff.
I decided to pull out of the box and try if still works, i must say that everything works like 15 years ago (including the Harddisk).
Description:
from Wikipedia:
Released in June 1990, The Commodore Amiga 3000 was the third major release in the Amiga computer family. It revealed a much more focused and sincere attempt to build a high-end professional multimedia computer, boasting improved processing speed, better rendering of graphics, and a revision of the increasingly haggard operating system.
Its predecessors, the Amiga 500,1000 and 2000, shared the same fundamental system architecture and consequently performed without considerable variance in processing speed despite considerable variance in purchase price. The A3000 however, was entirely reworked and rethought as a genuine high-end workstation.
The new Motorola 32-bit 68030 CPU, 68882 math co-processor, and 32-bit system memory helped increase the “integer” processing speed by a factor of 5 to 18, and the “floating point” processing speed by a factor of 7 to 200 times. The new 32-bit Zorro III expansion slots provided for faster and more powerful expansion capabilities.
