caption_attribution_description: English: The rear-facing side of the internal PCB of a game cartridge based around the GI AY-3-8610. This one was designed for the Prinztronic Tournament Colour Programmable 2000, though I believe it may also work with other consoles.
context_page_description: The PC-50x Family is a series of home video game consoles belonging to the first generation prevalent in Europe between 1975 and the early 1980s, all produced in Asia. The designation PC-50x of the series derives from the name of the cartridges.
  The consoles do not have a central processor; all the games are implemented thanks to the individual chips in the cartridges, all based on the chip family AY-3-8xxx of General Instrument. The family also includes the so-called "9015" series in which it changes the name and changes the shape of the cartridges but uses the same AY-3-8xxx chips.
