Got it from a K-Mart no less - basically PONG and HOCKEY - dual paddle Pong is all that was - with a target pistol that was crap. But it got me hooked! Anyone remember the UNISONIC 2000's?

I myself have a Unisonic Sportsman. There are many variations of different pong systems, and all of them do pretty much the same thing. Still fun to collect though.

Hey strangedogs,

The T2000 was my first game console, too! I realize this thread is several months old, but personal recollections of Unisonic's game systems aren't too common. I have memories of playing this thing sometime around 1982, when it was already a few years old. I remember the light gun was made of a metal heavy enough that I had a hard time holding the gun steady, and the rifle attachments made the gun too long for me to hold comfortably. Before long, our family replaced it with an Atari 2600 and an Atari 800XL.

The thing is, the games just did not seem compelling enough for a child of my age, and I was much more interested in the hardware. I was age five or six at the time; I remember musing over the numerous peculiarities of the T2000's interface.
