So you are only missing ES2212  BTW the electronics inside the cartridges are really 'complex': http://www.pong-story.com/spiel.htm

Nice find, Gert. Is it a pong or a console. I really curious about how the racing game works.

It's a pong console.  The two "analog" games of my Videopac pong game are based on the ES2201. The race game consists of two curved vertical lines (the street) and your "car". The curves are moving up or down, so with your controller you have to move your car to the left and right to follow the curves, because the game ends when your car touches a line. The speed of the curves can be changed, and also the distance between the two lines.

A lot more complex than the "cartridges" of the Odyssey1 console...

So you are only missing ES2212  If you want to play this game you don't the ES2212 cart: you can make it from a spare ES2211 cart.  The PCB is the same, and most of the electronic components too.

The race game consists of two curved vertical lines (the street) and your "car". The curves are moving up or down, so with your controller you have to move your car to the left and right to follow the curves, because the game ends when your car touches a line. It took a while to figure this one out but indeed you start the road moving with the button and then you need to keep clear of the lines. It looks very simple but it is not. I assume the picture is more 'stable' on a real CRT set instead of the LCD we tried it on. The picture was quite a bit jumpy but it was also with the Federball cartridge, the ball there had a mind of his own, especially when you touched the button while the ball was moving  The speed of the curves can be changed, and also the distance between the two lines.
Hmm, I could alter the width of the road (at least the right hand side moves when you turn the dial) but how is the speed changed ? It already seemed quite fast but that could also be because of the LCD.

Ah, that would make sense as it is the only other input device left

I don't know the exact definition of "console". You can play different games by inserting cartridges, so therefore I think you could call it a console. But since it doesn't have a microcontroller or a videochip, the possibilities are limited. You can only have a maximum of three objects on the screen, but the size and shape of these objects can be changed within pretty wide limits.
