[4] By August 1978, George Bassett had acquired a 75% holding in the capital of Adam Imports for £750,000 cash, plus 60p in the pound of profits before tax in excess of £500,000 for year to December 31, 1978.
[4] It chiefly imported electronic products from other manufacturers such as VTech, Epoch, Tomy & Entex,[2][1][6] selling them in the UK re-branded under the Grandstand name.
Particularly, this is found with the Pong-type game consoles[8] as the semiconductor technology rapidly progressed during the period that the Grandstand brand was active.
These consoles, belonging to the PC-50x Family, were still essentially Pong type affairs, but had a limited selection of cartridges available, each housing a different General Instruments processor chip AY-3-8xxx.
[21] This arrangement allowed for some variation in gameplay[18][22] including the implementation of simple racing games featuring Pong-era graphics.
[18][21] Later, the potentially more versatile[22] ROM Cartridge based Fairchild Channel F was licensed, rebadged and released under the Adman Grandstand label as the Video Entertainment Computer in the UK (pictured).
[24][25][6][26][27] Grandstand also produced LCD-based handheld electronic games such as Mini-Munchman,[28] Scramble,[29] Caveman[30] and Crazy Kong (also released as Monster Panic[31]).
