The Videomaster Home T.V. Game plays three games: Tennis, Squash and Football.

The Videomaster Database was a "Clone" of the Radofin 1292 APVS but Videomaster designed the cartridges in such a way they would only work with their machine. They also published many of the games under different names, but also published three games exclusive to their machine.
