The BSS 01 was produced starting around 1980 in the GDR by RFT. "BSS" does actually mean "BildSchirmSpiel", and can be translated as "Video Game". It sold for about 500 East-German Marks. This was about half of the average wage, thus more than many could afford. This resulted in the fact that this unit was mostly used by educative institutions (e.g. "Pionierhaus" - "House of Pioneers"). This model is black with black, yellow, and red buttons. According to included materials the console has been tested and still functions and can be played today.
