History of video games/Platforms/Gamate

History
Not to be confused with the earlier, but unrelated VTech 3D Gamate.

Released by Bit Corp in 1990, Bit Corp folded in 1992 but UMC would continue production until around 1993, with the Gamate's biggest market only being a modest presence in Italy.

The Gamate was a failure in the market and it is speculated that the Gamate sold worse then the Watara Supervision.

Technology
The Gamate uses a clone of the 8-bit MOS 6502 processor, either a UMC UA6588F or an NCR 81489.

The Gamate probably has 16 kilobytes of RAM.

The monochrome Gamate screen tends to ghost badly.

Notable games
About 70 games were released for the system.
