Elektronika microprocessor games (Электроника Игра Микропроцессорная, Elektronika Igra Mikroprotsessornaya) were devices released under the Elektronika brand name.

Types of games

Most systems consisted of a single game played on a simple liquid crystal display screen.

Many of the systems are unlicensed clones of the Nintendo Game & Watch video game consoles. These used the 4-bit KB1013VK1-2 microprocessor, which was a Soviet clone of the Sharp SM series of microprocessors used in the Game & Watch systems.

Several were computer chess systems developed by Svetlana.

Models

The vast majority of the Elektronika microprocessor games had model names that start with IM (ИМ – Игра Микропроцессорная, Igra Mikroprotsessornaya, "microprocessor game").

Some model names for Elektronika branded clones start with IE (ИЭ – Игра Электронная, Igra Elektronnaya, "electronic game)".

The Elektronika microprocessor games that had model names beginning with MG were manufactured by Angstrem and were designed for export with English packaging and inserts.
