For years, Game&Watch collectors have been puzzling of what is known as the "cardiogram" logo. The logo is imprinted on a Fire of the Wide Screen series. It’s clear, that the game comes from Great Britain because it carries the CGL logo. So it was suspected that the company with the cardiogram logo should also come from England.

Plessey was a British, international electronics, defense and telecommunications company founded in 1917.
