Between the discontinuation of the original [[Odyssey:Odyssey_Mods_Wiki|Magnavox Odyssey]] in 1975 and 1978, Magnavox released a series of “dedicated consoles”, sometimes referred to as “pong clones”. These consoles usually had the option of being powered by batteries and did not use cartridges, relying instead on in-built games which were based around Pong’s “ball & paddle” gameplay system.
The Coleco Telstar brand is a series of dedicated first-generation home video game consoles produced, released and marketed by Coleco from 1976 to 1978. Starting with Coleco Telstar Pong clone based video game console on General Instrument's AY-3-8500 chip in 1976,[1] there were 14 consoles released in the Coleco Telstar series.
