Telstar:Coleco Telstar Series Mods Wiki

Between the discontinuation of the original 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.
