Coleco managed to grab a gigantic portion of the early home video game market partially through good marketing (their first Telstar console was half the worth of Atari's Pong) and fairly through good luck (Coleco was the company that got their shipment of the common microchip that each worn to manufacture their home Pong systems in late 1976).The Telstar Alpha (sort 6030) was released in 1977. a classic video game from Coleco, and uses the AY-3-8500 game chip. The Telstar Alpha plays 4 games in 3 difficulty levels. It is the successor of the three recently models (Telstar, Telstar Classic and Telstar Ranger), and only differs by its case and fourth game (JAI-ALAI, or also known as SQUASH).
Like the 1st Telstar, this system was sold in large quantities and it was cheap. It was also released in Europe named the "Telstar Alpha Europa."
