The Telstar video game system produced by Coleco first went on sale in 1976. It was a video tennis clone similar to Pong. With an estimate of $50, budget minded clients loved it. Coleco sold over 1,000,000 units in 1976.Releasing the same year as the previous Telstar, the Telstar Classic section was essentially the same as the Telstar. It purely added a classic 1970's lumber grain container to it. This unit have 3 games (Tennis, Hockey, Handball) and 3 different difficulty levels.
In the Christmas term of 1977, nine new designs of the Telstar were released, each of the liability virtually the same thing. It was labeled "Video Sports" with four different games, all of them PONG clones. During it's life span, Coleco had produced about nine different variations of their engine and tossed about one million 'obsolete' machine.
