--- Quote from: argyle on May 05, 2014, 06:38:36 am ---I played 2 or 3 Pong machines as a kid, I know my parents owned one & I think some other relatives did as well. But I had never even heard of this thing before I saw it on an episode of AVGN. BTW, is this the first cartridge-based console? --- End quote --- no, Fairchild Channel F is the first that had the games programmed into the carts. I believe the Telstar Arcade carts are similar to odyssey 1 where the games are programed into the system and the carts tell the system which game to play. --- Quote from: turf on May 05, 2014, 08:48:59 am ---I like what you're doing. It doesn't go unappreciated. --- End quote --- Thanks ;D |

I've always wanted one of these. To me it seems like the Roll-Royce of Pong-Consoles complete with the shiny, triangle carts. It has a light-gun even! |
