In 1977 created the Color TV Game.

They sold the Color TV Game 6. (Includes six variations of PONG.) And it sold over a million copies. This was their first home console. The controllers were knobs attached to the system.

In 1978 they created a better TV game. Color TV Game 15. (Includes 15 variations of PONG.) This also sold over a million copies. The controllers were knobs on cables coming from the system, which made better gameplay.

Later in 1978 they released color TV Racing 112. You used a steering wheel type controller to play. There were many modes of play. This system sold less than 5000 copies. It is very rare and almost impossible to find.

(Cheap for it.)

Next year came the Color TV Block Kusure. Another rare system. This is a version of the game Blockout/Blox. Never seen it on Ebay in my life.

Finally, the Computer TV Game. This is a port of the game Computer Othello. It is also very rare.

I have never seen one of these in real life but they look interesting.

Have you ever seen/played/own one?

I don't own one of those that you posted about, but I do own a Sears Telegames Sportscenter. It's the same thing, a bunch of pong variations.

I do not believe I have actually played "pong" on it's origional cartridge, but I do believe I have played it somewhere on the internet. The oldest system that I would have would be the NES, I do not have any games dated back to the 1970's.

Would these systems hook up to a television and work in North America?

I believe Japan is in the PAL category of televisions, but I'm not 100% on that.

(North America is NTSC format.)
