FACT! #38



Coleco's Telstar was released in 1976 for the low, low price of $50 was yet another clone of Atari's massively successful PONG game. The original system really didn't stand out but stuck around for a few years as it was released after Atari made a home version of PONG available and the same year that they were to release their VCS/2600 system.

Nowadays the Coleco Telstar doesn't fetch too much on the market, selling in the range of $10 to $50. Definitely a change from a company that originally produced leather.
