The '''Radofin Tele-Sports''' was a series of [[video game console]]s based on [[Pong]], created by [[Radofin]]. The early models had built-in games, and the later models used [[ROM cartridge|cartridge]]s.
 
The hardware was then licensed to and sold by other companies as well. Along with Radofin, [[Acetronic]], [[Audio Sonic]], [[Bodenfund]], [[Coleco]], [[Clayton Group Limited|DMS]], [[Kmart|K-Mart]], [[Dixons Carphone|Prinztronic]], [[SHG]], and [[Ultrasound]] sold variations of the various systems.
 
In all, consoles based on Radofin Tele-Sports hardware were released by nine different companies in Europe and the United States from 1976 to 1983.
 
==Design==
The early Tele-Sports and its compatible consoles utilize a [[Mostek]] [[MPS-7600-001]] chip. The Tele-Sports IV had a [[General Instruments]] [[AY-3-8500]] chipset.
