The Tele-Sports was a series of video game consoles based on Pong, created by Radofin. The early models had built-in games, and the later models used cartridges.

The hardware was then licensed to and sold by other companies as well. Along with Radofin, Acetronic, Audio Sonic, Bodenfund, Coleco, DMS, K-Mart, 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.
