It is a Pong clone console and the first video game console ever released in Brazil. The original Telejogo performed well on the market for the time. In 1979, a successor called Telejogo II was released.
Games
With the integrated MM57100N chipset from National Semiconductor, players can choose from the following three games:
- pingue pongue
- futebol
- paredão
The system produced black and white graphics because the output was in NTSC and the standard in Brazil was exclusively PAL-M in the 70s and 80s. If connected to an NTSC TV it will be in color.
