video problems with several pong consoles

[video problems with several pong consoles]

Another Sears Tele Games Hockey Tennis IIi with video issues. Looks like it's normal on digital tv.

 

[video problems with several pong consoles]

I hooked up a VCR and it helps with the Coleco Colortron and the Sears Telegmes Hockey Tennis II yet the magnavox odyssey 100 was refurbished by the seller and on the vcr through A//V cables the signal for it goes in and out while just hooked up to the TV the picture is shaky. Might try running the VCR through Coaxial connection tomorrow.

Could running them through a VCR help?

[video problems with several pong consoles]

I just got a Coleco Telstar Colortron today and it has the same problem two other pong consoles have. The picture is shaky. I can play the game. The Colortron doesn't have a knob near or on the RF box in the console to adjust the picture. I adjusted my Tele Games Hockey Tennis III and it shows the correct colors yet the picture is still shaky.

 

 

 

[some pong systems I got today.]

I tuned the RF on the Sears Telegamas Hockey Tennis III and got the correct colors to show. Still can't totally clean up the picture.

[2600 Carry case]

Looks like it's only for four switchers.

[some pong systems I got today.]

I have a Sears Telegames Hockey Tennis IIi which is a re branded APF pong and a Magnavox Odyssey 100. The picture on Hockey Tennis three is blurry and wobbly and the Magnavox Odyssey 100 picture is wobbly. Is it just my flatscreen not liking 1970s tech? My Telstar Arcade and Radio Shack TV Scoreboards work fine on it.

Finally got cartridge 4 today. Anyone have any spare paddles for the Telstar Arcade? It has the cables for the added paddles but no paddles.

[Hit and Missile with no collision detection]

I have a Hit and Missile and the collision detection doesn't work. How do I you fix it?

[Coleco Telestar Aracde I found at Goodwill]

Are there roms in the cartridges or do they just modify the system.

[Speedway console info wanted]

No.

 

As to why the titles of some Sears consoles and cartridges were suffixed like numerals, there doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency. They generally denoted the number of players. For instance, the "IV" dedicated consoles supported four players, and that could explain "Breakaway IV" on the Video Arcade system. But it doesn't explain "Speedway II,"which also supports four players, or the "Hockey-Tennis III" system, which only supports two (incidentally, there was no "Hockey-Tennis I" but there was "Hockey-Pong").

Now I want a Sears Speedway or Speedway IV. Where there other pong consoles that also played those racing games?

[Speedway console info wanted]

Wasn't there a speedway iii ? Sears Telegames version of street racer is called speedway ii?

 

Here is a list of all the Sears Telegames pong consoles made.

[sears telegames non atari pong systems.]

 

Saw this on Ebay. What other non atari systems did Sears sell under the Telegames brand? Wasn't aware they sold non atari pong units.

[lloyds pong console question]

 

 

 

I noticed the Lloyds pong 812 rebranded as Monteverdi pong 825. I know Lloyds was Westen Auto's in house electronic brand. Did they license the unit from Monteverdi or did Monteverdi license it from them? Does anyone have a color one and colors does it display? I was thinking about getting one.

[winarcadia won't run in windows 10]

Windows 10 says it can't access the specified file or path. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the items. I wanted to have an AY-3-8500 pong simulator or emulator. to play.

[Magnavox TV with bulit in pong]

Here is how it works. Looks like it uses the AY-3-8500 chip.

 

 

 

 

 

[Magnavox TV with bulit in pong]

Anyone ever see one of these?

 

Closest thing to it I can think of is the Sharp TV made in the late 1980s with the built in NES.

 

[Which of the first generation pong systems are the best one to own?]

I wonder how many ay-3-8500 , ay-3-8550 ,and ay-3-8610 games had color? I would like to find some of those color pongs.

[Coleco Telestar Aracde I found at Goodwill]

I have cartridges 2 and 3 coming from Ebay. How hard is it to find cartridge 4?

[Which of the first generation pong systems are the best one to own?]

Does anyone know which of the AY-3-8500 systems have the hidden game handicap?

[old 20/20 story on NES "Nuts for Nintendo" 1988]

At the 6:27 mark: "Is the shortage real or are they holding back supplies to increase the mystique?"

 

Hmmm… that sounds AWFULLY familiar…

That's what I was pointing out. They had artificial shortages before and even pulled them on the Japanese as well.

You think your having a hard time finding the NES Classic? Look at the trouble people went through trying to get Super Mario Bros 2 and Zelda 2 Adventure of Link. Looks like Nintendo has been using the same tricks for a long time.

[dead retroduo controllers how to fix?]

One of my retroduo controllers is completey dead and the a button on the other won't work and neither work in SNES games. One of my real SNES controllers won't work on NES either. Any Ideas?

[Sears tele-games super pong iv question]

Is Tele-games Super Pong iv the same system as Atari Super Pong Pro-Am Ten?
