Homemade games for Coleco Telstar Arcade

Totally different than odyssey 1.

Odyssey 1 uses a simple card with jumpers and all processing is already contained in the console so homebrews are easier to make for it than any other system.

The telstar arcade has a unique processor in every cart, so you would have to create a whole new processor that could also be read into the telstar.

Telstar was also obsolete tech when it came out and also why it failed.

The coleco telstar arcade is similar to the pc 50x series. Making homebrew is theoretically possible, it just isn't very practical. Basic early arcade games would be the most you could get out of using parts similar to originals, but in theory the "console" is just a box for input and output ports. You could probably wedge a wii in it with enough know how.

I would like to see the glitches in the existing games fixed at least. Also, it would be fun to see how far it could be pushed (could you make a basic breakout, duck hunt or death race, etc.?)
