History of video games/Platforms/Entex Select-A-Game

History
The Entex Select-A-Game was released in 1981 for $54.99. Unlike most portable consoles of the time, it was designed to be used with two players, but could also be used by a single person.

The use of games that were clear clones of other games on the console caused significant legal issues for Entex.

Technology
Like many systems of the time, the CPU is located in game cartridges.

The Entex Select-A-Game uses a Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) with a resolution of 7 by 16 oval elements that could display red and white.

The system used 4 C batteries.
