History of video games/Platforms/Gameroom Tele-Pong

History
Entex was founded in Compton, California in 1970 to produce toys. Entex launched the Gameroom Tele-Pong in 1976, becoming an early entrant into the game console market. Little more information is available for this console, though it's earliness and following Entex consoles make it noteworthy.

Technology
The Gameroom Tele-Pong likely used analog circuits, similar to the Magnavox Odyssey. The system uses eight integrated circuits, and 26 transistors. The console has a one player mode, which is known for its high difficulty.

The Gameroom Tele-Pong is powered by four C type batteries. Players may manually turn score dials on the console to track scores. This was common feature on consoles lacking major compute resources, as it removes the need for players to manually track score in their heads or on paper.
