The Telejogo (Portuguese for telegame, with tele being short for televisão, portuguese for television) is a dedicated first-generation[1] home video game console that was released on August 2, 1977 by Philco and Ford in Brazil.[2][3] It is a Pong clone console[4] and the first video game console ever released in Brazil.[2] The original Telejogo performed well on the market for the time.[5] In 1979, a successor called Telejogo II was released.[3]
Games
[edit]With the integrated MM57100N chipset from National Semiconductor,[6] players can choose from the following three games:[7]
- 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.[5]
