Coleco Telstar Colortron

All Hardware

1978
Description

Telstar Colortron (model no. 6135) is the first model of 1978 and the only one to use an evolution of the GU chip, the AY-3-8510. It’s even the first Telstar to display color graphics using a single chip. It offered 4 games, with more polished visuals and a less odd sound. Some improvements were made for example in the selection of games (push button instead of a switch). The Colortron doesn’t need an AC adapter since it used two 9V batteries.
