1977 Sears Tele-Games (Atari 2600 clone) commercial

If anyone wonders, the sound effects in the background are the game "Star Ship".

Somehow that game is actually still fun, yet it was one of the first discontinued titles. @_@

I need to get an original Heavy Sixer Tele-Games: I really like the look of the woodgrain area on these, and I just overall prefer the heavy sixer build.

When I was young, B&W TV's were the standard CRT TV's of today... used as secondary TVs, by the poor, etc.

I love my HDTV and blu-ray now, and someone would have to shoot me dead before I'd part with my 42" Panasonic Viera 1080p Plasma or 40" Sony XBR4.

You ever seen a 1080p CRT TV set? I have one, and trust me, you wouldn't want to get rid of it. Graphics artists (and I'm talking real pro's) still proof their work on HD CRT's because of higher brightness, stronger color, and the fact that a CRT is still the only standard that can deliver a perfect circle.

In reality, the only thing an LCD or Plasma has over an HD CRT set is that it weighs a lot less and takes up less space... and the fact that you can't really buy HD CRT sets anymore.

Definitely was legit. All the Sears stores had them with similar names to the Atari release. Sears did this with a lot of other products too. I remember a football game by Coleco called Eletronic Quarterback which Sears sold as Electronic Touchdown.

Sears Telegames. The telegames Intellivision was very unique. The color was ugly, IMO, but the controllers were removable. NICE! The power switch was easier on the fingers too.

The instruction manuals in the cartridges for Telegames had different art along with the boxes and console equipment.

I have my grandparent's old Intellivision from Sears still. I kicked butt on Tron Deadly Discs on it.
