Description

Released in 1977, Telstar Alpha (model no. 6030) was a big hit for Coleco. Since it was quite cheap, it sold a lot of units and was the first console of the new restyling along with Ranger. It was smaller, featured 4 games (the three classic plus Jai Alai, sort of Squash), had a modern case and three difficulty levels. The paddles were built-in. This was also the first member of Telstar family to cross the Atlantic and landed in Europe under the name of Telstar Alpha Europa.
