The Telescore 750 (also known as Telescore SEB 750) is a dedicated first-generation[1] home video game console manufactured and released by Groupe SEB in 1977, only in France [2][3][4][5] for 100 Franc.[6] Two revisions were released afterwards; the Telescore 751 in 1978,[7] identical to the Telescore 750 but with two detachable game controllers and support for a lightgun sold separately,[6] and the Telescore 752 in 1979,[8] which was almost identical to the Telescore 751 but could also display games in color and had the lightgun included.[2][3][6]

The system is powered by a power adapter with 6 V or 4 x 1.5 volt LR14 batteries.[7]

Games

Due to the TMS-1965-NC chipset from Texas Instruments,[2][3] the Telescore 750 is able to play the following four games:

  • tennis (Pong clone)
  • football
  • squash
  • pelote basque

With the Telescore 751 and Telescore 752, it is also possible to play the following two extra games which need the lightgun:

  • tir d'entraînement
  • tir aux pigeons
