Telstar Combat

The Telstar Combat is the first console to use the AY-3-8700 chip known as "Tank" chip since it was used to “emulate” the Kee Games Tank game. The Combat has 4 joysticks, two per player and it’s the strangest among all the Telstar consoles. Among the first generation consoles, this was the first console that was not a "Pong" clone, but a completely different set of games.

There are four playable games. Each player uses two joysticks for the game.
