Coleco Telstar Ranger


The Telstar Ranger (model 6046) was released in 1977. It is a 6-game version of the first Telstar. It plays the 6 games of the AY-3-8500 chip and came with a box of accessories: a pistol for the two shooting games, a switch-box for connecting to the television set, and two wires allowing to detach the controllers from the unit. As a matter of fact, Coleco used a smart design allowing to either plug the controllers on the unit or have then handy using the wires. The picture below shows one controller connected by wire and the other directly mounted on the system.
