I have started listing a huge game collection of 500+ games...check my other listings..
Many one of a Kind items.
Before ColecoVision, there was the Telstar Arcade. Released in 1977, this wonderfully unusual console put a steering wheel and gearshift, a light gun, and paddle controls on three sides of one machine. Coleco released only four triangular cartridges for the system—and all four are included here.
The centerpiece is Cartridge #4, complete with its instructions. It plays Naval Battle, Speed Ball, and Blast Away. This is the rarest cartridge in the lineup and the one many Telstar Arcade collectors are still hunting. In my experience, Cartridge #4 alone can sell for $300–$500 by itself with instructions.
In nearly 50 years of dealing in vintage electronic games, this is the best Telstar Arcade set I have seen. The original box is gorgeous, and the internal cardboard packing is remarkably well preserved. Every silver metal center is present in the console’s knobs. Cartridge #2 includes its correct pair of rotary controllers, and both still have their silver centers—details that are so often missing.
The original ties remain on the power supply, light gun, and Cartridge #2 controller cords. That makes me wonder whether this system was ever used, though I cannot verify its history. I have no way to test it, so the console, accessories, and cartridges are sold as is. Please study all the photos for the exact contents and cosmetic condition.
A note on shipping: I will pack everything in a large, well-protected outer box, with the console outside its original retail box. The internal packing is too beautiful to risk damaging by forcing the console back inside. Once it arrives, you can decide whether to place it in the box for display.
Finding a Telstar Arcade is one thing. Finding all four cartridges, including #4 with instructions, together with a box, original packing, and these intact finishing details is quite another. This is a serious collector’s set....and one I am proud to am listing a massive collection of vintage electronic games, game consoles, and arcade memorabilia.I have fiddled with vintage games for more than 45 years. If you are a serious collector...or looking for the perfect nostalgic gift for someone who grew up in the 1970s, ’80s, or ’90s...you may have just hit the jackpot. Many of my items are extremely rare, unusual, and sometimes one-of-a-kind finds, so be sure to check my other listings and check back often, as I am constantly adding new treasures from the collection.
I believe in describing every item openly and accurately to the best of my ability..I do not intentionally hide flaws or problems. With the nature of these old games they will almost always have some little issue...buttons don\'t press perfect, screens faded, small scuffs or wear from play.... battery covers don\'t stay on perfect. All games are sold as is due to the nature of these games. If I see something obvious I will point it out.Please study all photos carefully, as the photos are 95% of the description and show exactly what you are buying. I am always happy to combine shipping whenever possible. Unless specifically stated in the listing, batteries are not included with electronic games. Yes I combine shipping on all US orders. I do not combine shipping on International orders. I will not label boxes as gift. International shipping can take extra time. I only use Global shipping. The price you see for shipping is what is collecting...not me. International orders are responsible for duties and taxes. does not have a process in place for this. All items are insured. Shipping price includes packaging and time for labor, etc. Thanks for looking, and enjoy the hunt—you never know what rare piece I’ll list next!
Don’t let this chance pass you by. Own it.
NOTE...You may see a number and a letter in the Title like \"A1\" this is a label for me telling me the location of the game in my house so I can find it quickly amongst all of the games listed. Thank you
