    text: I have something similar, apparently released in Hong Kong in 1984 (I bought it on eBay last year)

    text: I can remember playing with this when I was in my early teens and had a great deal of fun with it. One strange thing I remember was that you were able to put the game $or halfway between hockey and another game and that would give one player the advantage of having 3 bats instead of the normal 2.

    text: I just wonder why they were still releasing new pong systems as late as 1983 (when the Colecovision, C64, and Vectrex were big). Could this be the beginning of retrogaming (comparable to all of the multigame Jakks sticks of today).

Tele-Action game by DMS. Has hockey, squash, tennis and practice. 2 handheld units connected together that connect to the TV with the use of RF unit.

It's really small and each controller includes parts of the system. It's one of the last pong to have been sold: 1983.
