|Hybrid clone of both the [[SG-1000 emulators|SG-1000]] and [[ColecoVision emulators|ColecoVision]]. Sold by Telegames as the Telegames Personal Arcade, allegedly with permission from Coleco themselves. The console's build quality leaves a lot to be desired, not to mention that games for the aforementioned platforms can be played on most [[ColecoVision emulators]] anyway. | |Hybrid clone of both the [[SG-1000 emulators|SG-1000]] and [[ColecoVision emulators|ColecoVision]].

Only three games were released for the system; it's unknown when Sega discontinued it. |

|A rare Europe-only console, first released in early 1983. Philips designed the Videopac+ to be a backwards-compatible successor to the [[Magnavox Odyssey² emulators|Videopac/Odyssey²]], and was even planning to release an American version called the "Odyssey³", but they reconsidered after a poor showing at that year's CES. Then the 1983 crash happened, and Philips quickly axed the whole thing. Limited support in some Odyssey² emulators. | |A rare Europe-only console, first released in early 1983.
