===''*Coleco Telstar Arcade===: Only 4 cartridges were released for this triangular abomination, but the console's design means that they can't be dumped and "emulated." They're more like activation discs for data already in the console. No known emulators.''
→Pong Consoles
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the video game market experienced an explosion of products hoping to capitalize on the success of the Odyssey and Atari. From the nigh-infinite Pong clones, to the suspiciously similar consoles, consumers had far more options than they do today. This is a list of those first and second generation machines. Not all of them can be emulated. See also [[Strange Console emulators]], a similar page for 90s and 2000s.
==First Generation (Pong Consoles)==
It's Pong. You can play it [http://www.ponggame.org/ anywhere]. Emulating first generation systems like these can be tricky, as the games were heavily tied to their hardware, and most were just variations of Pong.
