Color TV-Game (Japanese: カラー テレビゲーム Hepburn: Karā Terebi-Gēmu?) is a series of five home dedicated consoles, created by Nintendo and released in Japan only. Nintendo sold three million units of the first four models: one million units of each of the first two models, Color TV-Game 6 and 15; and half a million units of each of the next two models, Block Breaker and Racing 112. The Color TV-Game series has the highest sales figures of the first generation of video game consoles. The systems could run off of C batteries and all models came with an AC adapter.
The series debuted on June 1, 1977 with the Color TV-Game 6 (カラー テレビゲーム6 Karā Terebi-Gēmu Roku?). The Color TV-Game 6 was jointly developed with Mitsubishi Electronics. It contains six variations of Light Tennis (or Pong) including Tennis, Hockey and Volleyball; each one could be played in singles or doubles mode. The players control their paddles with dials attached directly to the machine. Additionally, as an alternative to the standard version, a white-colored C battery powered model of the Color TV-Game 6 was introduced. These white colored consoles had a limited run of only a few hundred units.
