MBO Schmidt & Niederleitner GmbH & Co. KG, a german manufacturer for measuring systems and small electronic items, also tried to get their share of the videogame market. The teleball console is the first of a large serie of systems named "tele-ball" with numbers ranging from 1 to 9. Though they had some cosmetic differences, all these systems were very close to each other in terms of functionality. The Tele-Ball is the most basic system of the whole range, offering only the 4 classic pong games in black & white.The teleball is licensed by Magnavox.
