| The Panoramic Telematch, also known as Telematch J5, is an Argentine dedicated home video game console released by Panoramic S.A.I.C.P.F.I.A in Buenos Aires in 1976. It is a clone of the Magnavox Odyssey, built using discreet hardwired circuitry without a central CPU. Housed in a briefcase-style plastic case, the console was designed for portability, with built-in storage for its AC power unit and wired controllers. Unlike the Odyssey, it does not require overlays or cartridges; instead it features five built-in games accessed via push buttons: Submarine, Squash, Volleyball, Soccer (with adjustable goals), and Tennis. It operates on mains power via an internal AC adapter and includes line-position knobs specifically for positioning the soccer goals. The controllers are fixed within metal housings directly wired to the console. Despite lacking a traditional power switch, the unit includes a neon indicator light, and power is toggled by connecting or disconnecting the AC plug. |
