Telstar Gemini

The Telstar Gemini did away with the ball&paddle chip from General Instruments. Instead it used the MPS 7600-004 chip, which features 4 pinball-like games and two color shooting games with digital scores on-screen. The controls are brand new and the console has three sliding knobs to adjust the ball speed in the pinball games. There was a "laser gun" provided for the shooting games.
