Color TV-Game Repair

The Color TV-Game series is a line of dedicated first-generation home video game consoles produced by Nintendo in collaboration with Mitsubishi Electronics, released exclusively in Japan starting in June 1977. Serving as Nintendo's entry into the video game hardware market, the series spanned five distinct models released between 1977 and 1980.

Each system in the lineup came pre-programmed with built-in games (including Pong variations, racing, and Breakout style titles) and hardwired control knobs or steering wheels. The series achieved major commercial success, selling over 3 million units combined and establishing Nintendo as a major player in the electronic entertainment industry.
