Tele-Fever
The Tele-Fever (stylized as tele-fever) is a second-generation home video game console which was released and marketed by German coffee roaster chain Tchibo in 1986 only in Germany for a list price of 99 Deutsche Mark (DM). It is one of the last variants of the Arcadia 2001 home video game console by Emerson Radio and therefore compatible with all software from it. The Tele-Fever was only manufactured in very small quantities and is rarely offered today. Only a few games were released for the system. After a short time, the production was discontinued . Reception. The Tele-Fever was a weak console compared to other available consoles around its release time, but very cheap which made it attractive. Some people think the design of the Tele-Fever is quite appealing. The Tele-Fever is seen as an example for a console that contributed to the 1983 video game crash. Legacy. In 2019, Tchibo released another console, the "Retro-Mini-Spielekonsole", which is a 8-bit dedicated handheld game console that contains 153 pre-installed retro games and costs €14.99. It is basically a clone of Thumbs Up's "Retro Arcade Games", Monsterzeug's  Retro Arcade, Radbag's "Retro Mini-Spielekonsole", ORB's "spielesammlung Retro Pocket junior", and Karsten International's "Arcade Game Portable Console", which was also released under the name "Retro Pocket Spiele"/"Retro Pocket Games" in Germany in a cooperation with Woolworth.
