The score is built in the console. It does have sound. The Gameroom Tele-Pong is similar to the first Japanese video game console, Epoch's TV Tennis Electrotennis, released a year prior. The console does not contain a central CPU but uses 8 discrete SN74LS00 chips. It is only battery-operated (1.5V "C" cell x 4). There was also a version released in the United Kingdom marketed by Binatone called the TV Game Unit. It had a price of £23.95.
