Telesys was a company that made games for the 2600, and I have long heard that when the crash was occuring, they just closed up shop and that was it. There has to be more of an interesting story here -- we've heard it for many of the other manufacturers at the time -- but for the life of me, I can't find ANYTHING that happened to the company. No information about them getting bought out by someone, no information about them closing the garage doors down because they were working out of someone's house. No word about _anything_.

Does anyone know more of the story? I'd love to get in contact with some of the people that worked on some of the games, as I am really interested in some of their unreleased stuff. Has anything surfaced, or is there anyone who would even know if such things exist?

If you can't say out here, please PM me about it. I'm really, really interested and I would happily give someone who could put me into contact with some people some sort of nice reward :)

I'm looking at the Psychopedia entry for Telesys but there's not really company info (just info about the games). You might want to try Leonard Herman.

Coconuts
Cosmic Creeps
Demolition Herby
