Did Sears Ever Consider Selling a Rebranded ColecoVision?

[ColecoFan1981]

Did Sears ever consider selling a ColecoVision clone console in 1982 called the "Tele-Games Pro Video Arcade," so as to capitalize on both the original ColecoVision's success and their two past cross-licensing deals with Atari (Video Arcade=2600) and Mattel (Super Video Arcade=Intellivision)? (It should be known that "Tele-Games" and "Telegames, Inc." are unrelated since the former was a Sears brand name like "Kenmore" is to their line of home appliances and "Craftsman" is to their line of hand tools and lawn/garden equipment.)

...and it was awful, I got one, the video was bad and the system stopped working after only a short use.

We're talking about the former Sears brand name used for their line of electronic games, honey... did Sears (and I do mean Sears, Roebuck and Co.) ever have such plans back in 1982-83 to sell a rebranded ColecoVision?

Like I said, did Sears, Roebuck & Co. ever consider selling a rebranded ColecoVision in 1982?

No, it was you addressing Frank as "honey", if you didn't notice what I had bolded in your quote.

I was telling him not to confuse Telegames, Inc. with the Tele-Games (Sears brand) if that is what you're after.

I've never heard of Sears trying to do that, sugar.
