RCA Studio II
Home video game consoles by RCA
The RCA Studio II is a home video game console made by RCA that debuted in January 1977. The graphics of Studio II games were black and white[2] and resembled those of earlier Pong consoles and their clones. The Studio II also did not have joysticks or similar game controllers but instead used two ten-button keypads that were built into the console itself.[3] The console was capable of making simple beep sounds with slight variations in tone and length. The Studio II included five built-in games.[4]

The Studio II was not a successful product; the previously released Fairchild Channel F made it obsolete at launch and the Atari 2600, superior to both, was released ten months later. After poor Christmas sales in 1977, RCA discontinued the Studio II.
