1977 - RCA Studio II
The RCA Studio II debuted in January 1977. The graphics of Studio II games were black and white and resembled those of earlier Pong consoles and their clones. The Studio II did not have joysticks or similar game controllers but instead used two keypads that were built into the console itself. The console was capable of making simple beep sounds with slight variations in length.

The Studio II had five built-in games, and used a switchbox that relayed both the modulated RF signal of the console's video to the television set while powering the console with DC power. This type of hookup would not be seen again (or thereafter) until the Atari 5200 used a similar video signal and power connection method.

The Studio II was not a successful product; it was already obsolete by the time it hit the market when compared to the previously released Fairchild Channel F, and had its "final nail in the coffin" when the superior (to both) Atari 2600 console was released only 9 months later. It was soon discontinued.

The built-in games were Addition, Bowling, Doodle, Freeway, and Patterns.

The cartridge releases were Baseball, Bingo (rare- possibly only a prototype), Biorhythm, Blackjack, Fun with Numbers, Gunfighter/Moonship Battle, Spacewar, Speedway/Tag, Tennis/Squash, TV Schoolhouse I, TV Schoolhouse II.
