The Tele-Fever (stylized as tele-fever) is a second-generation home video game console which was released and marketed by German coffee roaster chain Tchibo in 1986 only in Germany for a list price of 99 Deutsche Mark (DM).[1][2][3][4] It is one of the last variants of the Arcadia 2001 home video game console by Emerson Radio and therefore compatible with all software from it.[1]

The Tele-Fever was only manufactured in very small quantities and is rarely offered today.[2][3] Only a few games were released for the system.[2] After a short time, the production was discontinued.[3]
