The Philips Tele-Spiel ES-2201 was a video game console released in the early 1980s. It was marketed as a "TV game" and was designed to be connected directly to a television set. The console featured a number of built-in games, including variations of classic arcade games such as Pac-Man and Space Invaders. The ES-2201 was notable for its use of interchangeable game cartridges, which allowed players to expand the library of games available on the console. Despite its initial popularity, the ES-2201 was ultimately unable to compete with more advanced consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, and production ceased by the mid-1980s.
All Philips Tele-Game consoles have the contraction "ES" which stands for "elektronisches Spiel" (German for "electronic game"). The systems are named differently depending on the country (Tele-Spiel in Germany, Tele-Game in Great Britain, Tele-Peli in Finland, and Tele-Spel in the Netherlands). In all countries, the name means tele game. The Philips Tele-Game consoles were some of the first European video game consoles ever to be released.
