Telesys was an Atari 2600 game developer and publisher that released six games, all in 1982, before going out of business. Their slogan was "Fun in games."[2] Fast Food was one of their more well-known titles.
The only catalog from Telesys, dated 1983, indicated that the intent was to become a "full-line software company," releasing games, educational, and productivity software for home computers.[1] Telesys folded during the video game crash of 1983 before this happened. Its Atari 2600 games ended up in bargain bins in stores such as Kay Bee Toys.[3]
