Never heard of teleplay, though I knew of some modem addons for Genesis/SNES. That's interesting.

I hadn't heard of teleplay either, but I did know of a modem for the Famicom. it was intended mainly for banking and stuff, since the Famicom was a computer in Japan.

The modem in Japan for the Famicom was also greatly used for horse race biddings. :D And banking stuff of cousre, as Luke already stated.
I didn't know that it also came out outside of Japan. (But definitely not in Germany. :( )

the original nes had the funny connector on the bottom for a few different add ons that were never used (a networking like device to link it to other systems and a possible modem)

For more info on the Baton Teleplay and it's history, check out: http://www.lostlevels.org/200310/200310-baton.shtmlAs you can read in the article, the Baton Teleplay system was never released. I wonder if the prototypes are still out there though with the packed-in game(s). I have come across an ad for the Teleplay system in one of my magazines that differs from the ad shown at NESWorld. My ad also has a slightly different Teleplay system pictured in the ad, with a plug in the front. So if these pics were of actual units, then we can be sure that there are at least two prototypes out there ;) -Speedy
