This is one of the many generic TV games based on the AY-3-8500 chips. This model can take 6 AA 1.5v batteries or an external 9v (Negative tip) power supply.

The AY-3-8500 could support 6 games. This model only has 4 as two are rifle shooting games and there is no light gun with this model.

This was the first chip in the series produced by American company General Instrument and was introduced in 1976. (Source: Wikipedia and other Retro sites)
