TABLE OF CONTENTS ------------------- 1.0) Introduction 2.0) All Consoles Released by Alphabeticaly Order 3.0) Unclassified Systems 4.0) Prototypes & Never Released 5.0) Credits ======================================================================= 1.0) Introduction: ======================================================================= Hi there reader, thanks for reading the Video Game Console FAQ. I (Sly) begin to gather informations of video game consoles for more than 4 years now. This FAQ will be THE biggest one i have (and will) ever wrote in 3 years. Since this FAQ is loaded with info, i couldn't updated all by myself, so i proposed to Olivier Boisseau if he would be my co-author on this FAQ. And since he lives in France (me in Canada), he already posses a great deal of information about the Europeans Video Game Consoles. I wanted another co-author, someone who lives in Japan. Since i don't understand Japanese myself (just a few words), it would have been great to have this third co-author. Many games and consoles are not know to us fellow videogamers, well maybe in a near future someone could assist us with all video game consoles that have came out in Japan & Asia. Me and Olivier hope that you'll like this FAQ. Send your comments !! And send any info that is missing from this FAQ, Thanks !! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- How the FAQ works: ------------------ This is how the information is classified: Name Company Year Continent or Country ------------------------------------------------------------ R-Zone Headgear - Tiger Toys - 1995 - U.S.A & Europe After we describe the console (color, clone or not, features...) and if possible we put the specs of the consoles, the accessoires (if any) and a list of games (cart/tapes/cards/built-in...). Sometimes you will be refered to a console FAQ for more info, since some consoles FAQs already exist, we try to put a link for every game console so you can see what it's like. Any link will be added to the credit section too. So enough chit-chat, let's move on the good stuff! ======================================================================= 2.0) All Consoles Released by Alphabeticaly Order: ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * "??? 720" - ?? - 19?? - Europe? --------- Famicom Clone.

One set of controllers(black joystick handle) contains hard plastic keys pressing metal leave feathers down onto a contacted PCB. The other,similar looking controller set(silver handle) contains soft plastic keypads pressing down a plastic foil keypad. The 2 main processors(?) have 40pin cases made of white ceramic(!). Their brown,square label plates say "CT4291 7807" and "CT4281 7805". There is also a "7404" logics chip made of the same strange white ceramic on it. The games resemble to VCS2600 2KB and 4KB games and are nothing really great,but some games have unique features. The sound system has a single squarewave voice with pitch from 30Hz up to 3.9kHz(?),and it contains an analogue(!) noise generator based on the noise from a transistor with collector pin not connected.

One of the last Olivetti project made under Ing. De Benedetti propriety before the company was sold. Basically a PC (Windows 95 was the OS) in a CDTV-like (or CD-I) box, it was produced in two different versions: one based on the Inter 486 processor and one based on the Intel Pentium processor. It can be connected to a TV set (and a VCR and Hi-Fi stereo), can read Audio CDs, CD-Rom, Kodak Photo CDs and Video CDs, can send faxes, and is Internet-ready. Major problems: it was overpriced, badly distributed, not completely compatible (something common with a Wintel PC, with many software bugs, not at all expandable and Pentium versions were marketed too late.

Users select various answers via their touch pads, and then the score is racked up. Obviously giving the linear nature of cassette tapes, the replay value of the Omni is certainly limited to say the least. Games: * Jeopardy!

It uses a modular windows operating system, based on Windows 3.1. Players cost $700, with discs around $30-80. The Tandy VIS is one more 'black box' illustrating the convergence of computing and television. It offers users the opportunity to interact with all the media types, thereby claiming to be a multimedia machine for home entertainment. Aimed principally at the US home market, Tandy placed great emphasis on the VIS's interactive capability in their marketing strategy. Unfortunately the fish didn't bite. The Tandy VIS actually trades under the name of the Memorex MD 2500 Video Information System. Its technical features are: System: CPU: Intel 386 Dimensions: (Height) 9.4 x (Width) 37.8 x (Depth) 34.3 cm Weight: 5.44 kg Operating Temp: 10°F to 95°F Operating Humidity: 20% to 80% non-condensing Power Requirement: 120 VAC Power Consumption: 40 watts max Usable Discs: VIS or CD The VIS utilises a wireless hand controller for human-computer interaction. The hand controller provides full control over the VIS, whether or not the machine is playing an audio CD or a VIS CD. An additional feature of the VIS is its capability to save information on a 'Save-It-Cartridge', this can perform a number of functions. For example it can remember particular tracks of audio CDs so that the next time that CD is inserted only those tracks are selected, additionally it can be used by VIS CDs to store information, such as game position or performance etc. If you own a Super VHS video, the VIS offers S-VHS output, for direct connection. In addition the VIS offers separate audio output offering stereo sound capability. There are many titles available for the VIS, mostly educational in nature, though games are increasingly appearing for this platform. It has however never been a large success even in its own domestic market. US consumers never reacted to the VIS. This may be due to lack of general appreciation of what it could do, or simply saturation of the US market Whichever, the VIS has not merited ongoing development by Tandy.

The eighty-four channel color television was to have a ten inch diagonal screen and input/output jacks to allow hook ups with a video recorder and camera. The basic videogame component accepts only Ultravision's own line of cartridges. But the owner was to have the option of purchasing two add-on modules seperately, one that will allow him/her to play Colecovision games on the Ultravision, and the other for games of the Atari VCS persuasion. The unit was to come complete with two sixteen position joysticks with top-mounted fire buttons. The Ultravision computer contained 64K of memory, expandable to 128K. It uses Microsoft Basic with four other languages accessible. 512 characters are displayable and sixteen colors are possible. The typewriter-style keyboard contained sixty keys, eight programmable keys, and upper and lower case alphabet set.The optional disk drive requires either five and a quarter or eight inch floppy disks, both single side, double density. The unit was to be compatible with Applesoft and CP/M software. So the purchaser was to be walking into a ready-made library. In addition to its own videogames, Ultravision was to release its own line of computer software. By covering all the bases, Ultravision ultimately hoped that its system would be the most software-compatible, the most versatile unit available. Weighing in at under ten pounds, the machine ran on AC or DC current. A car lighter adapter cord was to be available so the obsessed user can program in a car or on a boat. Cartridges Announced for the Ultravision VAS: * Baseball Top * Karate II * B-52 Bomber * Quest for the Idol II * Condor Attack II * Space War * Dare Devil Driver * Spider Kong II * Emergency I * Swimming Contest * Football * Unexpected Dangers Links: http://www.atarihq.com/museum/nonatari/ultravis.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * World Book Tutorvision - - 19?? - U.S.A. ---------------------- PROTOTYPE: Intv educational clone, only one known exist.
