Sektor Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) I bought this at a garage sale in Australia about a decade ago. I've never seen a Supervision console before but maybe they are more common in Europe. Anyone know more about it? Unlicensed clone? I saw some Supervision branded games on eBay and the forums. It works fine. Unfortunately no built in games. Instead of sliding switches, it has pressable buttons. Just a shame it's all scratched up and the panel is peeling off. Feel free to add to the clones page: http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/consoles.html Edited May 6, 2012 by Sektor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Wow - Cool console. I've got a bunch of SuperVision cartridges, but i've never seen a SuperVision console!! These types of Jnr Clones are common amongst the pirate companies, and generally the only diference between them is the panel on the front that is customised with their logo. Does it have built in games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sektor Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 No built in games. The power connector is on the left instead of the middle, it has pressable buttons instead of sliding buttons/switches and the panel is different. I'll open it up and take some more pictures.

Sektor Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Nude 1.9MB: http://i.imgur.com/l0dDV.jpg It says DY-260 PAL on the board. I still don't know where it was made. Edited May 6, 2012 by Sektor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Taiwan I'd say, but I have no clue as to the technical side of these things... it is a colourful board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Very nice find! What I find curious is that even though it's a PAL console for sale in Australia -- which uses British English -- that that panel has the American spelling of color.

Sektor Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) All PAL genuine 2600s that I've seen use the US spelling of color, it's not just a clone thing. I guess Atari just didn't want to print different panels and the cloners just copied Atari. In programming languages (well in BASIC), the US spelling is always used.

I think the BBC BASIC uses COLOUR as a command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31336haxx0r Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Which makes sense as it's a genuine British development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unfortunately the Asian market adopted that as well, as seen with the Game Boy color, Neo Geo pocket color.etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 WOW!! A Supervision console. Never thought I'd ever see one of those surface!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
