Marco Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Technovision simply rocks. Gameplay, artwork, carts, packaging, everything is cool. They announced a dozen or so more games, really too bad they didn't get to release any more of 'em. Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They announced a dozen or so more games, really too bad they didn't get to release any more of 'em. They were also planning on selling NTSC versions in North America. They had them on display at the 1982 Summer CES and then changed their marketing strategies shortly afterwards. I went to the V-Tech booth at the 1983 Winter CES and inquired about the games and no one there knew what I was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They announced a dozen or so more games, really too bad they didn't get to release any more of 'em. Where did Technovision (no info about that in the AA Company Guide) come from? AFAIK by now (almost?) all prototypes for the 2600 have been found in North America. Maybe there are more of them "waiting" in other countries?

There were screenshots of the games they actually released (Save Our Ship, etc) in the center. The back page listed titles of games that they said they were going to release.

Marco Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 The box says "copyright VTL Hong Kong" Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolenta Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 The box says "copyright VTL Hong Kong" Vtech is based in Hong Kong. I suppose VTL is VTech Limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Anybody from Hongkong around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 Don't know, but I think most games say somewhere Hong Kong or Taiwan on the lable or box. Atari and other companies too. Maybe not the NTSC Version, but the PAL versions have it most somewhere I think. And one from mine has a german Manual, and if you look at one from these boxes from Marco they have too german text. The Save Our Ship, I think I can read here Bediensungsanleitung auf Deutsch or somethink like that. So I think its a german company. But thats all I know or think.

Tempest Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I suppose VTL is VTech Limited. Yes that's correct. VTL also made the Creativision (also know as the Dick Smith Wizzard I believe). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 What exactly is a Creativision? It sounds familiar, but I can't seem to recall anything specific about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADrigal Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Holy crap! I've been into Atariage forum for years but never came to know about the connection between Technovision and Video Technology Ltd (aka VTech or VTL). I'm the webmaster of the main website devoted to CreatiVision, the gaming console manufactured by VTech in 1981-1984: http://www.madrigaldesign.it/creativemu/ I recently got sealed "shipper boxes" with CreatiVision games on cartridge. A few shipper boxes read "Technovision" printed on them, partially erased with a black marker. I have never seen any Technovision game box or instructions manual for real, so I *PLEASE* anyone who owns boxed games, or even loose games, or simply manuals, to contact me and share information with me. I am 99% sure that every Technovision game box has the same "codes" which are also printed on CreatiVision games boxes. A code 90-xxxx-yy is always printed on one of the internal flaps of the box. Same for manuals. A code 91-xxxx-yy is printed on the last page of manual. About the games: - Locomotive does exist for CreatiVision. Probably it was planned for release on the VCS, but never got completed. - Stone Age was originally announced as Barbarian. It was released for CreatiVision in late 1983/early 1984. - Pharaoh's Curse was also originally announced for release for CreatiVision in early 1984, but from my knowledge, it was never actually released. - Other announced games were: Othello (aka Reversi) and Boat Chase. Please contact me via PM or the CreatiVEmu website to share information! I will send you pics of my shipper boxes, or we can eventually trade them. PS: anyone has Technovision flyers or catalogues to scan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staberinde Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 As with most PAL stuff, you better have a look here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADrigal Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks for the info staberinde. I already visited Atarimania, found the information and played the games. But I still miss information and detailed pictures/scans of boxes and manuals, as well as the codes printed on pcb, game box, manual, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADrigal Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Just in case anyone is interested in Technovision stuff... I have recently put my hands on a few cartridge shipping boxes, each originally containing 4 cartridges. They are labeled "Technovision", and there's a marker line on the printing. They were made to store 4 Technovision games, but were then used to store CreatiVision games. In fact, Technovision and CreatiVision games boxes have the same size - they were both made by VTech.
