Die Börse rückt näher und wir haben uns mal ein bisschen ums Rahmenprogramm gekümmert. Eine erste Sache können wir bereits ankündigen: Wie schon beim letzten Mal wird es auch in diesem Jahr auf der Retrobörse einen kleinen Konsolenbereich geben. Wir beschäftigen uns dieses mal mit dem Thema Virtual Reality und 3-D: Zum sehen (und zocken) gibt es dort ein Sega Master System mit 3-D-Brille und allen veröffentlichten Spielen und ein japanisches Famicom (NES) mit dem nur in Japan veröffentlichten 3D System und allen auf Modul erschienenen Spielen. Zudem wird ein Virtual Boy mit einer Auswahl an schönen Spielen bereit stehen. Wem das alles noch zu gewöhnlich ist, der kann sich auf den 3D-Imager für den Vectrex freuen. Highlight des Bereichs ist aber sicher der nie produzierte und weltweit nur zweimal als Prototyp vorhandene Virtual Reality Helm für den Jaguar von Atari – spiel- und bestaunbar! Wir haben noch einige andere Sachen in der Mache. Soweit das Spruchreif ist könnt ihr es hier oder unter www.gamereset.de nachlesen. Jens

I'll scan the manual as soon as I have some more time and I'll make pics of the systems and the modifications soon. I'll do that later too. Today I wrote more posts to a forum on a single day than ever before... Jens

I think it was the other way round. ITT released the Telematch and relabled it for the Austrian market. I think it's the way companies behave when they take over other companies. If you have a strong brand, you use it. If it's only strong in one market, you only use it there. By the way, I've checked the information again and it was 1966. (http://www.radio-ghe.com/fa.ingelen.htm) There are other examples from the Channel F history. The French company Thomson Brandt bought Nordmende in 1977, still the Teleplay was released as a Nordmende product in 1978. There was an Ingelen a couple of weeks ago on Ebay Austria and Adrian bought it. I hope we get better pictures soon. Right!

Back to topic From your want list I have the following stuff: ITT: 1 (CBI), 3 (CI), 6 (CI) and 11 (CB) Note: The box of 11 is missing the top flap. Nordmende: 8 (CB), 9 (CB), 11 ©, 14 © Saba: Instructions for 5, 10, 18 Note: A german seller on ebay is offering 12 (CBI), I could buy that one for youif you want. (Have a look at ebay item 120115503332, it's 7,99 Euro shipped to my place, so it's a little bit more than 10 Dollar.) Jens

The only Barco game I've seen so far has a Fairchild picture lable. It's Videocart 1. I bought a Barco on ebay a couple of days ago, but the three games (4, 13, 14) came without instructions. By the way the instructions of the system are also in English and include service addresses for Belgium, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

I did some research on the ITT/Ingelen story a while ago. My information is that ITT (or ITT Schaub-Lorenz to be exact) bought Ingelen in 1967 and than used the well known brand Ingelen for the marketing of own products in Austria. That would mean it was released after ITT bought Ingelen. You are right, it says Emerson Vidoplay System. In the same week when I bought this system, there was a second one on Ebay Italy. Adrian (from pong-picture-page.de) bought it. The most interesting thing about it is, that he got a Dumont system in an Emerson box. Little later there was another Emerson on Ebay Italy (loose, with a small buy it now). Unfortunatly all the Dumont and Emerson systems came without instructions.

My guess is that at least some of it was released. I have a Coleco game adapter, so it was released for sure. I've seen disks for the Spectravideo, so there must be a diskdrive. I think most of the joysticks have been released too. Tapes are not that difficult to get, but it's hard to find the cartridges. I bought most of my Spectravideo stuff on ebay. Some of the stuff is from collector meetings here in Europe and I even found a single tape on a flea market once. I've listed some tapes on ebay yesterday, but I'm not sure if there are any PAL/NTSC problems with the Spectravideo. Jens

First post here... 100 Dollar for the system and about 10 for each game. Numbers 16, 17, and 20 should be more expensive. 25 Dollar for 16 and 17 and 20 Dollar for 20. About 200 for the System. 15-20 for each game. System boxed 60-70 System loose 40 Games (1, 3, 4, 7) 10 Games (36) 25 Games (others) 15 50 for the lot. At least 100 for the lot. Hope that helps! Jens
