Those obscure games

[geogray]

Reading the '10 best' thread made me remember some really obscure consoles. The Apf Imagination Machine, the VideoBrain, RCA Studio 2, The Bally Astrocade (or whatever it was called) and such. Most of these machines lived from 1977 through 1984. It's no wonder the market crashed and burned. I recall one console that could play Colecovision, some Intellivision and Atari 2600 games. If I recall, there was a box that plugged into the console's cartridge slot for each system. I don't remember if there were carts specific to the console. It was fairly large, black with the requisite wood grain stickers on each side, had two fairly large controllers, and a really weird stick type controller...sort of like the controllers from the Fairchild Channel F (in fact, this console looked like a fat version of Channel F.) Anyone have any idea of what this might be? Even though it could play most of the 'big three' games of the day, it obviously was not popular. I don't recall a manufacturer but I think it could be purchased at Montgomery Ward, Sears and Woolco (remember them?) Or was am I dreaming this?

Ah yes...I remember Woolco!
