[AtariBuff]

just outta my head:

Atari 7800
Vectrex
Coleco

[hydr0x]

just outta my head:

Atari 7800
Vectrex
Coleco

ok, forgot the Vectrex, damn, but the others? i don't think they got released over here, but what do i know?!? anyone else?

[Mayhem]

Well the complete PAL 7800 set I have is a big giveaway ;)

The Vectrex was not released in Europe until MB took over, so probably best to remove "GCE" from the name.

Missing C64GS (games system) console also. I think there could be other stuff like Acetronic and Radofin to include.

I thought the PC Engine was not officially released in Europe? There are PAL versions out there because I believe Hong Kong got them.

[hydr0x]

yeah, i wasn't sure about including the PC-Engine, to my knowledge it WAS released in Europe in miniscule numbers and only one game was released, but hey ;)

[Gynoug]

think you forgot the sega multi mega

[KJN]

Fairchild Channel F under various names (Luxor Video Entertainment for example)

For handhelds you also have the Vatara Supervision

[AtariBuff]

also its the Videopac G7000

the coleco and the 7800 were released for sure.

also the Atari XE GS is missing (shipped with a light-gun) and don't forget the Atari 2600 JUNIOR and the CreatiVision and the Interton VC4000.

[anagrama]

I believe the UK got a Grandstand Channel F.

There's legit PAL Turbo Grafx systems which were originally sold in Spain, but I think all PC Engines were grey imports.

If you're counting the CDI as a console, then the Commodore CDTV should also be in there.

Yeah, as AtariBuff said, there's definitely PAL 7800s (pretty common really) and we got the CBS version of the Colecovision.

The Pico was released in the UK, France & Germany.

Wasn't there a second Euro version of the 3DO too? Sanyo, maybe?

And there's all those horrible Hanimex/Radofin-type things too..

[MattyXB]

NEC PC-Engine O_O
I was sure, that there is no PAL version out there. But maybe I wrong. I have buy a Japanese version, because no PAL version exist at last in germany I think.

So I learn every day something new.

[KJN]

Just remembered another portable, the Gamate.

Does the Cybiko count?

[davidleeroth]

[Cauterize]

Cybiko isnt a rumour... i nearly bought a boxed one at the weekend for £2

Basically IIRC its a small PDA sorta handheld.....

http://itc.ua/img/dpk/2002/4/!cybiko.jpg

Cartridges can be plugged into the bottom...

Just google it, loads comes up!

[anagrama]

rumor:

Sega Multi Mega


No rumour there ;)

http://i6.ebayimg.com/04/i/04/83/b7/86_1_b.JPG

[anagrama]

One more - Yeno distributed a version of the Super Cassette Vision in France:

http://darkwatcher.psxfanatics.com/console/sepoch.jpg

[hydr0x]

ok, updated

i also added information about the US names and which systems were not released over there, please check that :)

i also know there's a rather new (like 1 year old) system similar to the Sega Pico, anyone remember it's name???

[AtariBuff]

you may have overlooked

Atari XE GS (shipped with a light-gun)
Atari 2600 JUNIOR
CreatiVision

[anagrama]

The MultiMega isn't a handheld, it's a combined Mega Drive/Mega CD (called the CDX in teh US).

And if you're adding variations, there's also the Lynx I & II, two Saturn models, also a version of TecToy's Master System III that was released in Portugal. Oh, and there's those Videopac variants like the Jopac aswell.

[McBacon]

Game.com was released here, wasn't it? I could of sworn I saw one in a department store when I was little.

[yok-dfa]

You are also missing the Videopac G7200 and all the variants of the 7000 and 7400 (Jopacs, C52, etc. etc)

[hydr0x]

well, do you have a list of those variations? ;)

G7200 ?? never heard of that one, what is it's US counterpart??

[robotriot]

i also know there's a rather new (like 1 year old) system similar to the Sega Pico, anyone remember it's name???

The Vtech V.Smile?

[anagrama]

well, do you have a list of those variations?

Try checking the database [Odyssey2 - Non-Cartridge Items] ;)
No US version of the G7200.

Oh, and the Portugese SMS III looks the same as TecToy's Brazilian units (basically an SMS II with Sonic stencilled on 'em), but I don't think it credits TecToy.

[KJN]

Don't forget Gameboy Pocket.

[slapdash]

No US version of the G7200.

Technically, it's just a G7000 with a built-in screen, so I'm not sure it should be counted separately.


Cybiko [...]

Cartridges can be plugged into the bottom...

Cybiko takes cartridges?!? Man, I passed it by because as far as I knew it didn't... I'm bummed now!

[Speedy_NES]

You're missing the Yeno Prof. Weiss-Alles released in Germany, which is the German counterpart of the US VTech Socrates.

If I come across any others that are missing, I'll let you know.

-Speedy

[Damon Plus]

So, the PC-ENgine was only released on Spain? I´ve always wondered why everyone said it wasn´t released on Europe when I saw it on stores here.

Btw, it was released with the same name as the American one (Turbografx-16) in 1992, and there´s more than one game released. By 1994 it was already dead, because they released most of the games through 1992 and the first half of 1993. By the end of 1995, they had a special deal in some stores that included the system and you could choose 8 games.

This is the list (extracted from a magazine):
-Alien Crush
-Bloody Wolf
-Bomberman
-Bonk´s Adventure
-Bonk´s Revenge
-Boxy Boy
-Bravo Man
-Chew Man Fu
-China Warrior
-Cratermaze
-Cyber Core
-Davis Cup Tennis
-Deep Blue
-Devil´s Crush
-Double Dungeons
-Dragon´s Curse
-Dragon Spirit
-Drop Off
-Dungeon Explorer
-Fantasy Zone
-Final Lap Twin
-Final Match Tennis
-Final Soldier
-Galaga 90
-Gradius
-JJ and Jeff
-Impossamole
-King of Casino
-Legendary Axe 1 and 2
-Military Madness
-Moto Roader
-Neutopia
-New Zealand Story
-Ninja Spirit
-Operation Wolf
-Ordyne
-Pac Land
-Power Golf
-Psychosis
-R-Type
-Space Harrier
-Super Volleyball
-Tiger Road
-Time Ball
-Veigues Tactical Gladiator
-Victory Run
-Vigilante
-World Class Baseball
-World Court Tennis

So, there´s about 50 games released for this system in Spain.

[anagrama]

But are those just US copies that were imported & sold there? AFAIK, Blazing Lazers (the Spanish pack-in) exists with a 4-language manual, but I've not heard of any others. If that many games were released, then surely it would have been known about before now?

If you want, I can provide you with a scan from the magazine. I remember they were reviewing games for quite a long time, almost two years. I don´t think they were American copies, but I´m not sure. Is there a way I can know it?

I´ve read something interesting in a special article on the magazine. It says that Compudid bought the rights to distribute the system on Europe, and that the Core Grafx model was released in France in 1991.

[anagrama]

I'm not doubting that they were reviewed and probably sold there (after all, no-one would go to the effort of releasing a system and then only have one game available), it's just whether there's any actual difference between US copies and these ones - I'd guess that there isn't.

I've heard of a French Core Grafx before aswell, but haven't actually seen anything to confirm it. There was a really long & detailed thread about it somewhere...

I know that you didn´t doubt, I wanted to show the scan to see if you could find some differences. I´ve seen some complete copies on Ebay Usa, and it doesn´t seem to be any differences between them.

[hydr0x]

updated :)

@robotriot

yeah, that's the one i was searching for, thx :)

[Vroomfunkel]

If we are listing different iterations of the same console (i.e. Saturn, Saturn "2") then surely you should also have:

PSOne, PSTwo, Silver PS2, Silver PSTwo.

There is at least as much difference between all of those as there is between the Saturn and the Saturn "2" ...

But particularly the slimline models ... and the Silver model is significantly lighter and quieter, so it is fairly substantially different too.

Vroomfunkel

huh? i thought the silver ones are just color variations, they don't look any different to me

[sharp]

Also missed is the European version of the (Bandai/Apple) Pippin which was released in limited numbers by Katz media. I saw them in the guide and a few time on ebay, so that system does also exists. As Mac freak I would love one, but it's impossible to find games for the system.

Another one for the main list - the Goldstar 3DO: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=72497&item=8208015888

[japancollector]

the msx

lot of good games for the system .They even did sell japan import games 0_o;;.In normale stores like dixsons.I think this is very strange.You can buy games like cryzorg and snatchers and sd snatcher, king kong 2.Between the pal msx games

I think how do those japanese import games ended up in normale gameshops?.And because it was between the year 1983 - 1990 it wasnt very commen to get import from japan.They included a transulation of the manual

many games werent sell at the end.Maybe they are under the dust i a warehous.
