Viewmaster Interactive Vision...anyone care?

[FlashStash]

I picked this up on eBay for a couple of bucks with 3 tapes...it's quite an intersting piece of equipment! You can play short games, pick stories you'd like to see, and 'interact' with the characters onscreen. The box has a picture of Viewmaster's president on it..I get the feeling this was a big deal for them...anyone know it's story or have any questions about it I could answer?

Yep, I saw that list there! Looks like with my 3 of 7 tapes released, this might be my most complete system! :)

Does the book have any more info about the system than what's online? There's NOTHING about this system on the web! (Well, almost nothing!)

I also have one of these complete in box with 2 tapes in addition to the pack in. I haven't hooked it up but I do have to admit it is one of the most unique system/ controller designs I have ever seen. Goofy little piece of equipment to say the least.

I ran through the Muppets tape last night...

There's this one part where you are watching some Muppets perform, and you can change the 'channel' to watch a different show.
On the screen are some live-action Muppets performing, and when you change the 'channel' from a soap opera show to a space show, the border changes, but you're still seeing exactly the same live-action scene. However, the dialog completely changes! So now, in dialog only, the non-descript living room for the soap opera now becomes the bridge of a starship! Hard to explain, but they really tried som creative stuff here!
