ColorVision - released where?

[Nicola]

Hello!
I'd like to know where the ColorVision has been released by the various Bazin, Altic, Romtec and Bristol.

Was that a French exclusive?

Thanks!

I've got one I've been trying to trade/sell for awhile and I haven't been able to pin down where it was sold. Somwhere on the internet I saw an ad that was all in English but I've been told it was never sold in the US. Mine's a Romtec I think. I'm curious what info other people have as well.

I have an Altic Colorvision. The text on the control panel is French and yet the operating instructions printed on the label on the underside of the unit is completely English, and competently done. To top it off, the plastic on the bottom has molded "Made in Hong Kong". I've never quite figured out where this thing was distributed.

Well, in France for sure. But I've read somewhere that someone found one of these units in the UK too.

Never seen one in Italy.

Nothing more?

i think i've seen one in the Netherlands which wouldn't be unusual because a lot of the french stuff also got released over there

I don't think I've ever heard of this unit until someone pointed it out in this auction. It looks like a cross between the Adventurevision, Coleco Tabletop Arcade games, and the RZone! VERY cool-looking unit, and I'm surprised no one else in the 80s came up with a similar design for those weird filament displays (whatever they are called).

Is this rarer than the Adventurevision?

Not rarer IMO just as rare but not released in the US, making in all the more elusive to locate.

I'm almost certain they were available in Greece as well. I know I know, old thread...
