Luc Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks for the scans!Any info you can find on Home Vision is more than welcome, Luc. BTW: Where is the ad? 884394[/snapback] I just finished browsing the mags, but couldn't find any more info. What do you mean "where is the ad?" Doesn't the link work?

deathtrappomegranate Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 What do you mean "where is the ad?" Doesn't the link work? 884397[/snapback] I suspect that he means "...in which publication did you find it?" Actually, a portion of that ad was posted at Atarimania a few days ago. Those are some very interesting pictures - many thanks for sharing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Does this come from Tilt? You know, VDI was certainly registered somewhere... A local Chamber of Commerce or similar organization would probably be able to tell you how you can track down the owners of that company or at least find more details... -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) Anyway, here's the article: http://users.tijd.com/~tdn18471/hv1.jpg http://users.tijd.com/~tdn18471/hv2.jpg And also an ad for everything that was (to be) released by Homevision: I'll see if I can find more Home Vision references in the magazines. 884376[/snapback] I mean where's the link to the ad? I only see the two links to the article. The link to the ad is broken. Edited July 2, 2005 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Sandy, Do you still own that (pirate) Home Vision game, called: War Stars? Which game is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san-d-2000 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Yup I do, good memory you have I believe its the same game as Laser base by ITT. -Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 (edited) I believe its the same game as Laser base by ITT. Laser Base? That's interesting. If War Stars really is the same game as Laser Base, it can never be an original Home Vision title, because World End (Home Vision - VCS83109) is the same game as Laser Base for sure. I always hoped that (although only known in a pirated black casing) War Stars was originally a Home Vision title and maybe one day a real Home Vision War Stars (with a white Home Vision casing and a real VCS831XX Home Vision number on the label and box) would surface (just like Frisco, Ski Hunt, Sky Alien and Racing Car, although these black casing pirates look slightly different from War Stars). If War Stars is indeed the same game as Laser Base, I guess this will never happen. Thanks for the reply, Sandy. If it's possible for you to verify your info and it turns out to be another game, please let me know.

san-d-2000 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hmmm in that case i will double check it might be an shooter, but for sure its an ITT title. -Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 Yep, that's World End (AKA Laser Base). Thanks for the picture, Sandy! If anybody knows which game is War 2000 and which game is Go Go Home Monster, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 If anybody knows which game is War 2000 and which game is Go Go Home Monster, please let me know. I was joking earlier, but i Go Go Home Monster could be E.T. (ofcourse i have no proof of this). Here's some food for thought: there are some pirates of ET that feature a label with ET in the foreground and a bunch of animals in the background that hold a banner that says "Go Home"... If you have never seen that one, i could try and find the label for you. I think i have it somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does say "Homevision" on screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have never seen that one, i could try and find the label for you. I think i have it somewhere... I know the label picture. The text on the banner is famous for its dubiousity: http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=1670 Ufi und sein Gefaehrlicher Einsatz is definately a pirate of Col 'N'. One look at the back of the box can confirm this: http://www.atariage.com/box_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=1670 But, as I said before (in post #70), it's not certain that Col 'N' is a Home Vision title. The original name of this Home Vision game could just as well be Go Go Home Monster. Another possibility is that Go Go Home Monster is the same game as Bobby is Going Home. Whatever may be the case, I'm 99% certain that Go Go Home Monster has nothing to do with E.T. from Atari.

Rom Hunter Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) Home Vision list updated (post #1). War 2000 (VCS83102) is the same game as Astrowar from Dimax/Sinmax. Dead-Ray (also the same game as Astrowar) is most probably not a real Home Vision game, but a pirate. Which makes sense. Here's the cartridge discription from Rick Weis: ...the dead-ray cart I have is in a black case with no # on it no end label and don't say homevision on it but front label has the house shape picture...

Foxsolo2000 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Rom how in the seven Hells did you find that one out? Are you 100% sure?

Rom Hunter Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) There's one thing that bothers me. Take a look at this screenshot from Meteor Defense (ITT Family Games): You can clearly see the Home Vision logo on screen. If War 2000 (Home Vision) is the same game, but with the Dimax logo on screen, then where does that Home Vision logo come from? Who put it in? Why doesn't War 2000 have the Home Vision logo on screen? Is there perhaps another version of War 2000?

Foxsolo2000 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 If Missile War isn't War 2000 then what possible Home Vision game could it be? Haven't we covered all of them between us? Could there really be another War 2000 floating around? Jeez, just when I thought we were making progress another mystery pops up to add to all the others. Never mind waiting to see what the river turns up, this is more like a sewer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Missile War (Goliath - Hot Shot) and War 2000 (Home Vision) are the same game as Astrowar (Dimax - Sinmax). Both games (Missile War and War 2000) even have the Dimax logo on screen. What I mean is that Meteor Defense (ITT Family Games) is also the same game as Astrowar (Dimax - Sinmax), except for one difference: Meteor Defense (ITT Family Games) has the Home Vision logo on screen, instead of the Dimax logo. And this really surprises me, because War 2000 from Home Vision itself has the Dimax logo on screen. So maybe there are War 2000 versions with the Home Vision logo on screen, instead of the Dimax logo.

Foxsolo2000 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I see what you mean Rom. I thopught you meant that there was yet another undiscovered Home Vision game to find, what a relief that there isn't You are right about the ITT game though. Why would they have the Home Vision name on a game they pirated and the same is true for Home Vision who possessed the Artic name on their game. Once again it just doesn't make any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
