Tempest Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Ok I know I've posted before about this really obscure system that no one seems to have, but I found what I believe to be a complete game list. I was wondering how many of these games people have or have seen (which ones actually exist). I got this list out of one of the instruction manuals: I put *'s next to the ones I own VB-59 The Programmable VB-81 The Financier * VB-1000 Money Manger VB-1100 Budget System VB-1200 Information Manager CM01 Timeshare ED01 Music Teacher 1 * ED02 Math Tutor 1 * ED03 Wordwise 1 * ED04 Wordwise 2 * ED05 Video Artist ED06 Lemonade Stand * ED07 Musicianship 1 ED08 Number Cross ED09 Historical Simulation - France in the Old Regime EN01 Gladiator * EN02 Pinball EN03 Tennis EN04 Checkers * EN05 Blackjack * EN06 Vice Versa * EN08 Music Programmer EN09 Programmable Football Notice that EN07 is missing, I wonder why? Anyone else have any of these games? Tempest [ 04-10-2002: Message edited by: Tempest ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Never heard of this console. You have some information on it? I don't think I read those posts ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 It was a programmable computer/video game system released in 1977 by the Video Brain Computer Company. It's similar to the Odyssey^2 in many respects. I guess it's more of a computer than a video game system, but it used cartridges (big honkin' ones that look like VHS tapes) and not disks or tapes. Here's a picutre of an auction I won for some VB stuff: Video Brain Auction Here's a better picture of the system and some cartridges: Video Brain and cartridges Tempest [ 04-10-2002: Message edited by: Tempest ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 Check this VideoBrian game description out: ED04 Wordwise 2 – Brings touch typing into the computer age with three exercises designed to teach beginning typists. Includes “CYPHER” a fascinating new word game. Looks like VideoBrain beat me to my own game by 15 years! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
