Ultravision Video Arcade System

Here we have an advertisement from the November 1982 issue of Electronic Fun. It features the incredible Ultravision! It is portable (somewhat) and features a built in television with tuner, two joysticks, computer functionality (with optional keyboard), and Atari VCS (2600) and ColecoVision compatibility (with optional modules) in addition to its own unique games.

Never heard of it? That's probably because it was never released. Although there were ads in several magazines featuring the system, unique games, as well as Atari 2600 compatible games, only one game was ever released by the Miami based company and it was for the Atari 2600. That was Condor Attack, a rather poor rip-off of Demon Attack. The system was never released and none of the several announced games native to the system ever showed up even in prototype form.

The stats made it sound pretty nifty. Only 10 pounds and it could run on AC or DC power so you could run it off of a car battery for portability. It was supposed to have computer functionality as well though I couldn't find any stats on what kind of CPU or other hardware it had.
