History of video games/Platforms/Ultravision Video Arcade System

History
Ultravision, Inc. of Miami, Florida began advertising the system with a teaser in an issue of Electronic Gaming in November 1983.

The system was formally announced at CES 1983 as the Ultravision Video Arcade System (VAS) was a hybrid video game console with a color television built in and home computer functionality slated for a summer 1983 release. The price of the system was to be $999.

Financial issues caused the system to be shuttered shortly afterwards in summer of 1983.

Technology
A major design goal of the system was to make personal computing more approachable, rather then simply being a single purpose game console.

The VAS was to ship with 64 kilobytes of RAM, which could be doubled to 128 kilobytes with an expansion. Add ons were planned to allow for compatibility with existing Atari 2600 and Colecovision games.

The built in 10" color television supported 84 channels.
