Might have been a Japan only release. Looks like a very cool 13 inch display.

Well, judging from what's on the screen in the picture where the kid is standing by the TV... I'd say it might have possibly been a joint attempt by Mattel Electronics and Sony to get the IntelliVision into Japan. If you look closely enough, you'll see Space Armada playing. Anyone that grew up 'tween 1978-1983 (I was 2 in '83 and already playing and hooking up game consoles) that played Mattel's console could probably recognize the game just from the Invaders-like image and iconic border.

Your idea is interesting.
I had thought of MSX Hit-Bit because of the "Hit" above the "port stick?"

@CPC6128 Well, keep in mind Atari for a short time had consoles in Japan. Was just making a somewhat educated guess from the TV showing a screen of Space Armada for INTV.

Nice find!

Apparently, it is just a normal TV with the connector to plug game consoles on the front...

You have succeeded finding Advertising, great!
Thanks :D

I thought that it was a TV integrating a console, but it is very interesting all the same.

They really push the idea of micro computers being hooked on the front. Maybe it's an RGB DIN plug on the front there? we can't really see it

Maybe it's just a composite plug though
