  The Emerson who? That's the comment on most people's minds when they =
visit=20
  this entry in the museum. The system was extremely shortlived because =
of bad=20
  forsight and timing. Because of this, doccumentation of it is =
extremely small=20
  and slowcoming. <BR><BR><BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; =
It's=20
  actuall conceptual origins are mysterious, as it was simultaniously =
released=20
  in several countries under several different names. What is clear is =
that=20
  Emerson Radio did the actuall designing, as the system was displayed=20
  trademarked to Emerson on March 26, 1982. <BR><BR><IMG height=3D135=20

  <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Emerson Radio Corporation =
started in=20
  1948 vacuume tube based radios. By 1980, they had expanded in to =
televisions,=20
  record players, vcr's, fans, and general consumer electronics =
products. They=20
  market their products at an international level to mass merchants=20
  (distributors) and select retailers.=20
  <BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In 1981, Emerson decided =
to enter=20
  the video game market and set out to design their console. What most =
likely=20
  happened at this point was that the idea was sold to their =
international=20
  distributors who signed up to market the console. Companies such as =
Australian=20
  based <A href=3D"http://www.hanimex.com.au/">Hanimex</A> (founded in =
1947 to=20
  import electronics and by 1981 had divisions all over the world, =
including=20
  Sydney, Australia - Swindon, UK - Auckland, NZ - Canada - Paris, =
France - and=20
  Germany) would go on to market the console under their own console =
name in=20
  Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. In this sense, the =
console=20
  became almost similar to the <A=20
  href=3D"http://www.classicgaming.com/gamingmuseum/3do.html">3DO</A> =
console to=20
  be released almost 10 years later.=20
  <BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At the time the Arcadia =
was being=20
  developed, the three main consoles were the <A=20
  href=3D"http://www.classicgaming.com/gamingmuseum/2600.html">Atari =
2600</A>, the=20
  Intellivision, and the Odyssey2. Keeping this in mind, they decided to =
make=20
  their consoles competitive to these. One of which was already 4 years =
old and=20
  showing it's age, the 2nd one having even less graphics capability =
than the=20
  1st even though it was released the year after, and 3rd one released =
the last=20
  year and rapidly gaining a market share on it's "superior" graphics. =
The=20
  bottom line being that instead of going to kill the market with a next =

  generation console, they instead decided to slightly improve upon what =
there=20
  already was and make it more economicaly competitive. Looking at the =
products=20
  made by Emerson - usually described as "value priced", this strategy =
would=20
  make sense to them. <BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The =
first to=20
  leak news of the coming game system was Hanimex, to the UK based =
magazine=20
  Computer and Video Games, in March of 1982 (the article appeared in =
Issue 8,=20
  June 1982). In it they described the Hanimex Home Arcade Centre, with =
17=20
  cartridges including arcade ports (with games being written by a then=20
  unmentioned American based company), game controllers similar to=20
  Intellivision's, and a price of 89 pounds. <BR><BR>The design of the =
console=20
  laid out like this:<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; =
<B>Signetics=20
  2650</B> - Emerson chose the Signetics 2650 as it's processor of =
choice for=20
  the console. Signetics, a Korean micorprocessor company, had designed =
the 2650=20
  as an 8 bit chip capable of addressing 32k of memory. Emerson chose to =
use=20
  only 1K of Ram, thinking this to be clearly superior to the less than =
1k Ram=20
  the Atari 2600 had, yet low enough to keep the cost down since ram was =
of=20
  course still very =
expensive.<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;=20
  <B>Signetics 2637N</B> - Emerson chose the Signetics 2637N as it's "do =

  everything else" co-processor. The chip was capable of generating =
character=20
  graphics, doing collision detection, handling 4 sprites, and A/D =
conversion.=20
  <BR><BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It was decided to =
make the=20
  console smaller and more portable than the other available consoles. =
Emerson=20
  hoped this would make the console more attractive to parents who would =
not see=20
  it as something more to clutter the house, and children who would be =
able to=20
  cary it to friends houses and elsewhere. Keeping this in mind, they =
decided to=20
  make have the Arcadia use a 12V power supply - those usually used in=20
  recreational vehicles such as boats and campers. <BR><IMG=20
  src=3D"file:///C:/new/emerson_files/arcadiacontrol.gif" align=3Dleft>=20
  <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The controllers were to be=20
  Intellivision controllers, right down to the disc and and overlays. =
However,=20
  there was one "improvement" - they decided to leave a hole in the =
center of=20
  the disc for screw in joystick levers that came with the unit. Another =
economy=20
  idea, which they tought would allow them to get both Intellivision =
disc=20
  lovers, and Atari, etc. joystick lovers in one shot.=20
  <BR><BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But, a funny thing =
happened=20
  on the way to the market for Emerson. Something they had not counted =
on: the=20
  2nd generation conosles were introduced that summer at the Chicago =
Consumer=20
  Electronics show and later. <A=20
  =
href=3D"http://www.classicgaming.com/gamingmuseum/colecovision.html">Cole=
co and=20
  their Colecovision</A> shocked the industry with their sudden re-entry =
in to=20
  the console market. GCE debuted their all in one vector gaming system, =
<A=20
  =
href=3D"http://www.classicgaming.com/gamingmuseum/vectrex.html">Vectrex</=
A>. And=20
  Atari followed not long after with their <A=20
  href=3D"http://www.classicgaming.com/gamingmuseum/5200.html">Atari =
5200</A>.=20
  Suddenly, the market was very different. And the Emerson Arcadia was =
showing=20
  it's age before it even hit the stores.=20
  <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another problem they were =
already=20
  having was in the games. When Hanimex originally leaked about the =
console,=20
  they mentioned that the arcade games Phoenix, Defender, Crazy Climber, =
Pac=20
  Man, Galactica, and Bezerk would be released for it. However, 1982 =
signaled a=20
  shift in policy in the gaming industry as well with regards to copying =
games.=20
  Before that time, it was fairly common that if an arcade game was =
successful=20
  it would be cloned by a legion of "me to" enterprises. It happened =
with Pong,=20
  Surround type games, and Space Invaders. However in 1982, Atari had =
licensed=20
  the mega-arcade hit Pacman from Namco for use on Atari's gaming =
consoles and=20
  computers. They subsequently started agressively suing anybody that =
had=20
  anything remotely similar for their computer or console, which =
included=20
  Commodore for some of their released software, and Magnavox for it's =
Odyssey2=20
  release of K.C. Munchkin. Fearing lawsuits, Emerson suddenly had to=20
  significantly change most of it's games (including already finished =
ones). So,=20
  Phoenix became Space Vultures, Defender became Space Squadron, Crazy =
Climber=20
  was never released, Pac Man became became Crazy Gobbler (and was only =
released=20
  overseas), Galactica became Space Attack (although Galactica the =
arcade game=20
  was in itself a pirated Galaxian coinop released throughout Europe), =
and=20
  Bezerk was released in two versions - as Robot Killer overseas with =
little or=20
  no change from the arcade Bezerk - and as the legalized version called =
Escape.=20
  <BR><BR><IMG height=3D160 =
src=3D"file:///C:/new/emerson_files/cattrax.gif"=20
  width=3D250 align=3Dleft> <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; =
Some games were=20
  legally licensed however. Cat Trax, which was a coinop that itself was =
a clone=20
  of Mouse Trap (which itself was a "me to" Pac Man inspired game) and =
shown to=20
  the left, was licensed and released. Others included Red Clash, =
Pleiades,=20
  Turtles, Spiders, Jump Bug, and Rout 16. If you've never heard of most =
of=20
  these, it's because they were all pretty much lesser known coinops. =
You can=20
  experience many of them though with the <A=20

  <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, by the =
time the=20
  Emerson Arcadia was actually released in Fall of 1982, you had a very =
scared=20
  Emerson running around tryin to salvage it's "new" console. The first =
thing it=20
  did was slash it's price from $200 to $100. It also proceeded to lie =
in=20
  interviews to magazines such as Electronic Games, stating that the =

  <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The final nail in the coffin =

  was of course the video game crash of '83-'84 when any game production =

  not end there though. For the Emerson Arcadia seems to have been =
