Actual Entry (non editable)
Video Action (c) 1976 Universal Research Labs The third Pong console from URL. Built-in games: Tennis, Hockey. - TECHNICAL - Model VA-III - TRIVIA - URL's coin-op market revived around 1976 and the company released Video Action III (model VA-III), a cheaper unit that played two games (Tennis and Hockey) with a Robot mode to play against the machine. This Robot mode was very new in the home video game market (although a few hobbyist projects already featured it) and even featured a variable intelligence (that is, the speed the machine uses to move the bat in order to catch the ball: the faster the speed is, the harder it is to beat the machine). Instead of TTL chips used in VA-II, VA-III used CMOS chips (about 90 of them), which consumed much less power, hence the possibility of using batteries, which saved the cost of an internal mains power supply.
