Which firms manufactured Videopac stuff ?

· Obviously, Philips manufactured hardware : G7000 (called C52 in France), G7200, N60, G7400, G7401, C7420 module (and 7010 module) and software : most games.

· Radiola manufactured hardware : Jet 25, Jet 27, Jet 47, Jet 471 and C 7010; as well as cartridges : the same games as Philips. "Radiola" is written everywhere where "Philips" was written before on Philips cartridges and packaging. The games are exactly the same. Radiola manufactured cartridges from the beginning because they existed both with a cardboard box and plastic box. The cartridge from Radiola that I have with the higher number is Munchkin (#38). I know there is #43. Radiola should have manufactured games till the cartridge numbered #49 ! If you know if there is a more recent one, please contact me.

· Schneider only manufactured hardware : Videopac 7000, Videopac 7200, +74 and +741.

· Brandt manufactured one Videopac+ compatible unit under the name "Jopac JO 7400" (commonly called "Jopac") and also manufactured cartridges (see Jopac zone for details) including original games.

· Continental Edison/SABA manufactured another Jopac unit under the name "Jopac JO 1450".

· Parker manufactured its own games. These games were only available with a cardboard box.

· Imagic manufactured its own games. These games were only available with a cardboard box. Moreover, I'm not sure these games were available in France since I have never seen one, since no one (in France) is known to own one, and since Jopac spread "Demon Attack +" (with high resolution background graphics) with a note which read "licenced by Imagic".

· Magnavox (in the U.S.A.)
