Hello from Nova Scotia, though I am originally from the UK where amongst other things I worked for Voltmace where I programmed a couple of games for them. I pretty much forgot all about for several decades but am getting back into programming, mainly on an emulator, but I now have two Voltmace consoles that I am working on getting running on modern tvs. I have recently teamed up with Chris of Dead Flesh Retro https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC21J52nwWMdnsBUyk2sXn8A (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC21J52nwWMdnsBUyk2sXn8A) to try and promote interest in the Interton/1292 APVS family of consoles.
Welcome to RVG!
Wow, I believe I still have mine in the loft, with some cartridges. I remember visiting the factory/shop once as a child, Baldock wasn't it ?
Yes, it was in Baldock, first in Church Street, then Park Drive. How did you come to visit the factory?
Your console shouldn't be in the loft !!!
Gosh, I think it needed repair... it was a long time ago. All I remember is a room that was very shiny... I was young. It's in the loft unfortunately as I no longer have a TV that will work with it, like much of the retro kit (my two Orics for example)
Well, if you ever need some help getting it all cleaned up and working on modern TVs, we can def help with that :))
I have never heard of this before lol. Just looked it up though and it's a cool little system. Good luck!
Welcome aboard, I have never seen one of those consoles let alone played one lol.
Welcome.
I never heard of the system either. Maybe I'll start a separate thread for it.
That would be cool, but if you do, please consider that it is part of a family of clones that in the UK included Acetronic, Rowtron, and in Germany Interton VC4000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1292_Advanced_Programmable_Video_System
Oh, didn't know that either. :)
