Leonardo

This is something of a rarity because it was marketed only in Italy. This console is nothing more than an Emerson Arcadia 2001 clone. The system was sold for a couple of years at a very good price (for the time): 150000 Italian lire (less than $100 USD at the actual exchange rate). The distributor (GIG Electronics) was one of the biggest toys distributors in Italy .

The funny thing is that the Leonardo was not the only clone of the Emerson Arcadia. This cloning seemed to also contribute to the ”Video Game Crash of 1984”. Other clones were:

  • Advision Home Arcade
  • Cosmos
  • HMG-2650
  • Home Arcade Centre
  • Intercord XL 2000 System
  • Leisure-Vision
  • Schmid TVG-2000
  • Tele-Fever
  • Tunix Home Arcade

    EMULATION
       M.E.S.S - Multi-Emulator Super System is a DOS based emulator capable of running many systems including this one. It has a Windows based GUI, and should be usable by most PC systems.
