Video Action II 'Home Version' Gaming Console with Original Box (Universal Research Laboratories) Exceedingly rare original ‘home version’ of the Video Action (Model VA-II) gaming console released by Universal Research Laboratories in 1974-1975. The heavy console, 24″ x 4″ x 14″, features a large game control base with four paddle controls and a central paddle display button. The front panel of the lower base features a knob for “Game Volume,” an on/off “Game Switch,” a ‘Game On’ indicator light, and a speaker vent, and the back panel contains a “Slo-Blow Fuse,” power cord, control cable receptacle, and a TV receptacle. Includes its original cardboard “Video Action” box by Universal Research Laboratories, which features various wear and stains. The console is in fine, untested condition. Accompanied by a printed copy of the Video Action II user manual. The Video Action (Model VA-II) was an early home gaming console released by Universal Research Laboratories (URL) in the summer of 1974 as part of the early wave of Pong-style games. The console included three built-in games - Hockey, Soccer, and Tennis - and early models of the VA-II were sold with a 12-inch Broadmoor television for $499, targeting bars and waiting rooms; another version, sans the TV, was offered the next year for $299. The VA-II was well-made but overly expensive, relying on the fact that it was the lone alternative to the Magnavox Odyssey. In 1975, at least five other consumer-grade PONG-style consoles were released in North America, including the Television Tennis by Executive Games, the FD3000 by First Dimension, both the Magnavox Odyssey 100 and 200, and the Tele-Games PONG (the Sears-branded version of the Atari PONG). URL released Video Action III and the INDY 500 in 1976, and then filed for bankruptcy the following year.
