Adventure Vision
Developed by Entex 1982 this cartridge-based game is one of the rarest objects of technological history. The peculiarity of the Adventure Vision is the motor that is responsible for the video output. Based on 40 red LEDs in combination with a rotating mirror, it is comparable to the Nintendo Virtualboy from 1995 and the Vectrex from 1983.
