VTech Laser 2001

The VTech Laser 2001 is not really part of the other VTech line of computers. The system architecture is different, as this computer is based on the 6502 CPU, not the Z80 as the other VTech machines. The Laser 2001 was produced together with the CreatiVision as a home video game console to compete with the Commodore 64 and the Atari systems. It was marketed as a multimedia console because it could play video games and could function as a home computer. Games and other software was available on cassette tapes, but the library was not as extensive as its competitors. One of the more popular games was an Asteroids clone called "Laser 2001".

One of the features of the machine was "compatibility with 2600 and Colecovision". This was achieved by a clone of a colecovision system that could be plugged into the computer. The colecovision then had a VCS2600 expansion box in turn.
