Arcadia 2001The Arcadia 2001 was a second-generation 8-bit console released by Emerson Radio Corp. It was released rather late for its type of console and only lasted 2 years; the video game crash of '83/84 brought it down along with every other console at the time. The game library was around 35 games, and the graphics were similar to those of the Intellivision and the Odyssey. The Arcadia was not named after the company of the same name, as some people think. Arcadia (makers of the 2600 supercharger) was sued by Emerson for copyright infringement regarding the name. To play it safe, their name was changed to Starpath. The Arcadia 2001 was sold from a few different firms with a different name: - Hanimex MPT-03(?) (first variant?) with large cartridge slot (Germany)
- Schmidt TVG2000 (Germany)
- Telefever (Germany)
- Hanimex HMG2650 (Germany)
