Creativision was an interesting console. It was released in Australia as the Dick Smith Wizzard. Dick Smith was an Australian entrepreneur who ran a chain of electronics shops, similar to Tandy/Radio Shack in Australia. It had a 6502 processor and controllers similar to the Colecovision but the controllers had an alphanumeric keyboard split between the 2 controllers, instead of numeric keypads like on the Colecovision. Quite a capable system for the time.
You should check out the Astrocade. It's an old system from the late 1970s, and even has an excellent version of Wizard of Wor called The Incredible Wizard. It's actually an official port, but they had to change the name due to legal issues after the original makers of the console sold the rights to the system.

You were playing a 2 player game on pinball when the flippers did not work. Great video though. Excelsior
Bloody hell! haha.. oops!
The company that made this console "VTech" are still around today. These days they mostly make educational computers and electronics aimed at children
Yeah I remember a lot of their adverts with very brightly coloured devices!
I never heard of it.
Neither had I.
It was made by Vtech, who are technically still around today
