The PHILIPS
G7200 did get a limited release in the UK, but I had never seen
one. and to this day I have never seen the box to one. so that's one of my
personal "holy grails", please if you have any information on a
box to a G7200**, or if your a collector could you please just
supply me pictures.
**UPDATE
Thanks to site visitor Ulf Svensson, I have now got a picture of a G7200
box which I thought I would share with you all. Oh God I would like that
baby in my collection, so there it is. Needless to say I will be
taking serious steps to acquire it.
Like The G7000 Schneider released a variant
of this machine as did Radiola. In a very stylish black casing The Radiola
Jet27 & Schnieder G7200 are much sought after pieces of kit in the
Videopac world.
VALUE Schnieder G7200 or Radiola
Jet27
Unboxed £100-£130
Boxed (Don't Know) £350+
There was also the N60 with a built in screen, but a very different
design, that cannot really be classed as a 7200 variant but a new model
entirely, however the capabilities were identical. There is no known
Videopac+ variant of the G7200.
Of Course The G7200 apart from the built in
screen had no advantages over the G7000 and plays all standard Videopac
cartridges, it did have a change of keyboard layout and size making the
Musician and QFTR keyboard overlays invalid, The enhancement modules C7010
chess modules still work but hang funnily off the side.
I currently own two G7200s an extremely rare English
model, and more common French model. The 7200 got most success in France
and can easily be bought from there for use in the UK, simply converted my
use of a European mains converter (2 to 3 pin) the only real difference is
the English one says "Select Game" whereas the French asks
"Que Jeu ?". and the space bar language
