Hi Dennis,

After a visit to your Home Videogames Museum I thought that I should tell
you about another clone of the Arcadia 2001 system: the Hanimex HMG 2650.
At least in central Europe the system was sold under this name. According
to an old German book on home videogames that I have, 22 cartridges were
available in 1983, and 10 more were about to be released.

In the book it also says that some of the games for the German Palladium
system were identical to the Arcadia/Hanimex system, although they had
different names. However, the Palladium cartridges could not be used with
the Hanimex system or vice versa (because it was physically impossible to
insert the cartridge).


Regards,

Robert
