Well everyone gave you a good update on the COSMOS but no one talked
about the Adventure Vision. Here are a few facts I found my searching
goolge; this unit was considered state-of-the-art in 1983 as it was the
only tabletop cartridge-based game system (not counting the Vectrix).
Entex's machine required no TV hook-up since the screen was built-in,
with 6000 light locations to create images with more than 20 times the
resolution of any table-top game on the market at the time. It used
four "D" batteries and came with a Defender game cartridge. The unit
also featured a full fidelity speaker that produced unrivaled sound
effects. During it's short run only about 4 games were produced for it.

I have a Microvision (in not so good shape, I don't know if it's
functional or not) but never heard of Adventure Vision or COSMOS.
More info?
