User’s ManUal

Dear Parent,
®, with the introduction of our V.FLASH™, offers kids a cool, fun, and
educational alternative to the world of violent video games. We know that kids want to
play popular video games, and we also understand parents’reluctance to put potentially
inappropriate content into their hands. As kids get older they want to be able to play
independently and make choices for themselves, and parents want to feel comfortable
that these choices are going to be healthy and benecial to their kids.
With V.FLASH™– an educational video game system designed for kids 6-10 –
®
continues its tradition of providing unique and fun alternatives to the existing video
game systems. V.FLASH™combines age-appropriate educational content with
outstanding 3D graphics, fast-paced game play, real video and pictures, and three
unique modes of play to provide a state of the art experience that kids and parents
will both love. Also, V.FLASH™can play all of your standard music CDs, making it
both a cool video game system as well as your own personal stereo!
V.FLASH™works with a full library of V.DISCs, each of them featuring some of your
kids’ favorite characters. Best of all, every V.DISC comes with three modes of play,
so your child is free to explore, play and learn in any way that they choose. Game
Zone offers fast-paced video game fun, with all the action but none of the violence.
Knowledge World features a virtual encyclopedia of pictures, videos and facts.
Creative Workshop lets kids show their creative side by making their own animations
and custom music.
Best of all, the library of software will continue to grow as ®seeks to provide
parents with an almost endless selection of wholesome video games that meet the
individual needs and likes of their children.

game dilemma, as well as another innovative way for your child to learn while having
