Dear Parent,

VTech®, 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 – VTech®

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’ favourite 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 3D models.

Best of all, the library of software will continue to grow, as VTech® seeks to provide

parents with an almost endless selection of wholesome video games that meet the

individual needs and likes of their children.

At VTech® we are proud to provide you with a much-needed solution to the video

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

fun. We thank you for trusting VTech® with the important job of helping your child

explore a new world of learning!

Sincerely,

Your friends at VTech
