VTech V.Flash Home Edutainment Learning System Owner's Manual
Dear Parent,
VTech®, with the introduction of our V.FLASHTM, 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 benecial to their kids.
With V.FLASHTM – 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.FLASHTM 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.FLASHTM
can play all of your standard music CDs, making it both a cool video game
system as well as your own personal stereo!
V.FLASHTM works with a full library of V.DISCTM, each of them featuring
some of your kids’ favorite characters. Best of all, every V.DISCTM 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 work in a cool 3D environment on creative projects such as model
building and custom animations.
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
