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’ 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 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
