VideoBrain Cartridges
Because the VideoBrain lasted just over a year, it had a
very limited library of cartridges. The
manuals included with each cartridge list various other
programs which may or may not exist. The names and
programs mentioned as 'coming soon' seem to change with each
manual as some programs were dropped in favor of others.
Various programs also changed names early on adding to
the confusion. Much like the Intellivision, the VideoBrain used the
idea of "Cartridge Series" to distinguish what kind of program
was on the cartridge. The Entertainment Series used a
red strip with a EN prefix, The Educational Series a blue
stripe with an ED prefix, the Money Management Series a green
stripe and a VB prefix (although APL/S did not use this), and
the Communication Series an orange stripe with a CM
prefix. The Demonstration cart used an ST prefix and a
lighter orange color. It's unknown what the ST stood for
but it may have simply been STore Demonstration. VideoBrain cartridges were manufactured for a little over a year starting on 2-28-78 with Pinball and Store Demonstration and ending on 3-2-79 with Vice Versa, Wordwise 2, and Math Tutor still being produced. Various cartridges were manufactured at different times, but the bulk of manufacturing seems to have stopped around mid February of 1979. APL/S is the only exception to this, being the last cartridge developed and one of the most complicated (requiring extra RAM), it was produced from 1-24-79 to 3-20-79 and had the smallest production run of any cartridge.
