1971

1971, Japan.

Tired of Scrabble, fondu and brown (or orange) coloured curtains, the Australian public turned to Japanese experts to create what would be considered by many video-game industry experts to be, "What could be the greatest home video-game system of the Winter of 1971". Led by Koyo Ayatama, renowned physicist and inventor of the common house-hold turtle, a team of approximately 5 to 18 Japanese pre-graduate University students were tossed a life-line by the then Liberal Prime Minister John Gorton, of AUD$1.6M.

It is understood that time passed, and things happened. Which brings us to the end of this history lesson. Time passed, and through the ravages of history, the story was lost. The fate of the infamous ErectraVision lies unknown. Once the project was completed John Gorton was elected out of office, and became a recluse. Two prototype consoles are known to be in existance. One is housed at the Ayatama Bread Shop behind a closed door, available for technical demonstration upon request, and the other is held in Canberra's ministerial offices.
