The Leisure Vision is a second-generation home video game console released in 1982 by now defunct Leisure Dynamics only in Canada[1] for a price of US$45.[2] It was one of many legally licensed releases of the Arcadia 2001 home video game console[3][4] and was trademarked on March 29, 1982.[5] The production discontinued in 1984.[1] The console looks exactly like the 2001 except for the label on the housing and packaging of the console.[3] It was also released in a white version which is more rare.[3] The system is not to be confused with a clone of the Intellivision which was released under the name "Leisurevision".[3]
It is also a version of the Tunix, a console released in New Zealand.[6] According to Canadian video game console collector CongoBongo, the Leisure Vision should not be called a clone but a licensed version.[6]
The Leisure Vision games library is about 25% larger than the library of the Arcadia 2001.[4]
