The VTech Laser 200 was an early 8-bit home computer from 1983, also sold as the Salora Fellow (mainly in Fennoscandia, particularly Finland), the Texet TX8000 (in the United Kingdom) and the Dick Smith VZ 200 (in Australia and New Zealand). The machine ran basic games on cassette such as "Hoppy" ''Frogger'', "Cosmic Rescue" ''Scramble'', "VZ Invaders" ''Space Invaders'' and ''Moon Patrol''. The computer was discontinued in 1985 to make way for more advanced home computers. ==Release== At its UK launch, Texet claimed that the £98 TX8000-branded version was the cheapest colour home microcomputer on the market. However, this was not enough to ensure its success against the dominant ZX Spectrum and similar machines already on sale.〔Bennett, Bill, (Texet TX-8000 review ), ''Your Computer'' magazine, April 1983. Retrieved 2007-03-21.〕 Most notably, the Spectrum-like Oric 1 was selling for £99 at this point, and offered a far higher specification than the Texet for little difference in cost. The "Dick Smith"-badged VZ 200 was more successful in Australia, where it proved popular as a first computer.〔(Dick Smith VZ-200 ), thepcmuseum.com.
