Where do you start with this anomaly, unlike every
other Videopac console you could hope to find anywhere in the word, the "Ordinateur
De Jeu Brandt Jo7400" conforms to none of the styling set about by
Philips/Magnavox, unlike all the other clones such as Schnieder, Siera &
Radiola, Brandt went to town on their version.Brandt Even went so far as to produce games that aren't available under any of the other labels, including three dimensional games such as Moto- Crash+, and third party plus variants like Imagics Demon Attack+, Jopac games are fully compatible with the Philips G7400 and even produced a range that were compatible with the G7000. But never released under the Philips Badge.
In addition Their Was Basket/Bowling+ which was a PHILIPS development but JOPAC released it with PLUS backgrounds.
The JOPAC did get another branding though by Continental Edison, also known as the SABA machine, called the JO1450, a much rarer variant, although the JO-7400 is pretty scarce on the ground by itself.
Demon Attack+

Unsolved Mysteries
I still have some queries regarding some of the games, as the information is what I have gathered from elsewhere on the net and not first hand experience, although I do have around 13 Jopac games and two consoles. Most of the sources, in-fact the only other website I have found on the net with anything interesting regarding JOPAC is here at JOPAC ZONE
Questions ? Please help out if you can
1.
Restaurant, I have yet to see anyone who claims to have this, I suspect
it is an alternative title for chez Maxime, bringing the numbers down to 25.
NOW SOLVED !!! Restaurant has now been confirmed as
being a variant of Chez Maxime, but with english instructions.
2. Western+, again I have never seen one, , Jopac zone lists a part number of JXA A02 and cover art, but it would appear that's all he has on it, He even questions its release. In three years I've never seen one come up on eBay. Is this Vapour-wear, If you have any info, Pics or even a cart.. I would give good money for this baby.
