@acb @ajsadauskas I found this video on YouTube talking about the Dick Smith Wizzard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riKkhmYBkcQ

It is a rebadged VTech Creativision under the hood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTech_CreatiVision

Interestingly, the chiclet keyboard is removable on the Wizzard/Creativision and it can be used (or sold) as games console without the keyboard.

The Dick Smith VZ200 and VZ300 are a rebadged VTech Laser 210 and 310, with a couple of modifications (the VZ200 had 8K RAM, the 200 just 4K): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTech_Laser_200

And a video on the VZ300, including its history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EvRcHnhG9k
