The Laser 200 / 210 was sold worldwide under different brands (Dick Smith, Texet, Salora, etc...). Maybe the most popular of these "foreign models" was the VZ-200 sold by Dick Smith Electronics.
The Laser 200 is the successor of the poor Laser 110 and was followed by the Laser 310.
It was a good choice if you wanted to buy a cheap computer for initiation.
We need more info about this computer ! If you designed, used, or have more info about this system,
please send us pictures or anything you might find useful.
Please consider donating your old computer / videogame system to Old-Computers.com or one of our partners from anywhere in the world (Europe, America, Asia, etc.).

Released a mountain load of VZ/Laser software few months back.
About 900 meg of VZ/Laser software with source code and whatnot.
Is my ever on-going project to collecting all VZ/Laser software.
The .VZ snapshots can be converted to .WAV files to load into a real VZ200/300 or Laser200/210/310. There are original games, demos, 1-bit music, and video files for the newly released VZ/Laser SD Card Loader.
530 meg zipped. https://archive.org/details/2023-apr-software
