Digiplay System II (#5872)

     The Digiplay system II, which is referred to as the 5872 system, is very interesting. It can be played on t.v.'s in the United States. This is unlike the original Digimed system 5368. The Digiplay 5872 system has the Digiplay logo on the left side of the front band, and the Portuguese text at the right side. I tried this system out a few years ago & thought it would not work on t.v.'s in the U.S.  Well, I was wrong.  It turns out they can be used,.... just not in color. Since television sets in South America are run on a different set of frequencies, the picture cannot be fully tuned in.  I am told by a Brazilian collector, that if you can fine tune the frequencies on the t.v., you can get the picture in color. All of the Digiplay games that I have tested will play on a console in the U.S. as well as the Digiplay systems.

        Digimed System  (#5368)

     The Digimed system 5368 is modeled after the U.S. version 2609 unit. Other than the Portuguese text on the gold panel, it looks identical!  The system uses a (PAL) power source, so it cannot be used through outlets in the United States. I am told that an adapter can be used, but I am unsure of this.

      I received the 5368 system a while ago, and have been searching for a Digiplay voice synthesis unit ever since.  I am unsure if one even exists since Digiplay never came out with any games for it. A collector in South America has revealed to me that he did see one a while back.
