in Argentina, under two different models: the Supervision (in a form factor resembling Nintendo's Game Boy) and the Hipervision. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, it was released as the 泰可BOY (Tiger Boy). The QuickShot version differed from the original Watara format by having the console body split into two parts enabling the screen to be tilted in relation to the control section. This version was also the initial release in North America, although without the QuickShot branding. In the mid 1990s, the Supervision was once offered as a final prize on the television game show Legends of the Hidden Temple (as well as Masters of the Maze). It was also offered as a prize on the premiere of the similarly short-lived The New Price is Right in 1994. Quickshot's UK version of the Supervision was heavily featured for a time on ITV's gaming show Bad Influence! Presenter Violet Berlin could be seen playing a Supervision in many of the show's publicity photos. History A prototype of the Supervision was exhibited at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in 1992. The Supervision was released before Christmas 1992 with eighteen launch titles, and it was advertised that fifty games were released by November 1992. The Supervision's game library was criticized for being 'too simplistic' compared to that of other consoles, which outweighed the value of their budget price, which ranged from US$8.95. to US$14.95 per game. One critic from Electronic Games said in respect to the Supervision that "it is still possible to be disappointed in a game that costs under fifteen dollars". Soon after the Supervision's release, the Game Boy Basic packaging option was announced, which made the Game Boy more affordable, costing only ten dollars more than the Supervision; this undermined the Supervision's 'budget' marketing strategy. Similar to the functionality of the Super Game Boy, the Supervision can be connected to a television to allow for a larger screen to play on. A peripheral that would add color support to games was planned for release in the latter half of 1993, but was never released. The Supervision was distributed in the US by Goldnation, and in France by AudioSonic. More third-party games were planned for release for the system in 1993 but never materialized, including movie licences such as Rambo and Terminator.
