Dear Parent, 

VTech ® , with the introduction of our V.FLASH, offers kids a cool, fun, and 

educational alternative to the world of violent video games. We know that kids 

want to play popular video games, and we also understand parents’ reluctance 

to put potentially inappropriate content into their hands. As kids get older they 

want to be able to play independently, and make choices for themselves, and 

parents want to feel comfortable that these choices are going to be healthy and 

beneficial to their kids. 

With V.FLASH – an educational video game system designed for kids 6-10 

– VTech ® continues its tradition of providing unique and fun alternatives 

to the existing video game systems. V.FLASH combines age-appropriate 

educational content with outstanding 3D graphics, fast-paced game play, real 

video and pictures, and three unique modes of play to provide a state of the art 

experience that kids and parents will both love. Also, V.FLASH can play all 

of your standard music CDs, making it both a cool video game system as well 

as your own personal stereo! 

V.FLASH works with a full library of V.DISCs, each of them featuring some 

of your kids’ favorite characters. Best of all, every V.DISC comes with three 

modes of play, so your child is free to explore, play and learn in any way that 

they choose. Game zone offers fast-paced video game fun, with all the action 

but none of the violence. Knowledge World features a virtual encyclopedia of 

pictures, videos and facts. Creative Workshop lets kids show their creative side 

by making their own animations and custom 3D models. 

Best of all, the library of software will continue to grow, as VTech ® seeks to 

provide parents with an almost endless selection of wholesome video games that 

meet the individual needs and likes of their children. 

At VTech ® we are proud to provide you with a much-needed solution to the video 

game dilemma, as well as another innovative way for your child to learn while 

having fun. We thank you for trusting VTech ® with the important job of helping 

your child explore a new world of learning! 

Sincerely, 

Your friends at VTech ®
