- The Emerson Arcadia 2001 was Emerson's only attempt to get into the video game industry. The Arcadia was an 8-bit game cosnole that uses cartridges. Emerson licensed out the Arcadia to various companies in Canada, Europe and Japan. The Arcadia consoles used a Signetics 2650 CPU. Despite this, they were not compatible with the 1292 series Like the 1292 series, the Arcadia came in many variations, most of which looked identical to the original Emerson model. Although the Arcadia's were all binary-compatible, they always couldn't swap the games because each family had different slots.
