Philips G7200
In the UK, Philips came with a special version of the Videopac called the 7200. This is essentially a G7000 with a built-in RGB screen. Radiola did the same with its Jet 27 and Schneider with its G7200. There has also been another version called the Philips N60.
Philips Videopac
Also being called G7400, this version has several improvements from the Odyssey²/Videopac. It features detachable cables and pads, a more powerful CPU but also it displays RGB natively! It was compatible for 7000 games and some got some enhancements with the 7400, similar to GameBoy/GameBoy Color games.
Unfortunately for the US, an Odyssey³ never hit the market.
Like for the other models, Schneider launched its own version with the G74+ and the Radiola with the Jet 741.
Jopac
Brandt is a French company which took just the architecture of the 7400 and released another case, rebranded it to the "Jo 7400", and even released unique games of the 7400 systems. The JOPAC did get another branding though by Continental Edison, also known as the SABA machine, called the JO1450.
