Supervision

Variations

 

There were a number of different models of the Supervision made. The different models were manufactured between 1992 to 1996. They were manufactured by numerous companies in different parts of the world. This section explains the variations of Supervision types.

 

Model 9205

By far the most widely made model of Supervision. This model has a bendable mid-section and some came with support clips (as seen in the picture to the right) so that when screen was tilted it could stand by itself. Slight changes were made in the appearance when it was made by different manufacturers around the world.
 

With and without support clips.

 

Watara Industries Ltd was the main manufacturer of Supervision. Their versions were distributed in many countries of the world (including USA, Canada, Spain and Italy) and therefore came with many different boxes. Almost all Supervisions came with the Crystball game, but there was one release by Watara that came with Classic Casino instead, as seen in the third box. The Watara Supervision was distributed by Goldnation (who later became InTime International) in some countries including USA and Canada.

 

 

The Tai-Kerr Boy was made by Tai-Kerr Trading Co. for Release in China and Hong Kong.. Although it is a Supervision model, the name does not have the word "Supervision" in it at all.

 

 

The Vini-Spil (Vini Games) Supervision was released in Denmark.

 

 

Model 9205 was also made by QuickShot (but given the model number QS-800, see below), Hartung (but given the model number SV-100, see below) and Audiosonic (but given the model number GB-1000, see below).
