The VG 5000 is a computer created by Philips in 1984. Production ended in 1986. It was designed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotechnique La Radiotechnique] and manufactured in Le Mans (France).
It was marketed under the Philips, Radiola and Schneider brands. This marketing through a whole range of brands was a strategy aimed at making the VG 5000 appear as a standard like the [[MSX]] in the eyes of the general public.
Philips was already familiar with such a strategy, having used it in its [[Videopac]] gaming console, which was sold under the Philips (Videopac/Odyssey), Radiola (Videopac), Schneider (Videopac), Siera (Videopac), Magnavox (Odyssey²), Brandt (Jopac), Continental Edison (Jopac) and Saba (Jopac).
