''Video Action'' was a series of arcade and home releases by Control Sales, the sales arm of [[Universal Research Laboratories]], released throughout 1974 to 1976. The series is notable for featuring the earliest home console release after the [[Odyssey (Magnavox)]], [[Video Action]] (AKA VA-1) and creating the earliest line of home console releases.

	[[Video Action II]]		The games of the series ranged from [[Pong]] derivatives to [[light gun]] and [[racing]] games with the final release in the series, [[Indy 500 (Video Action IV)]] which used Video Action as a company brand name. Universal Research Laboratories exited the home market due to both financial concerns resulting in their bankruptcy and lawsuits from [[Magnavox]].
