The Leisure Vision is a second-generation home video game console released in 1982 by now defunct Leisure Dynamics only in Canada{{Cite web|title=OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum|url=https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=2&c=1177|access-date=2020-08-12|website=www.old-computers.com}} for a price of US$45.{{Cite book|last=Starr|first=Michael|title=VINTROPEDIA - Vintage Computer and Retro Console Price Guide 2009|year=2008|isbn=978-1-4092-1277-5|pages=97|publisher=Lulu.com }} It was one of many legally licensed releases of the Arcadia 2001 home video game console[http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/others/leasurevision.htm Leisure Vision] Ultimate Console Database and was trademarked on March 29, 1982.{{Cite web|title=Arcadia 2001/Home Arcade Clones – The Video Game Kraken|url=http://videogamekraken.com/arcadia-2001-clones|access-date=2020-08-12|website=videogamekraken.com|language=en-US}} The production discontinued in 1984. The console looks exactly like the 2001 except for the label on the housing and packaging of the console. It was also released in a white version which is more rare. The system is not to be confused with a clone of the Intellivision which was released under the name "Leisurevision".

It is also a version of the Tunix, a console released in New Zealand.http://www.digra.org/dl/db/06278.19100.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjdjZL3zpXrAhWJ2KQKHY7dDPg4KBAWMAN6BAgJEAE&usg=AOvVaw0_GIBdZKS-n3RWVikLxF0C {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}} According to Canadian video game console collector CongoBongo, the Leisure Vision should not be called a clone but a licensed version.

The Leisure Vision games library is about 25% larger than the library of the Arcadia 2001.{{Cite web|title=Leisure Vision – Montreal Video Game Museum|url=http://en.mvmtl.org/timeline/leisure-vision/|access-date=2020-08-01|language=en-US}}
