PV-1000
The Casio PV-1000 (ぴーぶいせん, Pi Bui-Sen) is a third-generation home video game console manufactured by Casio and released in Japan in 1983. It was discontinued less than a year after release.
The PV-1000 was released in October 1983. It was only released in Japan where it sold for 14,800 yen. Casio failed to achieve a significant market share. According to retrogames.co.uk the console was pulled after several weeks due to low sales.
The PV-1000 is powered by a Zilog Z80 CPU, with 2 KB RAM, shared between the CPU and video generator. The console contains a NEC D65010G031 chip used to output video and sound. It can generate 8 × 8 pixel tiles in a 32 × 24 array, with the two left and two right columns not being displayed. This corresponds to a resolution of 224 × 192 pixels with 8 colours (3-bit RGB). It had three square wave voices with 6 bits to control the period.. The main PV-1000 controller was a joystick.
Only thirteen games were released for the Casio PV-1000, listed below by catalog number:
Note: There are 15 games for the PV-1000, but cartridges GPA-108 and GPA-113 were never released, and are often rumored to be Galaga and Front Line (which were released on the Casio PV-2000).
