The Birth of the Japanese Consoles

TCW Podcast Episode 067 - The Birth of Japanese Consoles We cover the start of Japanese home consoles beginning with the early dedicated systems and working up to the development of the Famicom and the Sega SC-3000.  Japan differed from the US in that companies had the opportunity to sell consoles that bridged the gap from dedicated consoles to programable consoles with LSI-cartridge-based consoles. Epoch was the only company that stuck with home consoles during this era.  Always remember the Famicom is not the first Nintendo console!   Before Mario Blog: http://blog.beforemario.com/ Bandai TV Jack 1000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW9lDLJgkus Nintendo Color TV 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrVwYgYdaak Nintendo Color TV Racing 112: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK3nLfWWJ6s Epoch TV Baseball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCZDqJTOP48 Epoch TV Block: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ4z1wtK9HM Atari Video Pinball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSdH1I80ESQ Epoch TV Cassetevision: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aARzm5NTol0 Epoch TV Vader Console Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fO7hQvGXg0 Epoch TV Vader Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOcUmpZErdk Epoch Cassetevision Galaxian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsGs9KcEc3k   *** LIVE STREAM Sunday June 3rd at 12:30 CDT (UTC - 5) *** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClGlSl-zgLdxhJEbo_NKr4w/live   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
