I regret not spending more time with Warp & Warp, it has an additional gameplay style similar to Bomberman that I missed out on.

Shout out to the literal one person in your discord that owns a PV-1000

You'd think a company known for making keyboards would have better music on their systems than this

There’s just something so interesting about all these systems that came out during the 80s and I love it keep doing these

This was released three months after the NES, looking at the graphs and it's framerate it never stood a chance. This looks like a competitor for the Atari or ColecoVision not the Nes.

As a person who knows how to play Japanese Mahjong, I can confirm that Excite Mahjong is a solid Mahjong game 👌

That was an interesting console. The games don’t at all excite me, but it’s interesting. The way the company seemed to went with it is funny, too. They basically released it and immediately went “Lol bye”

Never knew this existed. I thought the Loopy was Casio's only console.

Naughty Boy: starring Mike Myers according to the box art

It might be weird to think Casio "the watch company" made a console but keep in mind that back in the day SONY was the "speakers and TV" company, not the multi-billion dollar video game juggernaut it is today.

Next time: PC Engine SuperGrafx Library | Looking at all 5 Games

Next video should be ranking all 18 games on the Dick Smith Wizard

I really want to see a Nokia ngage video with all 65 games

Thank you so much for including short audio clips with the games!

8:25 The text notification sound that plays when your manager texts you

I see you have improved on what people have been bringing up the most, including short audio clips of the games. Thank you so much for that! You are growing!

Gizmondo when?

Doesnt seem to handle sprites. That blackout around the character or object.

Pooyan: Mama pig protecting her babies from wolves by shooting arrows. The "missile" is meat that pops all the wolves balloons.

I'm immediately interested in the PV-2000 library only because it has Galaga. Hope you cover it whenever you feel like it!

A large portion of these games remind me of the MSX (also 1983) games with the same name... might be nice to compare them.

Fact you probably didn't know: The Casio PV-1000 has the NEC G65010G031 (Good lord what a name) as the GPU and soundchip. It has 3 sound channels with only 1 channel volume. They are all detuned, but it's possibly tuned to C Sharp. Each channel does have a louder input, with Channel 3 being the loudest. So, it's basically 3 soundchips into one. (Atari 2600 for the detuning, The IBM PC Speaker for having only 1 volume switch, and the VIC-20 for having a shared volume control and bad tuning.) It explains why most games sound usually bad.

I know basically nothing about this system, so this vid was fascinating.

The rocks in Dig Dug look more like toy horsey you rock on as a toddler.

I consider Casio's PV-1000 essentially its version of the NEC PC-88 because of it having the same internal hardware in it.

I love learning about 80’s consoles 29.1.24

I am using a watch exactly identicall of the one showed there. Cool

Mark my words, someone will make this console play Bad Apple someday.

Thanks dude, finally another good video.

I'm a musician so Casio relates more to keyboards than to those watches with calculators.

This thing looks like it came out in the late seventies, zero chance at competing against the Famicom

So, I can say that Pooyan and Super Cobra are running too fast in the emulator. Long story to how I know this. I had a friend growing up whose father was an engineer for a Japanese car company. Well, it's more confusing than that. His dad's from Argentina, and he went to Japan to work for a major auto maker. He got married there and had some kids. Eventually, he was involved with trying to open a factory in Brazil, and moved to the US to work with the American branch of the manufacturer to do... Something here. He didn't give any details of what exactly he did. Unnecessary story aside, they had a PV 1000 with Pooyan and Super Cobra, abd we played it a lot. His dad made a joystick for it out of clicky switches, a tin, and some wood. I guess the controllers were impossible to find by the late 80s?

The graphics on this console look like they were drawn in one of those early electronic doodling games that you could plug right into the TV

0:36 I actually immediately think of a Keyboard (the instrument, not the PC variant) whenever I hear "Casio".

I just managed to get one, boxed. It also has a composite mod. I was looking for years. Before getting the console, I managed to get the multicart (the same shown in the video), made by Team Europe from Austria, so I'm able to play all the released games. I just got the system yesterday, so far I just played Dig Dug, because I love that game. I hope the controller never breaks, 'cause there are no replacements out in the wild!

The PV 1000 will easily be one of my favourite obscure consoles and when I say obscure I don't mean something like Atari Jaguar or 3D0, I mean actually obscure because there are very few machines less well known than this. I really like the look of it and for such a short lived system, it had a decent - ish library of games on it such as Dig Dug, Space Panic, Turtles ect. The thing I find most fascinating is just how short lived it was, in fact I might be incorrect here but I think the PV 1000 is the current record holder for console that spent the shortest time on the market, I believe it was only 3 months because it couldn't compete with the SG 1000, Famicom and Casio's very own much superior and cheaper computers. As a result it only sold 9000 units making it the 3rd worst selling system next to the View Master Interactive Vision (5000 units) and the Commodore 64 Game System (2000 units)

Pretty neat looking into all these obscure failed consoles by big tech companies. Hope to see you cover stuff like the Apple Pippin and Philips CD-I eventually. (fingers crossed for GC part 2 soon)

Wow I had no clue this even existed!

You apparenty didn't discover the warp part of Warp & Warp where when the barriers in the center flash, you enter it and are warped to a new screen which is essentially Bomberman.

Such an obscure console but interesting to hear about. Pooyan and Tutankham seemed the most interesting for the system.

The song in Pooyan is called "Scotland the Brave". Or at least I think that's it, from the very short snippet you included :D

This is the obscure niche crap I live for

Thanks for crediting the photos of my PV-1000 at the start of the video @frazer_HX

Fantastic! I love weird, obscure things like this!

Another awesome video! Thanks dude!

Pretty sure Amidar's BGM is just the OP to 60s anime "Gaboten Shima". Weird to hear it in this context.

Awesome. New to me. Getting a cup of tea for this one.

Shocked Dig Dug got ported instead of Pac-Man. It would be easier to port Pac-Man instead of Dig Dug

There are cores for the PV-1000 and PV-2000 for the MiSTer FPGA

I think digdug what it’s missing it’s a good title screen

Cool looking console though, especially for '83

Love these library reviews.

Pu-Yon's song is "Theme From San Francisco," a song Judy Garland did (and I know from Looney Tunes). All said, I actually assume the origin is older, but Wikipedia doesn't reference anything, so maybe it's original? Wikipedia also doesn't mention if it's public domain or not, which I assume it is, considering it was in Looney Tunes, and trashy movies like Clifford (with Martin Short).

I gather from your more personal videos that you're an over-thinker (not a criticism, just an observation). This is great for videos like this, as you obviously feel the need to delve deep into the history of the console and games.

This sure is one of the consoles of all time.

Tutenkham is a port of the arcade game Horrormaze, by Konami. it has th same gameplay mechanics such as shooting lasers only left to right, and in close impending doom, you can use a screen clearing mechanic

DIG DUG, I REMEMBER THIS GAME.

Dig-Dug was definitely one of the better games at the arcade. The speed was too fast at first methinks but it looked correct later.

It's under 9000 (units sold)!

This console could've benefited from a CD add on 🤔

Warp warp is basically wizard of wor

Released right after the Famicom, ouch.

My friend made a comment about the character in dig dug and I can never look at it the same (Also I’ve been trying to find a rom to the dig dug port on the PV-1000 and I can’t find it any help would be great)

I like the color of this console

10:16 sounds like Atari 7800 Mario Bros intro

The next console library video you do should be for the Sega SG-1000

Awesome!

You ever thought about doing a Console library installment on the Emerson Arcadia? It has only 35 games, I think.

Space Panic looks like Lode Runner to me.

Hey FrameRater, are you still planning on doing that Bonk series video that you teased a few months ago? I would love to see that sometime soon!

wasn't able to find any games, except a little bunch, they look no more on the net

Can't believe there's a game called Naughty Boy. lmao

This last game came to the nes with the name Warpman I actually like this game

Reminds me of the ZX Spectrum. That's not a good thing.

the original arcade version of naughty boy was jaleco's first game, and the port of dirty chemelian (known as simply chemelian in the arcades) was their third. naughty boy's spiritual successor pop flamer skipped the pv1000 in favor of the sg1000.

That thing tried to compete with the FamiCom? Yeah no wonder they pulled out of the market that fast. I remember PooYan being one of those games that were fun for like a level and then I got bored and played something else, kinda funny how growing up with a famiclone caused me to be familiar with some obscure stuff.

them snakes look like from Indiana Jones on Atari

what was the gameplay in the beginning of the video?

Legit how do you find these things

Isn’t that Stern’s Turtles?

What happened with the in-game explosion at 0:16? I get that YTs compression algorithm is ruthless, but sheesh.

Cool looking system though, especially for the time

Jeezoo that Dig Dug port is horrendous I was at least expecting something close to or better than the 2600 version

Are you able to do the sequel consoles

I’m impressed a port of Naughty Boy exists. But why?

Will you do a Libary video on Apple Bandai Pippin?

Oh look it's one of those consoles you find on wikipedia youve never heard of

If it's a PAL region console then it'll play too fast in an NTSC environment. Considering Japan used both standards back in the day (I think it's all NTSC in Japan now) it's not impossible this is playing too fast.

this console actually had some decent graphics. The character sprites on Dig Dug are near arcade perfect. too bad the game is extremely choppy. A smooth framerate and BETTER sound would have made this a contender to the NES, ColecoVision, and Commodore 64.

The lost Serious Sam game? Haven't you played Pharaoh's Tomb!

Casio makes rugged smartphones

"After all it is a PV-1000, do you have one?" No, because I have two, one is unopened in a sealed package, had no idea it was so rare

50hz at 60hz speeds up

0:58: "PV-1000 games were not backwards-compatible."

You know it's bad when the 2600 version of Dig Dug is better than your console

guess they should've stuck to watches

Naughty Boy is an arcade port, and in my opinion the arcadee version is actually much better than this version seems.

What? It didn't have River Raid? 🤣

it's like a japanese ColecoVision, only better colors. maybe they are compatible (bit corp's DINA ?) Sega SG-1000 rip-off ? also , how are the controllers on this ?

yooo how tf is "average" not the middle of the rating scale?! 🤨
