TCW Podcast Episode 067 - The Birth of Japanese ConsolesWe 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=BW9lDLJgkusNintendo Color TV 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrVwYgYdaakNintendo Color TV Racing 112: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK3nLfWWJ6sEpoch TV Baseball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCZDqJTOP48Epoch TV Block: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ4z1wtK9HMAtari Video Pinball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSdH1I80ESQEpoch TV Cassetevision: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aARzm5NTol0Epoch TV Vader Console Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fO7hQvGXg0Epoch TV Vader Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOcUmpZErdkEpoch Cassetevision Galaxian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsGs9KcEc3k *** LIVE STREAM Sunday June 3rd at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClGlSl-zgLdxhJEbo_NKr4w/live New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month! TCW Email: [email protected] Twitter: @tcwpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworldsAlex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
