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.
History
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.
PV-2000
The PV-2000 was released shortly after the PV1000. It is compatible with PV-1000 controllers but not its games, as it features a different architecture.
In the same year Casio released two other consoles, the PV-7 and the PV-16 which were MSX computers.
Technical details
The PV-1000 is powered by a Zilog Z80 CPU, with 2 KB RAM, with 1 KB allocated as VRAM.[citation needed] It also has an additional 1 KB devoted to a character generator. The console contains a NEC D65010G031 chip used to output video and sound. It can generate 256×192 pixels with 8 colours. It had three square wave voices with 6 bits to control the period.
