Super Cassette Vision

The Super Cassette Vision is a home video game console developed by Epoch Co. and released in Japan on July 17, 1984, with a European release in France later that year under the Yeno brand. It was designed as a successor to the original Cassette Vision, which had dominated the Japanese market in the early 1980s but faced competition from newer systems like Nintendo's Family Computer and Sega's SG-1000. The Super Cassette Vision featured an 8-bit NEC μPD7801G microcontroller, 128 bytes of RAM, and a TV-1 VDC video processor, capable of displaying 16 colors with up to 128 sprites. It was priced at ¥14,800 in Japan.

In 1985, Epoch released the Super Lady Cassette Vision, a pink-colored variant targeting young females, bundled with the game Milky Princess for ¥19,300. Despite these efforts, the system struggled to compete with Nintendo's Famicom and failed to gain significant popularity, leading Epoch to exit the console market by 1987.

The Super Cassette Vision had a library of games, including titles like Astro Wars, Elevator Fight, Lupin III, Boulder Dash, Miner 2049er, Dragon Slayer, Mappy, and others. Some games remained unreleased, such as Black Hole and Super Derby. The console's technical limitations and market competition contributed to its relatively short lifespan.
