- The Japan-exclusive PV-1000 came and went in an instant. Despite its small window of marketability, it managed to get over a dozen games in its library. Regarding Warp & Warp, there's an additional gameplay style similar to Bomberman which I regretfully missed out on.

I regret not spending more time with Warp & Warp, it has an additional gameplay style similar to Bomberman that I missed out on.
It's just "Warp Warp;" there is no "&." It's also know as "Warpman" on the Famicom.
The pal version is slower than the ntsc & ntsc-j because of the power frequency being 50hz instead of 60hz. This frequency is required to get a stable picture out of the tv set or composite video monitor. So in a way someone is correct it would play slower but it is dependent on the region.
@@briangoldberg4439 The title screen says "Warp & Warp" on the PV-1000, although the & is pretty small so it's easy to miss.
@@FrameRater Oh yeah, I see that looking at the in-game title screen. The box art for all of them omits the "&," so I never even saw that.
Shout out to the literal one person in your discord that owns a PV-1000
that is still a lot of person for this console
That would be me. Lol.
where the hell did you get it?
@@meinlaben1814 Make a video of it or you are full of it. Too rare to believe on just rando's word.
@@Wallyworld30 There's a nice way to do that, man.
You'd think a company known for making keyboards would have better music on their systems than this
Weren't many of these games developed by third parties?
@@alanbareiro6806 The actual sound quality on this is on par or worse than an Atari 2600. Can't exactly blame third-party devs on that.
Yeah, but still, I think you could still make some good compositions on any sound chip if you know what you are doing. The thing is that this console was yeeted even before it could do anything.
Most Casio keyboards were glorified toys to be fair
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.
Colecovision was much better
It's the same case as the Sega SG-1000, which came out at the same time as the Famicom, except SEGA realized it and came back with the Mark III/Master System.
Hey colecovision was ahead of its time. Way better than this and Atari.
@@hellbillymods45 the SG-1000 still smashed this
@@edstar83 yep. The CV was the equal of the NES, and only needed the better developers and added cart tech the NES got, ie more Rom, ram and added coprocessor chips
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.
Same here!
As a person who knows how to play Japanese Mahjong, I can confirm that Excite Mahjong is a solid Mahjong game 👌
One might say, it is _exciting._
FrameRater indeed 👍

The text notification sound that plays when your manager texts you
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.
Naughty Boy: starring Mike Myers according to the box art
Hello!
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!
Next time: PC Engine SuperGrafx Library | Looking at all 5 Games
I agree he should make that
Thank you so much for including short audio clips with the games!
Next video should be ranking all 18 games on the Dick Smith Wizard
The what now?
Doesnt seem to handle sprites. That blackout around the character or object.
I really want to see a Nokia ngage video with all 65 games
Oh yeah that would be cool
Unfortunately, N-Gage emulation still isn't very far along, otherwise this would be an excellent idea.
Gizmondo when?
That would be a good one
Pooyan: Mama pig protecting her babies from wolves by shooting arrows. The "missile" is meat that pops all the wolves balloons.
I absolutely love Pooyan!! The action gets faster and the wolves get harder to shoot down and your chances of the wolves either attacking you, or dropping the boulder on you increases a lot. It one of my personal favorites and it holds well for a golden age arcade game.
A large portion of these games remind me of the MSX (also 1983) games with the same name... might be nice to compare them.
I'm immediately interested in the PV-2000 library only because it has Galaga. Hope you cover it whenever you feel like it!
I know basically nothing about this system, so this vid was fascinating.
Another awesome video! Thanks dude!
I love learning about 80’s consoles
29.1.24
Fantastic! I love weird, obscure things like this!
Love these library reviews.
Thanks dude, finally another good video.
Thanks for crediting the photos of my PV-1000 at the start of the video @frazer_HX
Awesome. New to me. Getting a cup of tea for this one.
0:36 I actually immediately think of a Keyboard (the instrument, not the PC variant) whenever I hear "Casio".
I am using a watch exactly identicall of the one showed there. Cool
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!
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)
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
Nah it's not that. I know the tune but also don't know the tune.
Ah it's Desecration Rag. th-cam.com/video/vV0n_f6lNNY/w-d-xo.html
@@6581punk It's actually Humoresque by Dvorak th-cam.com/video/LR9msTsmpZs/w-d-xo.html . Desecration Rag is named for the things it does to classical favorites
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
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.
I'm a musician so Casio relates more to keyboards than to those watches with calculators.
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!
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?
This thing looks like it came out in the late seventies, zero chance at competing against the Famicom
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
Pretty sure Amidar's BGM is just the OP to 60s anime "Gaboten Shima". Weird to hear it in this context.
Mark my words, someone will make this console play Bad Apple someday.
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)
I find relatively obscure consoles fascinating, this one doesn't seem that cool to me. Atari Jaguar had an enticing idea with unusual games. Adventure vision had a built in screen with red monochrome graphics. Astrocade was pretty powerful for the time, and had a keyboard built on the console. This just seems like an underpowered console made up of arcade games better on other consoles. Though I'm glad at least you can see it's beauty 🙂 . Also, if you are into this, check out the Emerson Arcadia. It kinda reminds me of this.
@@bubbythebear6891 I find the Adventure Vision and Astrocade quite interesting machines and I honestly think the Atari Jaguar is a very underrated console, and I do see what you mean as the Arcadia is quite similar to the PV 1000 especially with the controllers and games. I can see why the PV 1000 doesn't interest you but at least it is way better than the Gakken Compact Vision TV Boy from around the same time period.
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.
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)
Let me guess
Inflation
There are cores for the PV-1000 and PV-2000 for the MiSTer FPGA
This is the obscure niche crap I live for
I think digdug what it’s missing it’s a good title screen
Awesome!
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).
Cool looking console though, especially for '83
You ever thought about doing a Console library installment on the Emerson Arcadia? It has only 35 games, I think.
Yeah I thought about it, afaik emulation is tough (and apparently only doable on Amiga?? Or something??) But I'd love to see if it's possible.
@@FrameRater I read that the Arcadia emulator for Amiga now has an enhanced port made for Windows called Winarcadia that's supposedly really good. I don't know much else, nor have I tried it. I tried posting a link to a page about it, but I think TH-cam thought it was a spam message and deleted it.
The next console library video you do should be for the Sega SG-1000
I have put considerable thought into that honestly, but it more than likely won't be next.
@@FrameRater Thanks for replying!
what was the gameplay in the beginning of the video?
I like the color of this console
DIG DUG, I REMEMBER THIS GAME.
Are you able to do the sequel consoles
Will you do a Libary video on Apple Bandai Pippin?
Unless an emulator for the console surfaces, no.
What happened with the in-game explosion at 0:16? I get that YTs compression algorithm is ruthless, but sheesh.
It's from a chinese source that censored the gore.
This sure is one of the consoles of all time.
10:16 sounds like Atari 7800 Mario Bros intro
It's under 9000 (units sold)!
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.
Shocked Dig Dug got ported instead of Pac-Man. It would be easier to port Pac-Man instead of Dig Dug
Legit how do you find these things
Mr. Artacka he used an emulator and there is documentation about this online
This last game came to the nes with the name Warpman
I actually like this game
Released right after the Famicom, ouch.
Warp warp is basically wizard of wor
Space Panic looks like Lode Runner to me.
This console could've benefited from a CD add on 🤔
Cool looking system though, especially for the time
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.
wasn't able to find any games, except a little bunch, they look no more on the net
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.
The lost Serious Sam game? Haven't you played Pharaoh's Tomb!
Jeezoo that Dig Dug port is horrendous I was at least expecting something close to or better than the 2600 version
The character sprites are comparable to the NES/Arcade; too bad the rest of the game SUCKS!!
Best consoles to play Dig Dug on are the NES or Atari 7800. Best 8 bit computer version is the Commodore 64.
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 ?
them snakes look like from Indiana Jones on Atari
Isn’t that Stern’s Turtles?
Casio makes rugged smartphones
Oh look it's one of those consoles you find on wikipedia youve never heard of
I’m impressed a port of Naughty Boy exists. But why?
Can't believe there's a game called Naughty Boy. lmao
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.
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.
Pooyan tune is Desecration Rag. th-cam.com/video/vV0n_f6lNNY/w-d-xo.html
Hey check out mightnight mutants on 7800
yooo how tf is "average" not the middle of the rating scale?! 🤨
Because I don't see the point in having three negative choices in a five slot chart. If a game is less than average, it probably should be avoided. No need to be more specific than that.
@@FrameRater Hah makes sense. Keep making videos man, they're great
50hz at 60hz speeds up
0:58: "PV-1000 games were not backwards-compatible."
Was it cheap? I mean it looks like MSX. Might have been all right if it had a lot of MSX ports.
Gaming
Reminds me of the ZX Spectrum. That's not a good thing.
It isn't?
I can see where you're coming from, but as someone who was born both long after the spectrum and in the US, where it was not popular, I really like the spectum, color limitations and all.
ZX Spectrum.could do alot more than this though some games played better on ZX Spectrum than the Nes despite Nes begin way more powerful.
Same here. It looks more like an MSX-1 with worse colour clash, hence the Spectrum feeling.
