I found a small stash of Casio PV-1000 and PV-2000 game cartridges on Mercari a bit ago. The PV-1000 is a game console, and the PV-2000 is a computer (at least, in the same sense that the SG-1000 was a console and the SC-3000 was a computer). The PV-2000s I see are usually in terrible shape and cost a ton of money, while the PV-1000s also tend to cost a ton of money but aren't necessarily in such rough shape. I found a PV-1000 that was in somewhat rough shape but not too bad, and it ended for a comparatively reasonable price, so I stuck the winning bid on that. I was excitedly waiting for the PV-1000 so I could play with this hot stash of games. continued ⇒

Reviver is the type of game that doesn't seem like it should run on an 8-bit computer. I haven't gotten that far into it, but there's a lot to be impressed by. Its engine does a lot of heavy-lifting of graphics for the time. It's a multi-window game with configurable window positions and sizes. It allows you to move freely in eight directions with minimal load times between regions and events. And the sprites are absolutely huge, to boot. continued ⇒
This behemoth is already out of my collection, but it’s no fault of its own. It’s a lovely machine. I picked it up on Mercari and it worked perfectly. It was in beautiful condition and came with its original box and cover. It has a very cool APSS (automatic program search system) to navigate cassettes. And it’s got such a cool aesthetic! continued ⇒
I’d previously posted about this game for my Sharp X1. This is the PC-6001 version. Gameplay is the same, so it was mostly about seeing how the two ports compare. Considering how much more limited the PC-6001 is, I feel they did a great job in creating this version! continued ⇒
