The Sony TV Game Machine: Wonders of the Retro Gaming World

The Sony TV Game Machine is a mysterious game console prototype from (likely) the 1970s. Not much is known about it apart from the fact that it was shown at an exhibit dedicated to the founders of Honda and Sony in the early 2000s.

how does this video only have 90 views? this deserves much more support!

[@retrogameon]

Cheers for that.

[@legtendgav556]

I can almost garuntee that the red part lifted up like a trap-door with a hinge a the rear. That'd give it enough space for period-correct carts

[@retrogameon]

Possibly. Although in my head, I was thinking it was using something like a Sega Card. Sony used similar technology in some products during that period.

@@retrogameonMaybe the cards just had physical `pins` or notches on a basic pcb with no components that connected different pathways in the consoles pcb like the very early pong type cart machines released in America (channel f?), to enable different variations of pong already in the machines logic.

[@retrogameon]

@@meetoo594 I don't think this was a Pong clone or similar. The buttons seem to indicate there was a multiple choice of something, so there would need to be some sort of memory.

[@Usagik_Rabbit]

oooooh that is interesting

[@retrogameon]

Indeed! Here's hoping it pops up again someday.

[@Housestationlive]

you should have been released it april the 1st and everyone would have thought of a prank 😂

[@retrogameon]

Man the production of this video dragged on so long it very well could have been released in April

[@Housestationlive]

i wish your hard work to be rewarded with more views. take care@@retrogameon

[@jamesburke2759]

my bet is its fake to combat the fact they had only been 3 consoles in at the time

[@AB0BA_69]

You don't need an apostrophe when writing "from the 1970s". The "s" is not a possessive, it indicates plurality of years. 😂

[@retrogameon]

yeah yeah
