Nichibutsu My Vision

The My Vision (Japanese: マイビジョン, Hepburn: Mai bijon) is a home video game console developed by Nichibutsu and released in Japan in 1983. The system was dedicated solely to playing video versions of popular board games. The console had no controllers; instead, players used a keyboard on the front of the console to input their actions. My Vision had various disadvantages compared to it's rivals. The biggest liability would be the controller. The controller was like a keyboard, which wasn't friendly for action games. In addition, the only way for two players to play together was the second player to own a My Vision console also since the console didn't support a second controller. Instead, the use of a link cable that would connect through a communication port on the back of the unit was necessary. And lastly, the sound was produced by an internal speaker and not from the TV. All this advantages, along with the high price, led to the quick demise of My Vision. There are only 6 cartridges known for My Vision home console
