I recently got a boxed copy of this system, its in pretty good condition though quite dirty but an easy job with some soppy water.
|
|
|
|
Just wanted to tell you that the my copy still has the price tag on its ¥18,500 (¥29,298 with inflation) for the main system (that i got), the system uses 4 D-cell battery''s but the label also states you can buy a AC adapter (plugs in in the back) for an extra ¥1,500 back in 1978.
|
|
|
|
Hopes this helps someone!

The Epoch TV Baseball is an early japanese video-game released in 1978. It is a stand-alone system, as it can play only one game: baseball!
|
|
|
|
Indeed, baseball has always been very popular in Japan. It was logic that it inspired first videogames there.
|
|
|
|
The game can be played by two players, one launching the ball and the other manipulating the bat. There is a detachable controller with only one fire button, and all the other controls are on the system itself.
|
|
|
|
It is interesting to note that this baseball game is apparently the same (?) found on cartridge for the [Epoch Cassette Vision](/museum/epoch-cassette-vision/).
