Casio PV-2000 Sources: https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=1167 000 is a very obscure japanese system released in 1983 at the same time of the PV-1000 gaming system. These two systems are not compatible with each other, as they have very different architecure. The PV-2000 is closer to MSX systems than to its little brother PV-1000. The PV-2000 is crude little computer marketed as an initiation and gaming machine. The keyboard uses a flat plastic membrane just like the Sinclair ZX-81 for example. 8 direction keys act as a game controller along with two special "fire" keys next to the spacebar. Of course it had no great success. Only 11 cartridges seem to have been released for it, mainly popular Arcade hits (Pac&Pal, Rock'n Rope, Pooyan, Galaga, Super Cobra, etc).

the commodore max!

that will be enough for today

the box will clip, so I was looking for an opacicty mask that would smooth out that process. but it doesnt seem to work. maybe @y2guru has an idea how to use opcaity masks.. I've tried applying the attached images as opacity masks, but all I see is a TINY edge of the image

hey wow... look at all the folks comming in. maybe we should organize our labour?

dude these are askew too

it needed to be done ! so I did! "But klopjero, nobody plays that system!"I don't care!! .. this was the first time that I found something that resembled source material .. SO! Here!! take it ~!!

that's a nice look

That poor keyboard!!

when doing this sort of artwork it's very easy to get in a certain rhythm.. do you know what I mean ? you find a good image foor the console, you get the logo you need and then pick some fan art or box art and bam, another one done.

Are you sure ? You didn't adjust it for one of the hand held systems?

dude, why are your consoles at weird angles?

I've matched the keyboard color to that of the monitor.. it looks better.. @Kondorito hi!

didn't like the first one... WIP
