For some reason somebody in Japan had the brilliant idea to make a game system dedicated soley to board games. Thus in 1983 somebody wasted thier life savings and the My Vision was born.

This oddity has no controllers, all the games are controlled via that wierd horizontal 14 button keyboard on the front. Games came with overlays to tell what the keys did. All the games were based on Japanese Board games, and at least six were released, Go, Hanafuda, Reversi, Mastermind, Shimeshougi, and Mahjong.

As expected this thing disappeared shortly after the Famicom took over the gaming world, and true to the videogame console irony clause of the universe is impossible to find today
