The TV Vader (stylized as EPOCH TV VADER, also known as Epoch TV-Vader)[1] is a dedicated first-generation home video game console that was released by Epoch Co. in 1980 only in Japan for 15,000[1] or 16,500[2] Japanese yen. It is the successor of the Cassette TV Game and the predecessor of the Cassette Vision. Due to the integrated NEC D774C chipset, only a colored clone of the 1978 game Space Invaders is playable with the system. A year later, the game was ported for the Cassette Vision under the name Battle Vader.[1]
