Kakushin VGC-1

The VGC-1 (short for "Vector graphics Gaming Computer-1") is a fanonical 1980s-era video game console. Created by Kakushin Gaming, it was Japan's answer to the Vectrex.

Console
The VGC-1 is a tabletop gaming console with a built-in vector display CRT monitor measuring 12" x 12" compared to the Vectrex's 9" x 11" monitor. Its specifications are about on-par with the Vectrex, but with slightly faster processing speed and a tiny bit more ROM and RAM. In addition to a cartridge slot and a set of four controller ports, it also features an expansion port for a variety of peripherals.

Controller: VGJ-3
The VGJ-3 is the VGC-1's standard game controller, and the system comes packaged with one. It is an analog joystick controller with three action buttons, and is distinguished by a squarish joystick knob with rounded corners, similar to the Sega Master System Control Stick. It is designed to be set and used on a flat surface, considering that the VGC-1 is a tabletop system. It also has grippy rubber feet on the underside of its base.

V-Cassette
The VGC-1 uses ROM cartridges referred to as "V-Cassettes". They have a capacity of 32 KB, like with the Vectrex's cartridges. Some V-Cassettes have larger capacities than the standard cartridges for specific software titles that require the use of the VGMM-16 memory module.
