The SHG Black Point FS 1003/FS 2000 (also known as S.H.G. Black Point FS 1003/FS 2000, commonly abbreviated as Black Point FS 1003/FS 2000, stylized in lowercase in its logo[1]) is a first-generation PC-50x home video game console released in 1982 by Süddeutsche Elektro-Hausgeräte GmbH & Co. KG (SHG) only in Germany for 168 Deutsche Mark (DM).[2] [3] The console has been manufactured by Radofin (Hong Kong).
The system comes with two detachable game controllers with one analog joystick and one fire button each.[4] On the console, there are 10 buttons to select the games which came on cartridges. There is also a difficulty switch, an on/off switch and a start button on the housing of the console. There are two models of the console: The FS-1003 and the FS-2000. Both models have the name SHG Black Point.
It is the successor of the SHG Black Point Multicolor FS 1001, released in 1977[5] and SHG Black Point 10 Tele Sports FS 1002.
There are 7 or 8 games officially known to be released for the system which came on cartridges. Like the Palladium Tele-Cassetten Game and many other consoles, the SHG Black Point uses PC-50x cartridges.[8] The games were sold for around 50 to 80 DEM. (About 50 to 75 € in 2020.) The console itself did not contain a CPU or any RAM/ROM, but the cartridges contain one of the first generation console AY-3-8xxx chip. A cartridge with 10 different variations of Pong was included in the scope of delivery.
