Tottoko Hamutaro TV-PC (とっとこハム太郎 テレビパソコン) is a plug and play game console released in 2003 by Epoch.
Overview[]
The TV-PC is shaped like a laptop, featuring a keyboard, mouse, and two directional pads; the keyboard is in both English and Japanese. It mainly features educational software, alongside a piano program, coloring pages, and a handful of mini-games. It also has a message board, designed to visually resemble an e-mail service (though there is no actual Internet connectivity). The message board was the most prominently advertised feature, possibly an attempt to make it more appealing to an older audience. There are 86 programs total, though some appear to just be minor variants of each other.
The Hamtaro episode The Mysterious Gift (#180) is effectively a blatant advertisement for the TV-PC. In the episode, Kana receives the TV-PC for Christmas. Boss knocks one of the batteries out of the compartment, leading Kana to believe it broke; the Ham-Hams put a battery back in to fix it, and Oxnard leaves Kana a poorly-written letter on the message board. The design of the system is nearly identical to the real thing, save for lacking Hamtaro branding.
