(MAME has issues with sound emulation that are not present in Potator nor Wataroo. For a quick demonstration, listen to the sampled speech in the intro of Classic Casino.) |

The Watara Supervision, also known as the QuickShot Supervision in the UK, is a monochrome handheld game console which was introduced in 1992 as a low-cost competitor for Nintendo's Game Boy. It came packaged with a game called Crystball, which is similar to Breakout. One unique feature of the Supervision was that it could be linked up to a television via a link cable. Games played in this way would display in four colors, much like Nintendo's Super Game Boy add-on for the SNES. A full color TV link was also in the works, but because of the Supervision's failure to make a major impression among gamers it was cancelled, along with the games which were in development for it. Only a tiny handful of games were developed by third parties and many were developed in Taiwan or Hong Kong.
