(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.) |
m (Actually Wataroo should be above Potator since the latter’s PC version is ancient. There was an SDL backport available on AppVeyor before they decided to set expiration dates for builds that incorporated later developments from the GP2X port iirc) |

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.
