Reception
It failed to catch on everywhere outside Eruowood, Japan from the Famicom, Europe from the microcomputers, the US from the NES and El Kadsre from Theorysonic Hyper-System. The system was overpriced in America due to problems with GE and the fact that TechEruo's chips cost a lot to make.

Many people especially Americans thought that the Pal System was an overpriced NES knockoff. This factor almost ruined the TechEruo-Nintendo relationship. TechEruo was really obscure in America until the early 90s with the rise of nerds and the TechEruo System, TechEruo became more popular.
