Century Theoron

TechEruo Century Theoron is the second home video game console in the Century series. It was developed by TechEruo. In North America, it was made in TechEruo's new NOLA-32 office (now known as TechEruo Office 2) it was distributed by Approach Software in the El Kadsreian Islands. It was marketed as a hybrid PC and home video game console. It runs on a specific operating system called Microsoft Windows Theoron.

History
In November 1993, the console was announced at EruoCon for a Christmas 1994 release date, but due to competition and fear of the Sega Saturn and Atari Jaguar, it was rushed for a July 1994 release date, resulting in the console easily wearing out of the littlest of dust, outsourcing the console's OS to Microsoft, and having Toys "R" Us pay half of the console's cost.

Century Theoron was launched in 1994, in Eruowood with the price of $305.00. The console features 3-player controller ports, 32-bit color graphics, and various optional add-ons like a printer, a keyboard, mouse, and a CD-Rom drive.

In 2001, the system now supported Windows XP.

In 2004, it was discontinued after 10 years due to it's Windows NT/MS-DOS hybrid processor being discontinued.

The peripherals were sold separately from the consoles.

Reception
It got great reception among the growing "EruoNerd" fanbase, but for consumers, it gained a "decent" reception. The price was kinda high and the console wears out easily from only a few specs of dust.

Trivia

 * The Century Theoron consoles were modified from the consoles.
 * This was the first home console to have an analog stick (joystick) in a addition to the d-pad on the controller.
 * The Century Theoron consoles were known to wear out easily from only a few specs of dust making the consoles kind of high maintenance.
 * The CD-Rom add-on can operate CD-Rom based software from Windows 95 to XP. Windows Vista software got patched out, even though it can be operated via hacking, Windows 8.1 and onward software is entirely incompatible without an emulator or mods.
 * Very few Century Theoron specific programs required the CD-Rom add-on.
 * Toys "R" Us was a heavy sponsor of the console until 1996. Therefore the Century Theoron was originally a Toys "R" Us exclusive until 1996 when it started being sold in other retailers, starting with select Blockbuster Video and Sears stores.
 * Most Atari Jaguar games that were released have been ported to the Century Theoron.
 * This was the first TechEruo console to have SEGA games, due to SEGA's dwindling sales on their own hardware.
 * The Century Theoron had a lot of video game compilations, which would be a semi-common theme through the next few consoles.
