TechEruo System

TechEruo System (TES) is a video format that runs from 1990-present, making it the longest running video format. Unlike most video formats TechEruo System is a hybrid format of a videocassette and a video game cartridge. It was released in November 1, 1990 in Eruowood and November 11, 1990 in the US, in PAL regions, it was released Boxing Day 1990 and in Japan, it was released Lunar New Years 1991.

Development
In 1989, TechEruo's Maintenance Manual VHS tape got ripped in half, so they wanted a more durable, high-quality alternative, they turned to Nintendo, who declined, then to SEGA, who agreed to produce chips for the system, the audio is done via a CD chip inside the TES cart.

In 1991, the TES 2 format was introduced.

In 1992, the TES Portable was introduced.

In 2006, VHSs were discontinued, so all TES systems replaced their analog renderer with a digital renderer.
