Background

The Video Challenger was a home video game console that was produced by Takara in 1987. It used VHS tapes as the game medium (one of a few consoles during the era to do so, others including Worlds of Wonder's Action Max, introduced in the same year as the Video Challenger, and the View-Master Interactive Vision), utilizing special VHS tape-based footage that allows players to shoot targets with a ray gun, making it similar to the Action Max.

Logo (1987)

Visuals: On a black and blue gradient background, a orange orb-like thing floats downwards to the middle of the screen. Some cyan lasers shoot the orb, breaking it into orange shards. The shards then form the silver text "VIDEO CHALLENGER" in a fast font. The "N" in "CHALLENGER" flips, turning into an abstract lightning bolt. The logo then shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A catchy, fast-paced tune along with laser sound effects and an orchestral hit sound when the orb breaks.

Availability: It can be seen when one starts up the console.
