EVR-based arcade hardware by Nintendo used the Intel 8080 processor for Nintendo arcade games that output video pre-recorded on an EVR (Electronic Video Recording) film reel onto a CRT (cathode ray tube) television set..
The EVR-based arcade games by Nintendo were released in 1975.
Video output
EVR Race, which output either a pre-recorded horse or automobile race, and EVR Baseball would play on a television set, and the object was to bet on the race. The person who bet on the correct outcome would win.
As this was the first game by Nintendo that output pre-recorded video onto a television set, as opposed to the earlier Simulation System arcade games that output projected video onto a backdrop, EVR Race is often considered as its first true video game.
