Spectravideo

Spectravideo was a brand of home computers and peripherals that gained popularity in the early 1980s. The company initially started as a manufacturer of video game consoles and accessories before transitioning to producing home computers. Notable models included the SV-318 and SV-328, which were known for their robust build and compatibility with MSX software, a standardized home computer architecture. Spectravideo computers were particularly popular in Europe and played a significant role in the home computing boom of the 1980s.
