	Games - Watara Supervision

The Watara Supervision was a monochrome handheld game console which was introduced in 1992 as a cut-price competitor for the Nintendo Game Boy. It came packaged with a game called Crystball.

The console had a slightly larger screen and larger buttons, and its games sold for far less than the Game Boy's. The games were not of high quality, and the console did not sell well. The original design for the console changed significantly through several iterations, and the last Supervisions were sold in 1996.

The Supervision was marketed by several different companies around the world and under several different names, including Quickshot Supervision and Hartung SV-100.
