Terebikko
The Terebikko (Japanese: てれびっこ) is a VHS console game system by Bandai, released in 1988.[1] It is officially known as a "Video Communication System". It is shaped like a toy phone with four coloured buttons 1 through 4 (in red, blue, green, yellow) and was targeted towards young children.
In 1989, Mattel rebranded it for the United States as the See 'n Say Video Phone based on their 1964 educational toy See 'n Say. Unlike the original Terebiko, the See 'n Say Video Phone games didn't have the existing powerful character licenses like Hello Kitty and Mario attached to its releases and mixed puppetry with animation without licensed characters. The puppetry involved a main character called Saymour[2] from the See 'N Say Phone Center and his friends such as computers Tululu and Tidas, as well as Bee, The Farmer, and Mother Goose.[3]
There is also a variation of the Terebikko called the Terebikko Cordless (Japanese: てれびっこコードレス) (copyright 1994).[4]

Gameplay
Players connect the Terebikko to the TV's audio output jack. While watching the video, the player is called by a character on the screen and has to answer a question with the telephone. The Terebikko can then use signals from the video for interaction if the answer was a good or bad choice.
