The SHG Black Point FS 1003/FS 2000 (also known as S.H.G. Black Point FS 1003/FS 2000,[1] commonly abbreviated as Black Point FS 1003/FS 2000, stylized in lowercase in its logo[2]) is a first-generation PC-50x home video game console that was released in 1982 by Süddeutsche Elektro-Hausgeräte GmbH & Co. KG (SHG for short) only in Germany for 168 Deutsche Mark (DM).[3][1] The console has been manufactured (look at the photo below) by Radofin (Hong Kong).

The system comes with two detachable game controllers with one analog joystick and one fire button each.[1][4] On the console, there are 10 buttons to select the games which came on cartridges.[1] There is also a difficulty switch, an on/off switch and a start button on the housing of the console.[1] There are two models of the console: The FS-1003 and the FS-2000.[1][4] Both models have the name SHG Black Point.[1]

It is the successor of the SHG Black Point Multicolor FS 1001, released in 1977[5] and SHG Black Point 10 Tele Sports FS 1002.
