The '''Othello Multivision''' (オセロマルチビジョン) is a licensed [[SG-1000]] clone designed by Sega{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20230720161822/https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20230712065/}} and sold by [[Tsukuda Original]]. It exists because Sega's original intention for the [[SC-3000]] computer was to allow other manufacturers to produce compatible computers in the hope of having a worldwide standard. Unfortunately, possibly with the emergence of the MSX, this tactic failed, and very few SG-1000/SC-3000 compatible machines were produced. The Othello Multivision was one of these machines.

Similar to the SG-1000, there are two versions of the Othello Multivision, named the FG-1000 (released 1983) and FG-2000 (released 1984) respectively. As well as being able to run SG-1000 and SC-3000 cartridges, the Othello Multivision saw a number of games and software released with Othello Multivision branding. The system also came with the game ''[[Othello (Tsukuda Original)|Othello]]'' built-in and both models shipped with an overlay which would explain the functions of each key. 

One of the major problems with the Othello Multivision is that rather than rely on an external game controller for player one, all the controls for that player are built into the unit, while only providing a controller port for the second player. 

The FG-2000 model brought a second controller port for player one. This model can easily be identified by the fact it uses blue keys rather than red ones and the fact the built-in joystick has been replaced with a directional pad. The FG-2000 also came bundled with a rebadged version of the [[SJ-150]] gamepad that debuted with the [[SG-1000 II]]. In addition, the FG-2000 has the SG-1000's expansion port, making it compatible with several SG-1000 add-ons, including the [[SK-1100]] which would enable the [[SC-3000]]'s keyboard functions.
