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 all-lowercase in its logo[2]) is a first-generation PC-50x home video game console released in 1982 by Süddeutsche Elektro-Hausgeräte GmbH & Co. KG (SHG) only in Germany for 168 Deutsche Mark (DM).[3][1] The console has been manufactured by Radofin (Hong Kong).[citation needed]

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.
