Because of the relative rarity of the Tomy Tutor system to begin with, cartridge notations (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Extremely Rare, UnReleased) should be considered relative to the Tutor system and not generally common, rare, etc. Also, as my target audience is in the USA, rarity should also be considered relative to America; some of the Japanese cartridges are actually quite common in Japan by comparison.
Screenshots come from various places: preferentially, they were generated in MESS, or by screen grabs from my Pyuuta and Tomy Tutor. A few are box scans or sourced elsewhere that I've been too lazy to redo ... ^_^;; For games I do not own, or were not released, screenshots come from product circulars or catalogues that reference them instead.

Back to General Information | Back to the main page
Name | Type | TP# | Stock# | Description |
Tomy Pyuuta (main unit) | n/a | TP 1000 | ? | The original Japanese version (see the Pyuuta section). |
Grandstand Tutor | n/a | TP 1000? | ? | Placeholder for the original Grandstand Tutor, known only introduced in the UK. |
Tomy Tutor (main unit) | n/a | TP 1000 | 8000 | Main unit (NTSC). PAL units have the same TP#, but don't have a stock#, and are of course rated for 220V 50Hz. They are otherwise functionally identical. |
Pyuuta mk II | n/a | TP 1007 | ? | The Mk II ("Pyuuta Mark 2") is the second version of the Japanese Pyuuta main unit (see the Pyuuta section). |
Pyuuta Carrying Case | Accessory | ? | ? | Optional "hard" plastic carrying case for the Pyuuta and Pyuuta Mk II. This was not sold in the original package. See the Pyuuta Section for a photograph. I don't have a TP# for this; it does not appear on the case or on the documentation sheet. A Pyuuta mk II-era catalogue gives its MSRP as around 6800 yen. |
Joy Controllers (2) | Peripheral | TP 1101 | ? | Japan only. Pair of joy controllers terminating in one joystick plug that plugs into the joyport. Two fire buttons on each; disc controllers (a la Intellivision); included with Pyuuta and Pyuuta Jr (but not the Mk II, which came with TP 1102). Uses weird pinout! |
Joy Controllers (2) | Peripheral | TP 1102 | 8020 | USA-localized disc controller set, which was included with the Anglicized Mk2 but not with the Tomy Tutor! Sheesh, what a bunch of cheapskates! Otherwise identical to TP 1101 except for English labeling. A photograph is on the Photographs page. Uses weird pinout! |
Joy Stick | Peripheral | TP 1103 | 8023 | Single joystick, plugs into 9-pin joyport. Two fire buttons, SL and SR. Requires King Kong tensile strength to move the thing. Note how Tomy calls it two words "Joy Stick" -- this is even on the box -- but the joystick itself has "JOYSTICK." We'll let you know when they come to a decision on this. A photograph is on the Photographs page. Warning: Not TI or Atari compatible! Uses weird pinout! |
Game Adaptor | Peripheral | ? | ? | A passive conversion box for the original Pyuuta to allow the later 3-D Game series to be playable (enables the additional addressing lines). Connects to the I/O port. Not needed for the Jr. or Mk II; it is needed for the Tutor, but none of the 3-D Games were sold in the USA, so the Game Adaptor wasn't sold there either. Yes, the box spells it that way (with an "O"). A Pyuuta mk II-era catalogue gives its price as 2400 yen. My Game Adaptor does not appear to have any TP or stock number on the box or unit, and has a price tag of ¥2160. A photograph is on the Pyuuta page. |
Printer Interface | Peripheral | ? | ? | A printer interface sold specifically for the mk II, most likely the same hardware as the BASIC-1 for the original Pyuuta minus the ROMs. A Pyuuta mk II-era catalogue gives its price as 6800 yen. You can build your own with this schematic but this device probably does work with regular Tutors too. The BASIC-1 cartridge for the Pyuuta fills this niche for that system (below). |
Expansion System | Peripheral | TP 1500 | ? | The Tomy Expansion System is a large chassis extremely similar in appearance to the TI Peripheral Expansion System (a/k/a the "Peripheral Expansion Box" or PEB). Mentioned in both the Purcell Pamphlet and the Tomy Demo Cartridge, although the Cartridge refers to it as the TI Adapter (!!); see the Myth-Marketing-Muddle page for information and a photograph. Vapourware. |
BASIC-1 Cartridge (Pyuuta) (ER) | Expansion | TP 1521 | ? | This unusual device is not actually a regular cartridge; it is an expansion unit that attaches to the I/O port with American ROMs (including BASIC) and a printer interface. The interface uses IEEE-1284 signals but is not Centronics-style and requires a passive adapter. The I/O connection is to map the BASIC ROM in since the Pyuuta CLA can't do that from the cartridge port. An overlay for the keyboard is included. The Mk II has a completely different cartridge (below); this device neither works with the American Tutor nor the mk II. A photograph of the cartridge and the overlay with scans from the manual are on the Pyuuta page. |
BASIC-1 Cartridge (Mk. II) (ER) | Expansion | ? | ? | Unlike the Pyuuta version, the Mk II BASIC-1 cartridge is simply a regular cartridge with the BASIC ROM; the ROM is otherwise identical. However, because it relies on the odd CLA in the mk II, it doesn't work in the Pyuuta. I list it here because of its relationship to the original BASIC-1 and its differences from regular game cartridges, though my BASIC-1 cartridge has no TP# or stock number, so it's unclear how Tomy classified it internally. It originally retailed for around 5800 yen. Credit: ©1984 Tomy. At least one site refers to it as "BASIC-2." A photograph is on the Pyuuta mk II page. |
Floppy Disk Drive | Peripheral | TP 1530 | ? | 5.25" floppy disk drive, presumably connects to the Tutor via the Expansion System. See the Purcell Pamphlet for information and a photograph. Curiously not mentioned explicitly by the Tomy Demo Cartridge, but this could be because the TI PEB (the Expansion System's ancestor) has the floppy drive built-in and Tomy may have originally planned to do the same. Vapourware. A similar device was advertised in both the Pyuuta manual and the Japanese Demo Cartridge. |
Data Recorder (Tomy Tutor) | Peripheral | TP 1540 | 8022 | Cassette recorder modified for the Tutor/Pyuuta using a digital format (see our XTOMYDEV section). Plugs into 5-pin DIN port on unit rear and manually operated. The cable is not available separately, but you can build your own with this schematic. A photograph is on the Photographs page. Oddly, the version in the Purcell Pamphlet is actually the ... |
Data Recorder (Pyuuta) | Peripheral | PR1000? | ? | Cassette recorder for the Pyuuta, actually the venerable Slim-Line National/Panasonic RQ-2739 rebadged for Tomy (makes sense since Matsushita, Panasonic's parent, manufactured the Tutor under contract). Tomy gives it the identifier "PR1000" but it's not clear if this was an official SKU; it was also later sold for the Jr. as well. Apparently the Tutor Data Recorder was not ready at the time the Purcell Pamphlet was printed, so the Pyuuta version stands in for it, and it also appears in the Tomy Tutor's manual which likely was written around the same time. It seems to have little in common with the Tutor Data Recorder and in fact the RQ-2731 was also certified by Tomy as compatible; in the Pyuuta mk II manual the RQ-8200, RQ-8300, Sanyo MR-33DR and Toshiba PA7230 are also advertised as compatible. The Pyuuta Data Recorder allegedly came with a copy of Blackbeard Crisis (see Tape section), though mine seems to have been separated from it. |
Printer | Peripheral | ? | ? | Printer of unknown speed or type; I put it with the other TP 15xx peripherals because its TP# was likely in this range. Mentioned in both the Purcell Pamphlet and the Tomy Demo Cartridge (as L.Printer, presumably meaning Line Printer); see the Myth-Marketing-Muddle page for information and a photograph. Vapourware. May have been a rebadged MCP-40 based on the Pyuuta BASIC-1 manual, which is a printer-plotter combo. |
Voice Synthesizer | Peripheral | ? | ? | Speech synthesis module, probably based on Texas Instruments hardware, which means it was likely an LPC-10 decoder with canned vocabulary. I put it with the other TP 15xx peripherals because its TP# was likely in this range. Mentioned in both the Purcell Pamphlet and the Tomy Demo Cartridge; see the Myth-Marketing-Muddle page for information and a photograph. Vapourware. There was an analogous unit originally advertised in the Japanese Demo Cartridge. |
Display Stand | Accessory | ? | ? | Desk-type stand with a built-in TV shelf. Sold through Tomy and later at fire-sale rates through the Tomy Tutor User Club in the USA. |
Pyuuta Jr. | n/a | TP 2001 | ? | The console version of the Pyuuta (see the Pyuuta section). |
Pyuuta Jr. Data Recorder Interface | Peripheral | TP 2501 | ? | The Jr Data Recorder Interface is required to enable cassette tape loads and saves on the Jr. -- without it, there's nowhere to plug the cassette recorder in. These are quite hard to find, but at least one has been seen in the wild. See the Pyuuta section. |
For the TeamEurope multicarts, scroll to the bottom where they are listed with the other games.
Builder | Name | Type | SKU | Description |
Retropad | Gamepad | Peripheral | ? | NES/Famicom-style gamepads wired for Tutor compatibility. Available as singles (equivalent to the Joy Stick) or doubles (Joy Controllers). Works with all Tutor family machines. |
Parallel Computer, Inc. | Atari-Pyuta Controller Conversion for 2 Players (アタリーぴゅう太コントローラ変換2人用) | Peripheral | ? | Two-player converter for Atari-compatible joysticks and controllers. Single-button controllers only provide SL. Two-button pads such as Sega Master System (Mark III) will also work and provide both SL and SR. Should work with all Tutor family machines. Small production run. A "V1.2" exists with unknown differences. Built 2018. |
Parallel Computer, Inc. | Pyuta Development Cartridge (ぴゅう太開発者カートリッジ) | Peripheral | ? | Development board for testing cartridge ROMs in two versions. The original 1.0 used 8K images from a 64K EPROM and was sold in very small numbers (2016). V1.1, also called the Pyuta Developer 32KB Flash Memory Cartridge V1.1 (ぴゅう太開発者32KBフラッシュメモリカートリッジ), presented a 32K image controlled by jumper. Also sold in very small numbers and requires a Game Adaptor or clone for the Pyuuta and Tutor (2018). A "V1.2" and "V1.3" exist with unknown differences from V1.1. |
Parallel Computer, Inc. | Pyuta 2M MegaROM Cartridge (ぴゅう太2Mメガロムカートリッジ) | Peripheral | ? | 32K ROM cartridge ($4000-$bfff) with 256K of ROM bankswitchable to the upper 16K ($8000). Requires Game Adaptor or clone. Small production run. Built 2018. |
Parallel Computer, Inc. | Pyuta RAM & ROM Cartridge (ぴゅう太RAM&ROMカートリッジ) | Peripheral | ? | RAM expansion for the Pyuuta (unknown if this would work with the Tutor, although it should) with 16K of chip RAM in two 8K segments mapped at $6000 and $c000 (only 8K on Jr, at $6000) and 24K of ROM, mapped at $4000-$5fff and $8000-$bfff. Small production run. A "version 2" exists with unknown differences. Requires a Game Adaptor or clone. The TeamEurope Tutor/Pyuta RAM Cartridge (below) is an evolved version of this design. Built 2018. |
Parallel Computer, Inc. | Pyuta RAM & MEGAROM Cartridge (ぴゅう太RAM&MEGAROMカートリッジ) | Peripheral | ? | The same, but with a bankswitched 256K ROM at $8000-$bfff (still 24K ROM to the Pyuuta, still $4000-$5fff mapped separately). Even smaller production run. Built 2018. |
Parallel Computer, Inc. | Pyuta Imitation Game Adaptor (ぴゅう太似非ゲームアダプタ) | Peripheral | ? | A clone of the Game Adaptor for the "3-D" cartridges. Only advertised as compatible with the Pyuuta, though should work for the Tutor. Small production run. A "V1.1" exists with unknown differences. Built 2018. |
Parallel Computer, Inc. | Pyuta mk2 Version Upgrade Adapter (ぴゅう太mk2バージョンアップアダプタ) | Peripheral | ? | A clone of the Pyuuta BASIC-1 peripheral but only with ROM sockets (no printer interface). If the V2.3 Tomy BIOS (from the mk II and the Tutor) is placed in these sockets, it will upgrade the original Pyuuta to the equivalent of a Mark II system like the BASIC-1. For original Pyuuta only. Small production run. Built 2018. |
TeamEurope | Game Adaptor | Peripheral | ? | Another clone of the Game Adaptor for the "3-D" cartridges, and like it, a passive converter that accepts a cartridge on one end and connects to the I/O port on the other. It is designed to stretch up over the top of the Tutor; you can leave it in place as it does not block the cartridge port when a cartridge is not in it. The Adaptor is not keyed like the original Game Adaptor, so make sure to insert Tomy cartridges correctly with the "arrow" side (front) up and the side with the screw and "TOMY" (back) down. Compatible with all Tomy hardware with an I/O port. Also required for the 3-D multicart and the Pyuta RAM cart (below). Built 2018. |
TeamEurope | Tutor/Pyuta RAM Cartridge | Peripheral | ? |
![]() |
BackBit | BackBit Pro Cartridge | Peripheral | ? | An instant loader cartridge that serves ROMs from an on-board MicroSD card. This device implements its own Game Adaptor and connects directly to the I/O port using a right-angled "Cartridge Adapter" interposer board. You must use the Tutor/Pyuuta-specific Cartridge Adapter. Compatible with all Tomy hardware with an I/O port. |
Both the USA and Japan had respective localized demonstration cartridges for their units, the American unit being descended from the Japanese one. I have the Japanese Demo Cartridge (labeled "Pyuuta Demonstration" ©1983 Tomy) and the American Demo Cartridge (labeled "Tomy Tutor Demonstration Cartridge" ©1983 Tomy) and present a discussion of each on the Japanese Demo Cartridge and Myth-Marketing-Muddle pages respectively. As they were written prior to the machines' retail sale, they are notable for the prototype peripherals they mention which were never released, among other interesting features.
Neither cartridge has a visible TP# or stock# and does not seem to have ever been sold to consumers. My Japanese cartridge came in a pretty little pink box with instructions, but my American cartridge is bare. Both of these cartridges are extremely difficult to find. I have independently confirmed three Japanese cartridges, including my own, but the only American demo cartridge I have ever seen is the one in my personal possession.
Despite being made for the Japanese market, the majority of Japanese domestic cartridges are English-language except where noted, and will play normally on a USA or UK Tutor. Even if they are Japanese-only, the game still plays although screen displays and prompts will appear incorrectly (there are some exceptions; see Mah Jongg, for example).
Certain Japanese cartridges are exactly the same as their overseas and American counterparts, and those Japanese cartridges with the same title are listed under the American domestic (81/8200) series instead since that's where the majority of present-day users will find them (e.g., Traffic Jam). However, Japanese-language or otherwise modified versions of these games, even if game clones, are listed here. Also, the same game sold under a different title in Japan is listed here separately, also.
Some of these cartridges were ported to other computers. Where known, this is discussed below. A few had different announced cartridge numbers and the history of a particular game's number is given where known. With the exception of the Mk II BASIC Cartridge, all of these units sold for 4800 yen list.
All of these cartridges were originally Japanese-language-only as depicted in advertisements and the Pyuuta manual. However, some of these games, such as Saurus Land and Monster Inn, were (also?) made available in English; nevertheless, only Scramble was converted and repackaged for American (USA) sale.
Important note: While the game will play normally, Japanese-language cartridges appear garbled on American Tomy Tutors and the Pyuuta Mk II and Pyuuta Jr. since there are no kana in their system ROMs. You must play them on an original Pyuuta to see the proper characters. If you don't have a Pyuuta, Tomy actually published a reference table of "garbage" to katakana in the Pyuuta Jr.'s manual!

Late in the Tutor (Pyuuta's) life cycle in Japan, there was a release in 1984-5 of several games billed as "three-D", or rittai (strangely, Maze Patrol/Cave Crawlers is not technically a member of this series, which really is 3-D). None of these titles are known to have made it to American or British shores. These were the last cartridges to be made for the Tomy computers in any market, and carried a special "3-D" badge (like the one above, from Baseball).
Unlike travesties such as the Intellivision Super Graphics hogwash (merely clever programming of the same hardware), the Tomy "3-D" cartridges really are internally different and require additional addressing lines due to their larger 32K ROMs; the Pyuuta and American Tutor only offer 14-bit addressing and these require 15-bit. To be played in the American Tutor and the original Japanese Pyuuta, the Game Adaptor (above) is required to enable the extra addressing line. The Pyuuta Jr. does not need the adaptor and neither does the Pyuuta Mark II, but based on chronology the original Grandstand Tutor probably does. The TeamEurope Game Adaptor clone will also work.
Like the other Japanese cartridges, these sold for 4800 yen. It is believed that Gajigoji and Jack In The Box are (supposed to be) "3-D" games too based on their chronology, despite being unreleased.

The interesting thing is that these are universally all GRAPHIC/G-BASIC, allowing people to look at the programs and learn from them or modify them. The TM-xx series have the Mark 2 versions on side A and the original Pyuuta versions on side B; the original tapes and the original Pyuuta G-BASIC versions do not load on an American Tutor or a mk II ("FORM ERR"), and at least the tapes I own say "not for use with Tomy Pyuuta Jr.". Doesn't matter as they were never sold in the USA anyway.
It is not clear to me exactly which titles were released when, or whether some titles were released at all; even in their native country they're quite rare. I own five of these tapes so far and it is likely that the Blackbeard tape exists too as it is copiously documented in Tomy marketing material, and Math Class has also been independently verified. On the other hand, although there are credible screenshots available of many of the TM-xx series (the pictures below are scanned off my Pyuuta mk II box), only TM-02 and TM-03 have been physically confirmed to date. That said, all nine TM-series tapes were published in type-in format in the mk II Original Software Program Collection book (see below), so at least code existed for all of them.

Blackbeard Crisis One-Hair Game (Kurohige Kiki Ichi-Kami Geemu) [A]
Slot Machine [B] |
Game | ? | ? | Side A was apparently packed in with Pyuuta Data Recorders (minus side B), and both games in updated form appear on the second coin-op Pyuuta-kun. The slot machine is straight-forward; the Blackbeard game apparently involves predicting where his sword will point after he hides behind a barrel. A simple party guessing game. |

If you're a Japanese Pyuuta user with an American 8100 or 8200 series cartridge, it will play just fine in your Pyuuta Mark 1, Mk 2 or Jr. (but see the 8300 series if you have one of those).
The American serial numbering system places all the original Tomy games in the 8100 series, while all arcade ports are listed under 8200. As sold originally, these cartridges had an MSRP of $29.95 each (except Deep Six which was only $24.95, and Demon Diggers, Bombardier and Triple Threat were also announced as $24.95 despite being unreleased).

This cartridge line is specific to American audiences and its sole representative is rather hard to come by, so it's a prize for collectors. Note to original Japanese Pyuuta users: "Car-Azy Racer" will appear garbled on Japanese systems because there are no lower-case characters in the system ROMs. It runs normally on the Mark 2. Obviously, because there's no keyboard, it is unplayable on the Jr.
