Spectravideo Software
Spectravideo used
both cassettes and cartridges for their games.
Their selection of titles wasn't any good compared to Commodore 64, Atari,
Apple and others.
The first year, only a handfull of various games and other programs was
available.
Spectravideo didn't have any support from the large software houses
producing games for all their competitors.
The software situation got better after a couple of years, but it was
really to little to late.
There's a complete list over the software packages available
on this page.

Various media.

Some of the early software titles for
Spectravideo.
Spectravideo emulator for PC
There's at least two
emulators available, the best one is
BlueMSX
BlueMSX
can emulate the SV-318, SV-328, SV-328 w/80-column, SV-328MKII and of
course different MSX computers.
Make sure you use CLOAD + RUN or BLOAD "CAS:",R
depending on the program you want to load.
Under FILE->CASSETTE check the "Rewind after Insert". That should
get rid of the Device I/O error some might experience.
Here's a couple of screenshots from BlueMSX:
