Whenever I start playing a few games on my Xbox 360 console, I could not help but wonder how it all came to be. My parents always tell me that video games weren't exactly popular a long time ago which was considered a concept of the future. With this in mind, I began to recall my early childhood memories with regards to game titles. And also, since I did not have anything best to do today, I made a decision to complete some research about the complete history of gaming consoles. I'm happy to report, I noticed the initial console I had when I had been a kid wasn't exactly the "first game console". I'd this notion that my old console was the initial produced, and so i guess it was indeed well worth the time researching about video game consoles. In any case, let's start our blast from the past when i take you back from the humble beginnings of our beloved video game consoles. The idea of playing games while watching television was considered absurd and a thing for the future. All aside from one Ralph Baer who conceived one absurd idea; the opportunity to interact with your television, which includes doing offers on it. This was in 1951 while building tv sets for Loral in Bronx, New York. In 1966, he successfully created a game called "Chase" where two dots chased each other around the screen. He showed the idea to his new boss, R&D owner Herbert Campman, he was handed some funding and the project was taken by the company as an official one. A few years later, Ralph Baer successfully made the "Brown Box", which is regarded as the great grandfather of gaming consoles A couple of years later, Magnavox decided to invest on video games and made the very first video game console called the Magnavox Oddysey. It had been indeed an innovation as it was the very first video game that may be connected to a tv set. It had been even the first with regards to console peripherals as you can buy a light gun that you could connect with the console when playing shooting games. In 1975, Atari created its own gaming console along with Pong, a game that would remain a popular concept until now. The console doesn't have any controllers though; actually, the console looks like a controller itself, so you could possibly say that's the grandfather of handheld television games. Then, the Atari 2600 came. Released in 1977, it would become so popular it's the only console asides from Magnavox to outlive the very first gaming console crash of 1977. Both companies continued to create games for his or her respective game consoles until the second game console crash of 1983. Atari and Magnavox experienced having a lot of badly developed games, which explains why Nintendo became a very popular gaming brand within this era. It had been within this year where the Nintendo Entertainment System was created and released. In Japan, it was called "Famicom" while in The united states, it had been either called "NES" or just plain "Nintendo". This was my very first video game console so that as far when i can remember, I played tons of games with this console. Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda, Contra, Megaman, and a couple of other games filled my cabinet rather than Barbie items along with other girly stuff. Nintendo's success continued until Sega rose up to challenge their game console using the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis console. Released in Japan in 1988, the Sega console became popular using the titular video game character and Sega mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. In fact, the only real reason why I begged my parents to obtain us a Sega Mega Drive was since i desired to play Sonic the Hedgehog! Nintendo sensed that Sega was indeed getting popular, so two years following the discharge of the Sega Mega Drive, Nintendo released the Super Nintendo Enterntainment System or SNES. The SNES seemed to be popular amongst children at that time. Actually, most of my friends get confused as to what console they'd want to buy for Christmas! Then in 1995, the era of 16 bit and 32 bit games were now overshadowed by the Sony Playstation. The recording gaming console sported better graphics, better hardware and software support, a new set of handy controllers and also the Memory Card, a tool that lets gamers store their saved games. It had been revolutionary indeed, because it no longer uses cartridges, but disc drives instead. Sega and Nintendo both answered using the Sega Saturn and the Nintendo 64, but when it comes to the 5th generation of video game consoles, the Sony Playstation may be the king. the news Years p**ed by 1999, the PC's were now engineered towards gaming as well. Sega released the Sega Dreamcast in 1999, but was poorly received and finally discontinued in 2001 because they tried implementing a type of disc drive known as the GD-Rom. It was a proceed to prevent software piracy, but rather it resulted in poor sales. Nintendo Gamecube suffered the same fate if this released the Gamecube; the console only plays 8 mm disc drives and was discontinued in 2007. Sony, on the other hand, experienced a millionaire using the Playstation 2 while Microsoft released the Xbox in 2001.
