The Insane Console History Video

Tuesday, February 09, 2010

I have no doubt at all -- more video game consoles exist than you will likely ever have space for in your house. If you've ever wanted to glance at nearly every console in existence -- including a few you'll only find at questionable resale shops -- then this 22 minute epic is for you [via Elder Geek]:

While extensive, this video is not entirely complete. I'll not tease you with specifics, since it's more fun if you can figure out what's missing from this extremely well-researched project. Also, pay special attention to just how many home entertainment systems were released in 1977. Imagine trying to collect just the consoles from that year....

No. That's crazy talk.

They missed a lot of Tiger Electronic games. Like that one that you wrap around your head and it has a little eye piece. I can't remember its name. Otherwise, amazing video.
