    The First Fully Functioning Video Game

    This was one of the first functioning games ever. The company who created this was Magnavox. The maker of the game was Ralph H. Baer and his team. But the people of the company who helped produce the game are Peter L. Jenson and Edwin Pridham. The game was the first at home games ever and that's pretty impressive.
  • Pong

    Pong

    This was the second ever game to be released. This game was for everyone's at home television sets. Atari was the developer of Pong. I played a similar version of this game once I think it is very fun when you have someone to play with.
  • Intellivision

    Intellivision

    This game was also a at home game. The Mattel Electronics produced this game. This game works by just hooking it up to your tv. In my opinion this game is very much weird looking and it just looks confusing.
  • Atari 5200

    Atari 5200

    This game was introduced by Atari,Inc. This game also has a built in Joystick and a compartment to input your games in. I still think that the game is very much ugly, but not that ugly.
  • Atari 7800

    Atari 7800

    The Atari Corporation produced this at home gaming system. I can really say that this isn't half way bad compared to the others. The 7800 did much better than the 2600 and 5200. But I feel like it would be hard for two people to play a game when there's only one controller.
  • Sega Genesis

    Sega Genesis

    This game was produced in Japan I believe. I really like how it was made and I'm glad that the controller doesn't look bad. It looks almost like the new controllers.
  • Super NES

    Super NES

    The home gaming system was developed by Nintendo. First introduced in Japan in 1900 and was released NA in 1991. I really like this one, it seems like this is very portable and lightweight. I would play with one of these if I found out where they have these.
  • NEO GEO

    NEO GEO

    The game system was also made by Nintendo. I like the controller, but it just looks very boxy if that makes since. But I would play this it looks very fun. I wonder how many games came with it or if they had to but it seperately?
  • Playstation

    Playstation

    This game was first released in Japan in 1994 and later released in America in 1995. I really like this one; it doesn't heavy and you don't have to worry about all the extra cords like the newer version's of the game. The game that were popular with console were Twisted Metal and Ridge Racer.
  • Xbox

    Xbox

    Microsoft introduced this game to the 21 century. And I think it took the world by storm. I'm just amazed at how bad it looks(I think its the X on it). The controller is built wrong and the there is way to many buttons on it.
