The First Generation of Video Games: Console War 1

[brianerd8D]

Lets get a pong system for the home living room! And another one!And another one!And another one!And another one!And another one!

[ro19911]

awesome video... your stuff is really helping me out for my research project of videogame history... an don't worry I'm going to cite you!

[mysteriousgamer89]

i wasn't alive during this era and thank god i wasn't cus none of the consoles of this era are worth mentioning they all sucked ass btw nice song in the beginning with the final boss battle from dkc1 one of my favorite games straight up

[ashif21]

100 years from now they might talk about the console wars for history in school lol

[gameboy3800]

you're forgetting about ultra pong. a little rare. but its out there.

[newblenderbeer]

You could never get all the consoles on one video. A lot of them were instant fail rejects.

[Iwatchtrek]

I also chose not to include most of the PONG type consoles, because they are all imitations of one another, and most lasted a month on the market, if that. Aka, instant fail rejects as you said.

[Anawnymous]

and what about the nintendo color tv game??? how could you not mention NINTENDO??!?

[enterprise0709]

Becouse nintendo wasn't anything worth waching in this era. All they had whas in Japan onely.

[Iwatchtrek]

This man is correct.

I did not include systems that didn't matter in the few first generation series like I did in the older ones, because, they just didnt matter...

[Anawnymous]

why is sonic music playing when sega isnt involved?

[linkwarior5]

@Anawnymous  who cares i like sonic music XD

[slavko123496]

WTF you miss 3 consoles!!

[Iwatchtrek]

Alright.

[CodzKilla415]

wats the song

[SamPD2]

Sheesh thats primitive. And to think how far we came from that point.

[ReturnOfBGA]

First Generation = Teh Best

Second Generation = Teh Second Best

And I hate all the other generations ;P

[Hman242]

whats the deal with the FF7 music?

[RBio77]

maybe to simulate the consoles that lasted until 2000 or something

[Iwatchtrek]

How am I a nerd with no life if you're the one who took the time to search "Video Games" and then respond with a comment like this?

This is just a history of video games... I'm not even a nerd.

[midiland20]

damn, I bet people there was having a lot of fun playing those things...I wasn't even born there yet....I was born until 2nd generation or 3rd Generation of game consoles (I think) and I own a Family Computer, then Playstation, dreamcast, Xbox, Wii and PS3...( that's pretty much I remember about owning game consoles)...

[killeryoshis]

were did u get this from and isn't the 2600 supposted to be as since it was realeased in 1977 the end of the first gen or just give it a camera apperance.

[Vendetta0000]

[BlamsyVideos]

[Iwatchtrek]

Donkey Kong Country 2 - The Pirate Ship

[Iwatchtrek]

[1chick54]

i always thought the atari was the first

[1chick54]

lol

[Spit0Fir3]

i lvoe the donkey kong music....reettrrrooooo

[BURPGA3]

This is the best generation :D

2nd generation: Bar Code Number Controller Consoles, It was a fad back then....

3rd generation: The NES, Master System, and 7800 all had a flaw about them.

4th Generation: Turbografx 16 sucked, SNES and Genesis had flaws like their fathers.

5th Generation: The Worst Generation, Everything sucked.

6th Generation: Had Playstation 2 and Xbox

7th Generation: Really bad but not as bad as the 5th

This is just my opinion, so don't threat me.

[AkibaMCRGrenias]

hahahahaha Well As you said.. It's just Your Opinion.. but I realy think that U're wrong (again in my opinion) in the 5th and 7th.. I mean.. Play station.. N64.. they still alive and in time they were very good!! and the 7th.. comeeoon!! the nintendo wii, PS3 and XBOx 360 is the best thing ever!! (Obviously at this moment 'cause soon or later is gonna be better than this).. but well Y REALLY THINK THE SAME ABOUT THE FIRST ONE!!! LONG LIVE THE OLD SCHOOL!! i don't even imagine a life without VG!!

[freddy444100]

1st: video games i guess were ok for their time

2nd: atari 2600 rocked

3nd: the nes was great

4rd: genesis and snes were amazing

5th: rocked n64 and psone and even the dreamcast was great

6th: ps2 and xbox rule

7th: wii and xbox360 were amazing

my top 3 genesrations are 3: 5th 2: 4th 1. 7th

[reqwezx]

Thanks for information about 1generation :).

[Ogsonofgroo]

Thanks for the history lesson!

Appreciated! And it was interesting too!

[ArmandoAlcantara]

hahhahahaaha dk2 songs ahhhhh memories

[Nick32388Conte]

wow. THanks for this. Like a little history lesson. Favorited. As well as your future works.

[Iwatchtrek]

Thanks much!

[HappyDude777]

"back in the 70's" (thought I might fix that)

[HappyDude777]

Yeah, I bet. Gaming was very experimental in the 70's back but hey, somebody had to get their feet wet.

[HappyDude777]

The telestar arcade had a very mindblowing and loud design. I didn't even know that they made game systems like that.

[Iwatchtrek]

I hate the telstar. I own a Telstar Alpha, its a piece of junk.

[55tackles]

dude you forgot the atari 2600.

[Iwatchtrek]

Dude, the Atari 2600 wasn't until the Second Generation.

[TigerSamurai]

So who won?

[Iwatchtrek]

They were all struggling, they didn't have very much time to compete, they all technically died out and no one won.
