- Darthyoshiboy, on 10/19/2007, -2/+35What in the hell? the "Nintendo Revolution" (Just a bit dated here)? Complete lack of the CDI, the TurboGraphix, 3DO, and I'm sure countless others if you're going to include the "Atari Flashback". Take this with a grain of salt.
- Camphlobactor, on 10/18/2007, -1/+28Direct link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2tBP9mm218&eurl=
- inactive, on 10/21/2007, -0/+25Fail for incomplete research. Intellivision and Colecovision are missing. Also, Atari400 was not a video game console.
F-
See me after class. - MackPrime, on 10/18/2007, -1/+20What's the point of a video if its' just a slew of images. I'd rather be able to scroll than hear neckbeard symphonies.
- johnkyoungoh, on 10/18/2007, -1/+17In the trash.
- TridenTBoy, on 10/18/2007, -3/+18Ok?
- Deomonte21, on 10/18/2007, -4/+14Tons of systems. Very complete list. There were only a few I owned in the past I didn't see on there
Atari 800- This may have been considered more of a personal computer though
Sega CD
Sega 32x - Kyle0wnsyou, on 10/17/2007, -4/+13The Angry Videogame Nerd's version is waaaay better. (NSFW language)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=chE1CBJinSM - Julz, on 10/18/2007, -0/+8I was waiting for the DS Lite to show up, but it didn't... :(
- wattznext, on 10/18/2007, -1/+9RTFA
- waterdrop, on 10/18/2007, -0/+8Uh since when did the Sega Saturn come out after the Sony Playstation?
This ain't much of a timeline. - joshtj, on 10/19/2007, -0/+7Wikipedia 'video game consoles'.
Google image search (console name) .
Open Windows Movie Maker.
Add annoyingly long introduction text to each console.
Add game-related mp3.
Voila! - DaveMode, on 10/18/2007, -0/+6Biggest omissions I noticed were:
- Collecovision
- Turbografix 16
- 3DO - kylebox, on 10/17/2007, -2/+8One Winged Angel = Auto Digg
- tyns, on 10/18/2007, -0/+6Intellivision?
- sambapati87, on 10/17/2007, -0/+6I absolutely cannot stand Microsoft™ Windows™ Movie Maker™ youtube videos.
- bdlang, on 10/18/2007, -0/+5OMG the Sega GameGear! I still think that was the best handheld system I've ever owned.
Couldn't find a 'real' 2600 pic? - oboredone, on 10/18/2007, -5/+10Sephiroth! FF7 had a great soundtrack.
I feel rather dorkish for remembering that.... - AZooYorkMystery, on 10/18/2007, -0/+5I don't need to watch this to realize that it's going to be longer than I have patience for.
Why would you make this video when you could make an actual timeline? - giveer, on 10/19/2007, -0/+5For something called a "timeline" - there sure seems to be an extreme lack of... y'know... dates and umm, well, Times.
- Vulphaestion, on 10/20/2007, -1/+6You probably saw HDD, which is the hard drive.
- Penmaton, on 10/19/2007, -0/+5Its missing other consoles yet added some I have never seen before. I was expecting more of a real Time line, not just pictures of consoles... Not worth a digg...
- DrGamez, on 10/19/2007, -0/+4buried for the same reason!
- KMye, on 10/18/2007, -0/+4No TurboGrafix or TurboExpress either...
- inactive, on 10/18/2007, -0/+4if they did that we would be able to tell that they had the order of some mixed up
- noahtron, on 10/23/2007, -0/+4its cool - that was my first thought too!
- Kronos6948, on 10/18/2007, -0/+4Allow me to add Vectrex and 3DO to that list.
- XBSHX, on 10/17/2007, -3/+6and your point being?
- Synthesize, on 10/17/2007, -1/+4Dugg for the FFVII music.
- werther138, on 10/18/2007, -0/+3I had the Coleco Vision with the Atari add on. Though there was a Coleco on the list it was not the one I had.
- Cerberus047, on 10/18/2007, -0/+3Also missing Phillips CD-i
- ReRush, on 10/18/2007, -0/+3What about the Intellivision? Or dare I say... the Ngage?
- Julz, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3umm that "annoying music" from this video is from one of the greatest games of all time... Final Fantasy VII
- chilekillr, on 10/17/2007, -4/+7Can I have them?
- DaleoftheUK, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Where the Amiga's!? They were in there with the other systems for gaming.
Still good work on getting the console he/she (likely he) did, unless they just went onto wikipedia and basically had the list there under "games consoles". - Corbomight, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Very...incomplete list. It has about half of what there really is. And why did the Saturn have an unofficial controller? And why show the Master System 2, which didn't see much production outside of Brazil, instead of the original (very wide) Master System?
- BestJaxx, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Did anyone know what the ***** the playstationx or whatever it was actually is?
- hessamz, on 10/18/2007, -0/+2Yea Turbografix 16! Brings back memories... great console until it died.
- merbot, on 10/17/2007, -3/+5where the hell is the NGage
- DrGamez, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Why the ***** doesn't it have any information? Just has ***** pictures and ***** music.
- SunDestroyer, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Adding the dates of release along with the names would have been nice.
Dugg regardless. - Godlike, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2CD and 32x were addons for the genesis
- Getintothegame, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Wait, wasn't that Carmina Burana and Final Fantasy combined?
- monkeytom888, on 10/18/2007, -0/+2mega CD, DS Lite, PSP Slim
Anyone else?
I grew up with the C64 and Spectrum, I know they were not consoles as such, but their main use were games :o) - astrosmash, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1The three heavyweights of the 1st-gen consoles were Atari 2600, Intellivision, and Colecovision. They missed the last two completely, and showed the wrong picture of the 2600.
- frostieDude, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1Not to mention Home Pong!!!
Also, Fairchild Channel F which was the first cartridge system. Vectrex is missing.
There are several others missing and some of the stuff that is thrown in there is really rehashed versions of other consoles like the PSOne and the slimline PS2.
Also, some of it is out of order, and the 2600 they showed was a very late model. Most people remember the wood grained model and also it was originally called the VCS, not the 2600. They didn't come up with 2600 until the 5200 shipped and I don't remember many people in the 80s ever referring to it as the 2600, only as the VCS. I didn't commonly hear people say 2600 until the 90s. - archer104, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1another console wars video, but not funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3XdWVHn_9I - gavintlgold, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Hey, can someone tell me how to remove the white border from youtube embedded videos? this one doesn't have one... Thanks. (no need to be non-technical)
Edit: found it.
Add: param name="wmode" value="transparent" (with the slanty brackets) ... Good to know. - astrosmash, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1Between my friend and me we had the Coleco Adam Computer expansion module, Roller Controller, Turbo steering wheel, Rocky Sports controller and Atari module. And together we ruled the neighborhood.
- Section1, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1Nobody knows what I am talking about when I say I had this. Finally I know I didn't imagine it!
