It was known as “The Brown Box.” Baer, who’s sometimes referred to as Father of Video Games, licensed his device to Magnavox, which sold the system to consumers as the Odyssey, t...
In 1983, the North American video game industry experienced a major “crash” due to a number of factors, including an oversaturated game console market, competition from computer gaming, and a surplus of over-hyped, low-quality games, such as the infamous E.T., an Atari game based on the eponymous movie and often considered the worst game ever creat...
Also in 1989, Sega released its 16-bit Genesis console in North America as a successor to its 1986 Sega Master System, which failed to adequately compete against the NES. With its technological superiority to the NES, clever marketing, and the 1991 release of the Sonic the Hedgehoggame, the Genesis made significant headway against its older rival. ...
With a leap in computer technology, the fifth generation of video games ushered in the three-dimensional era of gaming. In 1995, Sega released in North America its Saturn system, the first 32-bit console that played games on CDs rather than cartridges, five months ahead of schedule. This move was to beat Sony’s first foray into video games, the Pla...

Though the Playstation 3—the only system at the time to play Blu-rays—was successful in its own right, Sony, for the first time, faced stiff competition from its rivals. The Xbox 360, which had similar graphics capab...

- Um fenômeno quase recém-nascido. Falar sobre a historiografia dos videogames é ousadia porque hoje existem poucas convenções sobre como separar cada uma das diferentes épocas.
- Primeira geração (1972-1983) Esses primeiros consoles foram o produto de pesquisa e desenvolvimento que ocorreram na década de 1960 e até na década de 1950, quando alguns avançados em seu tempo conseguiram criar sistemas interativos em televisores que foram o embrião do que mais tarde conheceríamos como Pong .
- Segunda geração (1978-1992) Vídeo os jogos dão um salto de qualidade e chegam máquinas que, poupando as distâncias, marcam o início de uma forma de construir consolas em torno de componentes que todos conhecemos.
- Terceira geração (1983-2003) É possível que uma geração de consoles tenha durado duas décadas? Bem, há uma explicação para isso, e é isso não foi até setembro de 2003 que Nintendo oficialmente parou de fabricar o NES no Japão.
