Console Gaming in a Nutshell

Neat little timeline of the history of video games. A few glaring omissions include Intellivision (my first personal gaming system), Commodore 64 (a competitor in the cartridge gaming market), and Turbo Graphx 16 (the red-headed stepchild of the Super Nintendo). Also, the Super Nintendo pictured in the piece looks to me like a model of the Super Famicom, the Japanese counterpart.

    i had a commodore 64. it was awesome. my favorite games were pitfall and dr. j vs. larry bird. i actually still have it in my basement storage (and my 5 inch floppy disks) but it sadly no longer functions.
