A Look Back: The Consoles from the 1980s

June 19, 2008 in Blog comments 4

The article looks at a whole bunch of consoles from the 1980s'. Take your pick in which you like the most but the article has a whole bunch of consoles ranging from the Intellivision to the Coleco ColecoVision then the Coleco Gemini to the last on the list the SuperGrafx.

As the decade turned, the popularity of videogame consoles waned in the face of an oversaturated marketplace. Coupled with horrible third-party releases, the US gaming industry crashed and led to the bankruptcy of many electronics companies. As home computers (PCs) took off, a brave few stepped through the fire and ashes and breathed life into an industry at death's door. Join us as we pay tribute to the consoles that saved our hobby.

    being born in the late 80s, none of these crappy consoles hold any memories or sentimental value to me. therefore i can wholeheartedly say they all suck. =D

    I had the luxury of being born in the 90's, when PSX came out, so I didn't have to play those crappy 80's ones.

    Oh...I miss them so much. It's so funny to look in the past, and see that little games used to entertain me so much...even though they lacked of "this" and "that"...oh
