I can't even count the number of hours I've logged on different consoles since I was a kid... it's in the thousands for sure. From my early years saving the princess and beating Ganon to getting headshots and fragging noobs, as I've grown up, so have the technologies that power the video game experience.

With the changes in technology have come richer visual experiences. Starting with only a few dozen colors in the first systems to millions of colors in our current ones. We're at the end of one generation now... What awesome new ways to play are coming next?
Our current generation of video game consoles (xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3) is the 7th generation, with the first starting in the 1970s. A lot can happen in several generations! If you think about generations in human terms (in the US it's around 25 years) then video games have been around since the early 1800s... and way back then we were just getting some technologies like the automated printing press, the first photo and first telegraph. In a way those early technologies helped us end up with the visual, connected video games we have today.
Let's take a look at the colorful history of video games... ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A select start!

I feel like such a little kid; the oldest console I ever owned was a PS1! It's so cool to hear how the old gameboy screens worked, though. <3

We aren't upgrading any of our systems until our 3yr old is old enough to ask for something like this. We currently own a PS2. hah (that hardly gets played). And the 3yr old plays on the iPad and iPhone anyway.
I remember when SEGA came out... and the character/game, Sonic.... might have that a little wrong, vague memories...
Loved this post. Was really interesting looking at the details like this.
