Video Game History

  • Sega Master System

    Sega Master System
    So back in the 80s, Sega was trying to bring their arcade skills to the home console game. They tried a few times, but the Master System was the one that really took off. It was even better than the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) with more power and better colors. The Master System had some pretty good arcade games, but what really stood out were the platformers like Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Wonder Boy, Psycho Fox, and a super cool version of Sonic the Hedgehog.

    Did you know that Sega's 32-bit machine hit Japanese shelves two weeks before PlayStation? The system's internal architecture was a bit tricky to work with, as it was based on Sega's arcade machine technology and required some serious assembly language skills. But despite the challenges, Sega's studios managed to create some amazing games like Virtua Fighter, Nights into Dreams, and Sega Rally. And let's not forget about all the awesome 2D shooters and fighting games.

    In '93, Sony couldn't break into the console biz with Sega and Nintendo, so Ken Kutaragi said, "Screw it, let's make our own." He made a powerful yet easy-to-use system that focused on 3D graphics. Sony bought UK studio Psygnosis and made a deal with Namco to make up for their lack of experience. The console ruled the '90s with games like Tekken, Gran Turismo, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. It changed everything.

    So, the N64 was made with Silicon Graphics Inc and was called Project Reality (not a big head name at all). It was weird because it used cartridges instead of CDs, but it had a cool joystick that let you move in 3D. That's how we got Super Mario 64, the best game ever. But there were other great games too, like GoldenEye, Banjo-Kazooie, Wave Race 64, and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

    Nintendo GameCube
    Hey there! When the PS2 and Xbox were all about muscle and tech, the GameCube stood out with its cute Lego-like design and affordable price. Sure, its IBM PowerPC processor wasn't as powerful as Microsoft's, but Nintendo wanted a console that was fun and easy to develop for. Games like Metroid Prime, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, and Super Mario Sunshine were just as good as anything on those other machines.

    Back in 2000, Bill Gates himself gave Xbox a hard time at the Game Developers’ Conference. But the team behind Direct X (Microsoft’s middleware for PC game developers) had a plan: they wanted to sneak their products into people's living rooms. Xbox has over 600 games, including the legendary Halo, Ninja Gaiden, Psychonauts, and Knights of the Old Republic. Xbox was also ahead of its time with online play, thanks to its ethernet port and Xbox Live infrastructure.

    PlayStation 3
    Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks during its development, the PS3 proved to be a daunting but ultimately rewarding project. While its online multiplayer service was not as advanced as that of the Xbox 360, the console's unique architecture allowed for the creation of stunning cinematic gaming experiences like Uncharted 2, God of War III, Demon's Souls, Heavy Rain, and Journey.

    Nintendo Wii
    Back in 2005, lots of people in the gaming world thought the Wii was rubbish. They said it was just two Game Cubes stuck together. But they didn't know about the cool controller that let you move around and play easy games like Wii Sports, Wii Play and Wii Fit. Families loved it and Nintendo sold over 100 million units. It was a win for simple design over fancy tech.

    So, the PS4 and Xbox One came out at the same time, but Sony focused on games and totally crushed Microsoft in the media. The PS4 has a sick controller, way better online stuff, and lets you share and stream like a boss. But the real magic is in the games - Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War, Bloodborne, Death Stranding - they're all next-level storytelling.

    The Xbox One is like a fancy computer in a box, not your typical console. It's got lots of cool stuff like AMD processors, HDR (and 4K video) compatibility, cloud storage, game streaming, and tons of other multimedia options. And just when it was getting old, they came out with the S and X versions that made it even better. Plus, it's got awesome games like Witcher 3, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Fallout 4, Forza Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves, Halo 5, and Ori and the Blind Forest.
