I quit counting, I can name a lot. Down to weird things like the Nuon, which was packaged into a DVD player. And I don't even know what counts. Odyssey is considered the first console, yet it had no sound and no graphics. It just kinda lit up a square on the screen. How is that even a video game? There are the plug-and-play consoles. You can get them now at the dollar store. Just a five dollar piece of plastic with shite on it, there are endless number of those. What about like TV Teddy - a Teddy Ruxpin that was interactive with the tv - does that count as a video game console?

Yes, it is 32 minutes, but it is worth the Tim if you consider yourself a knowledgeable gamer! I have owned 10 systems over the years. I had 6 systems set up in my room during 8-10 grade; my friends called my room THE ARCADE! LOL

After watching the video, I was surprised how many systems I had never heard of!

Bonk games are the most underrated platformers of all time. They should be up there with mario, sonic, mega man, etc
