This has sparked my interest. Now really want to launch a blog about the history of video game consoles; focusing on the design & technical aspects.
Reading about the Magnavox Odyssey now and it is fucking fascinating. The early gaming consoles used removable PCBs for cartridges. Cool stuff.
As always, so many things to learn and so little time.
