   What? No Kempston Competition Pro 5000 (admittedly not a console) …

   Adding to the mix NES, Master Systerm, Neo Geo, Megadrive, Gamecube

   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.

    @Andrew-David: Wow, pretty close! You missed the Odyssey2 and Atari 7800 (not 7200). Otherwise, boom :)
