Tier 5: Every Video Game Console Ever Made!

Welcome to IcebergDocs, where we take a deep dive into a variety of subject from top to bottom. In this episode we will explore Tier 5 of the Complete Video Game Console iceberg. The consoles we will discuss today are...br br ▪️ Fairchild Channel Fbr Released in 1976, and widely considered to be the first true home video game console., it was the first system to use ROM cartridges instead of built in games.br br ▪️ Atari XEGSbr The home video game console version of Atari's 8 bit computers. Released in 1987, the XEGS was compatible with all Atari computer peripherals including keyboards, mice and printers.br br ▪️ Philips CD-ibr Released in 1990, the CD-i is the first true home multimedia device, capable of not only playing video games, but also playing movies, videos, 3d virtual tours, and connecting to the internet.br br ▪️ Commodore CDTVbr Released in 1991, the CDTV was Commodore's answer to the Philips Cd-i. It was a multimedia device designed to be a replacement for the home computer.br br ▪️ Pioneer LaserActivebr The LaserActive was released to compete with the CDTV and CD-i. in 1993. This amazing multimedia device could not only play LaserDiscs and other video media, if you installed certain ad-ons called PACs, it could play SEGA Genesis cartridge games, SEGA CD games, TurboGrafx 16 games as well as TurboGrafx CD disc games.br br ▪️ NEC TurboDuobr Released in 1991, the TurboDuo was a newer model of the TurboGrafx 16 that also integrated the Turbo CD ad-on into one single console. It did fairly well in Japan, but failed to take off in the U.S.br br ▪️ SEGA Picobr The Pico was released in 1993 and had the same hard ware as the Genesis. It was marketed to young children as a learning and gaming device.br br ▪️ Bandai Playdiabr The Playdia was similar to the Pico in that it was marketed to children, but was more of a multimedia device as it also played video along with games.br br ▪️ Casio Loopybr The Loopy was the first and only video game console designed and marketed exclusively for girl gamers. It also had a built in thermal printer to make stickers.br br This iceberg was put together by myself, Thomas.
