  • History

    The first electronic gaming consoles were developed in the 1950s, but the idea was initially believed to be unappealing. Two decades later, early models such as the Magnavox Odyssey, began to appear, with limited graphics and features. The technology has continued to evolve throughout the years, with upgrades in graphics, controllers, and the format of the games themselves.
