    Uploaded by

    David Washington
    The document outlines the history of video game consoles from 1970 to 2020. It divides the history into 8 generations, with the first generation starting in the early 1970s with consoles like the Magnavox Odyssey and Atari Pong machines. Subsequent generations saw the rise of cartridge-based home consoles from Atari and Nintendo as well as the first handheld and 16-bit systems. Later generations covered the 32-bit era, introduction of CD-ROMs and DVDs, and the modern consoles of the 21st century from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.
