A Magical
INTRODUCTION
This is, by no means, a complete listing of all
the consoles that have come out from the 50’s
until today. The history of console computing
is vast and global, and had I stuck with that,
I would have drowned in research and, most
likely, would still be drawing this zine today. As
it stands, the PS5 isn’t included, and that’s only
because I stopped drawing these before it was
announced.

The consoles in this collection are simply the


ones that I remember, and are the ones that I’m
fond of. Maybe one day I’ll go back into doing
more of them and complete the collection.

One thing that I tried to do, that some people


noted, was to try and match the anime style of
the time to the release of the console. This led to
some fun reading and research, and helped give
a historical context to the systems. Matching art
styles, aesthetics and doing as much as I could
in visualizing a personification of the various sys-
tems. Had I been more thorough, I might have
gone so far as to also try and match up with
local country fashions at the time.

Overall, I’m proud with what I’ve accomplished


with it. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Acknowledgements
This project would have been impossible to
do without my friends egging me on to finish
this, the support of my wife, and friends I made
through twitter. So for everyone out there that
contributed in your own way, I owe you a debt of
thanks.

And if any of this stuff is incorrect, well, blame


the wikipedia.
