In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the video game market experienced an explosion of products hoping to capitalize on the success of the Odyssey and Atari. From the nigh-infinite Pong clones, to the suspiciously similar consoles, consumers had far more options than they do today. This is a list of those first and second generation machines. Not all of them can be emulated or preserved, though some that arencan't be emulated have simulations instead. See also [[Strange and Forgotten Console emulators]], a similar page for the 90s and 2000s.

|Like the Vectrex, this console had it's its own screen and operated like a miniature arcade cabinet. Only four games were released for it. [https://archive.org/details/Entex_Adventure_Vision_TOSEC_2012_04_23 TOSEC]

|Only 11 games exist for this console, and none have been dumped because of the cartridge design. Apparently , the BIOS for the console is inside each cart. Latest MAME forum [http://forums.bannister.org//ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=102087&page=4 thread].
