Changes

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 emulatedor preserved, though some that aren't have simulations instead. See also [[Strange and Forgotten Console emulators]], a similar page for 90s and 2000s.
