http://chris.pirillo.com/are-o....ptical-drives-obsole @mattdunner on Twitter asked, "Do you think optical drives will be absent on future game consoles?" <br /><br />Thanks to direct download services, it appears the gaming industry is heading in that direction already. It's possible that the next generation of consoles will be released without optical drives at all, relying on the users broadband connection to download games directly to a drive on the console itself.<br /><br />What do you think? Are optical drives on consoles a thing of the past?<br /><br />http://chris.pirillo.com<br />http://lockergnome.com<br />http://twitter.com/ChrisPirillo

A look at a Vectrex (1982 video game console)
A look at a Vectrex (1982 video game console) Olwin 0 Views • 2 months ago

Do you like straight lines and old arcade games? Then the Vectrex may well be the console for you! Released in 1982, the Vectrex features an intriguing built-in vector monitor (basically a normal CRT monitor with different control circuitry) that left the living room TV free for Dad to watch the first everof Taggart. The display is strictly black and white, but by using the astonishingly MacGyver-esque technique of placing coloured plastic overlays on the screen you can make everything look a bit blue.
<br>
<br>So what games are there? A nifty rip-off of Asteroids called Mine Storm (just dont reach level 13). Theres an overly leisurely version of Berzerk. Then theres Spike, a little star man equipped with River Dance jig and the ability to teleport ladders in his quest to save Molly from the evil Spud. And finally Star Ship. Yes you guessed it, nifty spaceships with magic hypnotizing square effects that I still dont understand despite playing it several times.
<br>
<br>As far as we know, this is the only video games console ever released that can cause permanent retina damage even if played on a moderate brightness setting. But dont worry - your eyes are quite safe through the filter of YouTube. Pity about mine.
