Tier 5: Every Video Game Console Ever Made!

Welcome to IcebergDocs, where we take a deep dive into a variety of subject from top to bottom. In this episode we will explore Tier 5 of the Complete Video Game Console iceberg. The consoles we will discuss today are...<br /><br />▪️ Fairchild Channel F<br />Released in 1976, and widely considered to be the first true home video game console., it was the first system to use ROM cartridges instead of built in games.<br /><br />▪️ Atari XEGS<br />The home video game console version of Atari's 8 bit computers. Released in 1987, the XEGS was compatible with all Atari computer peripherals including keyboards, mice and printers.<br /><br />▪️ Philips CD-i<br />Released in 1990, the CD-i is the first true home multimedia device, capable of not only playing video games, but also playing movies, videos, 3d virtual tours, and connecting to the internet.<br /><br />▪️ Commodore CDTV<br />Released in 1991, the CDTV was Commodore's answer to the Philips Cd-i. It was a multimedia device designed to be a replacement for the home computer.<br /><br />▪️ Pioneer LaserActive<br />The LaserActive was released to compete with the CDTV and CD-i. in 1993. This amazing multimedia device could not only play LaserDiscs and other video media, if you installed certain ad-ons called PACs, it could play SEGA Genesis cartridge games, SEGA CD games, TurboGrafx 16 games as well as TurboGrafx CD disc games.<br /><br />▪️ NEC TurboDuo<br />Released in 1991, the TurboDuo was a newer model of the TurboGrafx 16 that also integrated the Turbo CD ad-on into one single console. It did fairly well in Japan, but failed to take off in the U.S.<br /><br />▪️ SEGA Pico<br />The Pico was released in 1993 and had the same hard ware as the Genesis. It was marketed to young children as a learning and gaming device.<br /><br />▪️ Bandai Playdia<br />The Playdia was similar to the Pico in that it was marketed to children, but was more of a multimedia device as it also played video along with games.<br /><br />▪️ Casio Loopy<br />The Loopy was the first and only video game console designed and marketed exclusively for girl gamers. It also had a built in thermal printer to make stickers.<br /><br />This iceberg was put together by myself, Thomas.
