Wassup klovers. Check out this video I found in the homie's streetwear blog: A Short Visual History of Videogames (consoles) It's presented in film strip style like when you were in elementary school "old school", but with ultra realistic computer graphics enjoy!

A Short Visual History of Videogames
 
If you want to leave out more than half the consoles produced and give a biased view of the ones that were made, then it was pretty good.

They showed the wrong version of the SNES. They left out the early Pong home systems, RCA's Studio one, the Fairchild Channel F, Coleco's Telstars, the Arcadia 2001, the Atari 5200, 7800, 400/800 computer systems, Jaguar, Vectrex, Sega 32X and CD add ons, the Neo Geo, the Colecovision, the Intellivision, and a bunch more that I'm to tired to name.

They portrayed the Saturn and Dreamcast as worthless systems and yet they sold very well here and had better graphics than the systems they were competing against.

Well, I love my dreamcast and am a big sega fan, but if you think sega sales of 9 million units (versus 100+ million playstation units) is evidenvce of them selling 'very well', I have a feeling you arent going to like much of anything that's published about that era!

Oddly enough I lived through that "era" and bought one of almost every system made. I still own them too. The graphics on the PS1 suck when compared to the Saturn or the Dreamcast. And yes the PS1 sold more units. They started selling it in 1994 and didn't quit till 2006. The Dreamcast literally had the rug pulled out from under it only selling from 1999 to 2001. Sega gets a + for building a great system, and a big - for pulling the support for it after less than 2 years. I know it pissed me off. Luckily people are still making games for the Dreamcast.
 
I'm with you. I loved my sega stuff but I remember thinking "something is wrong". NOBODY was developing stuff for either system (saturn/dreamcast) WAAAAAYYYY before Sega even hinted at pulling the plug. They were bleeding badly and with nothing in the pipe, I'm not sure they had any other options.
