Spillekonsoller (1. generation)

Den første generations spillekonsoller varede fra 1972 med udgivelsen af Magnavox Odyssey til omkring år 1977, da "pong"-konsol fabrikanter forlod markedet efter den succesrige introduktion af mikroprocessor-baserede konsoller.[1]

Interaktive fjernsyn

Fjernsyns ingeniøren Ralph Baer fik ideen at skabe interaktive fjernsyn imens han byggede et fjernsyn fra grunden for Loral 1951 i Bronx, New York. Han udforskede ideen yderligere i 1966 da han var chef ingeniør af "Equipment Design Division" ved Sanders Associates. Baer skabte et simpelt 2-spillere computerspil der kunne blive vist på et standard TV kaldt Chase, hvor to prikker jagtede hinanden på skærmen.

Like Pong, Telstar could only play video tennis but it retailed at an inexpensive $50 that made it attractive to most families that were on a budget.

It was followed by a more powerful sequel, Color TV Game 15. A million units of each were sold. The engineering team also came up with systems that played a more complex game, called "Blockbuster," as well as a racing game. Half a million units of these were sold. {{citation}}: Mere end en |author= og |last= angivet (hjælp)

The Magnavox Odyssey, the very first video game console. Released in 1972, the Odyssey was a simple and crude device that generated shapes on the television that could be controlled and interacted with. It only produced black and white graphics and had no sound, but was limited to only using discrete components like diodes and transistors. It was replaced in 1975 with the Magnavox Odyssey series, a line of dedicated Pong consoles.
