Reporting on Game Consoles and its evolution…?

Our prof told us to report any topic regarding computer technology and I thought of Console Gaming and its evolution (coz I love playing video games). My prof overheard what I was saying and appointed me to be the first to start to report to the class! And the report will start on Saturday!!! I still have no idea where to start… maybe history of video games or something… there’s so many console OMG!!! Could anyone help me out here?

BTW… I’m a college freshie.

I think there are a few books about this that I’ve seen – try Amazon.

I think if you like video games, you’ll probably hav heard of the Atari – which was the first really popular console player.

I think the timeline goes something like this…

Atari

Atari 2000

Nintendo

Sega Genesis

3DO

Sega Saturn/ Sony Playstation

Xbox

Game Cube

etc., etc.,

I’m sure if you look up Atari and video games you can get a good history on Google.

You can do this many ways,

You could do the first Technology of video games, starting from Pong, Atari, Nintendo, etc and talk about the technical changes they went through.

-Memory/bit increasing over systems

-game play (RPG, shooter etc) through the systems

-different stories behind major games on the consoles

-transitioning games from Japan to US (For your info: mario From Super Mario wasn’t originally named that in Japan)

-wires/wireless systems

-from tv consoles to portables. You could discuss the little used Virtual boy and it’s predecessor the Game Boy

Good luck on your report!

Start off by talking about how much money games pull in each year so people who don’t play games will understand your report is valid.

You can probably get information from most of the game companies’ websites.
