Cool thread. But I believe the Atari VCS beat the Xband to the punch by about 12/13 years with the Gameline.

The Radofin 1292 Advanced Programmable Video system is the first system with analog joysticks.

It might also be the first system using ROM carts, but we only know the release year (1976) and not the month and day of release.

(The Interton VC 4000 is a rebranded 1292 AVPs in a new shell, BTW).

 

Anyone know the date on this one?


Those are Pong systems. The Pong chip is mounted in a cart; so you an have all of the Pong chip games for cheaper that buying 10 different Pong systems.

Those systems are said to have been realesed in 1977;in any case they can't be older than the GY chips.

Was searching for an old dungeon maze game and saw a link to this: First game to feature a black video game character. Apparently, it's 1979's Basketball for the Atari 800.

There is some dispute, however. 1976's Heavyweight Champ by Sega could be the first, but it's so primitive it's only in black and white, so it's hard to tell. You decide.

1991 : The Watara Supervision, first Asian console trying to catch on the success of the Game Boy :D

This is very visible in the first modele, released only in Asia and Western europe (excluding the UK)

Some may argue that the BitCorp Gamate try to do this too, but the shape is different, the game carts are different, and inside it you find quality chips (Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Sanyo and even Philips! plus a custom Bitcorp CPU). even the buttons and shell are well made, where the Supervision use cheap parts, pretty dull plastic (gray that was cheap because if was used alot in computer cases) and off the shelves parts; the the Bitcorp Gamate may more have been a genuine attempt to get on the handheld market.
