Those 8-bit Atari, Sega, and Nintendo Entertainment System game consoles were pretty corny but they were the founders of the newer games you see now. Yes, Magnavox Odyssey, Telstar (Coleco), and Pong were thought of first...then Atari (2600, 5200, 7800), but a majority of the newer games we play now (PS3, Xbox360, Wii) came from the NES and Sega Game Console...nothing beats playing a Super Mario Brothers game though!
