Quite interesting to see the design evolution. Surprised to see so many random ones even in the PS1/N64 era. A select few:
I think I still have the Intellivision, Turbo GrafX and Jaguar in my garage.
Too bad they don’t make RF Switch->HDMI adapters to make these things easy to hook up anymore.
My favorite of all time was this guy:
From a technology and engineering perspective it was kind of amazing, especially in 1990. 9 bit 512 color display, played the same games as the Turbo Graphics, could turn into a TV with an attachable TV tuner.
Technologically awesome…but an overpriced piece of garbage. I remember always staring at it inside it’s little glass case at the Electronics store for an unheard of $350.
Oh consumer electronics…how I miss thine glory days.
Whew! Bring back the wood grain electronics! Woo hoo!
I think i’ll go with a walnut veneer on my ps3
I love the name “Wonder Wizard”. That was one of those 1980’s catch words. Like “Electronic”.
Remember “Mr. Wizard”?
On topic…I left the following at my parents have 2-3 Atari 2600s, 1 Atari 7800, Sega Master System, Sega Master System II, Genesis, Master System to Genesis convertor, JVC XEye (Sega CD). I have just a lowly PSII today…I tossed my PSI.
I also had some kind of Parker Brothers portable game system. I can’t remember the name though:/
I actually had this 1977 version of “COMBAT”… it was a system that only played one game… it was a hand-me-down from an older cousin.
Whew! Bring back the wood grain electronics! Woo hoo!
Okay, here ya go … . .
Mattel Intellivison … 1979. KILLER 16-bit graphics! … for 1978. Multi-screen views.Great sound… B-17 Bomber and Armor Battle were great to play in a darkened room; … instrument panel to monitor, artificial horizon, maps to navigate, fighters, flak, great fun!
My wife hated it… . . 
Remember Mr. Wizard… !!! I raced home from school every day to catch the show… . .
Technically 4 bit graphics but a 16 bit processor.
