    I was surfing around on Wikipedia and I found an interesting article.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_vi...t_generation%29

    I think this is a pretty good and fairly accurate.

      I'd say that was pretty accurate but it has to be if it's on Wikipedia. They've got all the import stuff like the Sega - Nintendo war in the 90's.

        Maybe this will help credit Ralph Baaer with the invention of video games, and not Nolan Bushnell.

        Ralph Baaer created the initial idea of video games (and subsequently the Odyssey), and is still not credited in many encyclopedias as the 'inventor of video games'. That title is still widely regarded to go to Nolan Bushnell.

        Bushnell created 'popular' video games with the Atari 2600 but did not have the initial creation and invention of video games.
