29 Twitter Users Share Gaming Consoles That Had Been Forgotten
Did you know that the very first video game console which could be connected to a TV set was introduced in 1972? It was called Magnavox Odyssey and featured a variety of simple games such as volleyball, hockey, tennis, and chase. Game consoles promptly gained momentum and became a huge part of the gaming industry. As a result, there are many people out there who can't even imagine their childhood without video games. This Twitter user named Dilan is one of them. Recently, he shared some of his old handheld consoles and realized that people out there probably haven't even seen them before. His post has spiraled into a full thread of gaming consoles from the past that are rarely used these days. From the very first Nintendo Entertainment System, which was released in the 1980s, to the much more modern PlayStation Portable, which entered the industry in 2004, these blasts from the past are rarely remembered. Feeling nostalgic yet? If so, scroll down below for this wonderful trip down video game console memory lane.

My 6 year old plays Atari. He played ET recently and proclaimed it the worst game ever. Yep, he knows his stuff!
You kidding?! I'm in my teens and got one of these from my grandparents as a kid, me and my brother loved it to death- literally. We killed it.
Those of us that are slightly older remember the earlier version that had 6 switches on the console (pre 2600) Combat, Pong & Asteroids were the best games
When I was 8 or 9 I got sick for a week, my parents gave me the Atary and ONE game, Defender. With nothing to do all day, three days later I mastered it. The next day unplugged it, was fed up of the damn game.
The first computer i ever got. My mum got this for me and my sisters for Christmas. The amount of arguments it caused on whos turn it was. I remember a game called fast food. The classic space invaders, pacman and paperboy
Oh I loved this thing. Me and my brother had such fun with Missile Command, Hero, Enduro and more. It is sadly missed.
I loved this. Centipede was my favorite game on it, and then Pac-Man.
Both in my experience. Mine had a switch on the back that changed the tv type.

My very first console! Used to play "Rampage" a lot with my brother 😁
Can understand if some kids of today have no clue regarding the original Gameboy but seriously, the first Nintendo DS came out in 2005 and DSi is from 2008. Who exactly is intended as "kids of today" then ?
I found several of my GB games last week. Not sure if I should throw them away or sell them.
Plus, this is technically the first Xbox. (DirectX integration into a gaming console, which is litterally what "Xbox" mean)
I got really unlucky. I got one of the few defective ones(screen was internally damaged). Wound up swiping my cousin's whenever she was over until I got a Gameboy Advance.
Aww the Game Gear! Will happily gobble 6 AA batteries in about 4 hours! What a beast.
My teacher in high school had so many Marlboro miles there point system. She won the train trip there ultimate promotion prize. But all Marlboro did was keep extending the date of the trip. Due to health concerns of the workers it got canceled. But she got such cool stuff even a kayak and a lot more.
You know the 3 in 3DS was because it was in 3D right? And then the 2DS came out because you could play the 3DS games but only in 2D...
can this stupid "im older than you, you don't know what this is, therefore i'm better than you" war thing come to an end?? it's really annoying considering gen z kids have most likely seen those and played with those. sorry to burst your millennial bubble but you're not really that old.
Well, it is fun to get nostalgic, but this is a rather random collection from different epochs of video gaming...

not one mention of the spectrum 48k? who else remembers the noise the tape made as it was loading?
I remember the commodore 64. Sometimes you wait all that time and then it dont load.
Load More Replies... Is it wrong that I know all of these and played with them thought I’m like 11? 😂
Man if I'd known about this Twitter thread, I would have gone and taken a picture of my Virtual Boy lol
My all time fave games are Final Fantasy (i have 1 - 13) Resident evils, silent hills, guitar heroes, 8 ball pool and clash of clans.
Nintendo and Gameboy? Such a c**p for wealthy Westeros :-D But who knows Ну, погоди! from Электроника with Wolf and Eggs? NuPogodi-5...954c74.jpg 
i didnt see any turbo grafx-16 listed there. i had one of those when i was like 12. it was pretty amazing. and i thought that the graphics were way above Nintendo and genesis at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurboGrafx-16
Anyone remember Ghosts and Goblins? You had to collect the keys to get to the next room.
How about the Colecovision Adam for those of us who couldnt afford an Apple IIc? kSp0V3Nl.jpg 
Game developer then: i want make a game about monkey soldier carrying a gun that fires pinneaple and shooting at group of musroom. Game developer now: alright time to make another FPS game and kill more zombies
Don't forget microtransactions! Can't have a FPSRPG without microtransactions. And a battle royale mode.
