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.

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.

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...
