Last year, I produced a pain-in-the-ass of a video called ‘The Insane Console History Video.’ You can see the original here, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Because I recently updated it to the new and improved ‘Insane Console History Video 2.0’

There are over 450 consoles, computers, and dedicated game machines in this video and there were over 1300 individual elements in Sony Vegas that, when combined, formed this awesome video slideshow that you’ll see below.

As for the music, Elder-Geeks should recognize the majority of the tunes. But I can guarantee that you won’t recognize even half of the consoles on display. The torch of ‘most complete and definitive console history video’ has been passed. Yes, it’s been passed from the first version to this updated one, but it’s been passed nonetheless.

Please forgive the quality of some of the photographs. Also, the systems are ordered by release date by year and then sub-ordered alphabetically or chronologically depending on what information was available. Thanks to Old-Computers for many of the images.

EDIT: As requested, here’s an ordered list of the songs used in the video.
