What is the oldest video game console?

The Magnavox Odyssey (1972) was the first video game console that could be connected to a TV set.


When was the first home video game released and what was it?

Technically the first home game system was the "Odyssey" made by Ralph Baer, distributed through Magnavox, and it didn't seem to have named games. It probably did, and I just don't know them. That's 7 years before I was born. :) I think it was 1972 when the Odyssey came out. Atari came out with "Pong" on a home system (not arcade) in 1975. So technically Odyssey, but to name an actual game, I would say Pong on the Atari. The list of games for the Odyssey Analogic, Baseball, Basketball, Brain Wave, Cat & Mouse, Dogfight, Football, Fun Zoo, Handball, Haunted House, Hockey, Invasion, Interplanetary Voyage, Percepts, Prehistoric Safari, Roulette, Shooting Gallery, Shootout, Simon Says (in 1978 the designer Ralph Baer created the electronic game for Mattel), Ski, Soccer, States, Submarine, Table Tennis (the first version of Pong that was copied by Atari and sued by Magnavox, Magnavox won) , Tennis, Volleyball, Win, Wipeout. It was first available in 1972 and discontinued in 1975 selling 330,000 units. There was actually one that preceded the odyssey but it was also created by Ralph Baer. It wasn't actually a system, per se, but it was a converted cathode ray tube TV made to play a game he called "come catch me". Where a red square chased a green square. No score was recorded, the game simply reset each time the squares touched. not sure if these TV's were sold but i am certain that they were prototypes of home video games. Magnavox was the only company to take Ralph's new technology at the time. I think a predecessor to pong was also created before importing it to the odyssey, which also didn't record score. it came with paper and pencils though! First game came out in 1966, which was pong, but the first time it was fully functional was in 1967. I believe from my research it was a game called Space Wars, 1961. However that was not popular at all. Pong took the title of the first video game, 1972. :)

When did Ralph Baer invented the first video game?

Answer: I wrote a 4-page Disclosure Document on 1 September 1966. It lays out the then novel concept of playing games on a standard home TV set. After building 6 successively more complex and capable game systems, the seventh was a programmable machine (the Brown Box, the original of which is now at the Smithsonian) which played ping-pong, tennis, handball, volleyball, chase games and a light-gun game. Several patents issued and Magnavox produced the first consumer product, their Odyssey game, in 197, under license to those patents. BTW, at a Magnavox dealership demonstration (in Burlingame, CA) of the Odyssey in May of 1972, Nolan Bushnell, Atari's president at the time, played the Odyssey's ping-pong game hands-on and subsequently hired Alan Alcorn. It was Alan who designed the eminently successful Pong arcade game that first appeared in late 1972 and established Atari as the pre-eminent arcade video game producer of that period. Magnavox went on to produce and sell 350,000 Odysseys over the next two years which effectively started the home console industry. Anyone interested in the many documents generated during the process of developing those 7 original video game consoles can find them at this Smithsonian Institute's website: <http://invention.smithsonian.org/resources/fa_baer_index.aspx> All of those documents are in high-res tiff formal. That includes the 4-page original Disclosure Document. The site also contains a chronological, illustrated description of those six developmental game systems and of the Brown Box.

Which video game system was the first one ever made and who made it?

In 1972 that Magnavox released the first home video game console which could be connected to a TV set---the Magnavox Odyssey, invented by Ralph H. Baer. The Odyssey was initially only moderately successful, and it was not until Atari's arcade game Pong popularized video games, that the public began to take more notice of the emerging industry.

What was the first game console made?

The first hand held gaming system ever documented was the Nintendo "Game & Watch". It looked alot like a DS and had 2 buttons. This was before Nintendo's big step into the console market with the NES. It was made in 1980 and had one game inplanted into it. If you wanted a more than one game, you had to buy another Game & Watch. The Gameboy Color was NOT first whomever answered this question previously to me. Also, the first Nintendo handheld console where you could switch games was the ORIGINAL Gameboy. The Nintendo Gameboy.
