Gaming consoles having always been a fast developing phenomenon. Over four decades, they have developed from the founding member of gaming consoles, the Atari 2600, made in 1977, all the way to the most recent Xbox 1 and Playstation 4. Over this time, games have developed from games like asteroids and pac-man, to the graphical powerhouses of games like Call of Duty Ghost. But a lot of people still look upon the retro games and gaming consoles, like the Atari, as awesome, and something timeless. You only need to play a game like asteroids, or pac-man, and you will have no option other than to admit the unique appeal of such a simple game. While asteroids may only have very simple graphics, the tension and enjoyment you can derive from the game is no less than what you can experience in a modern game. Even when I play them now, I quickly find that addictive quality of those games is still present.
