Uma ungumlingani wesikole esidala noma ufuna ukukhumbula iminyaka yegolide, ungathatha noma yikuphi kwalokhu kududuzeka ukwazi kahle ukuthi yini ekumangaliseni ngayo.
I-Super Nintendo (i-SNES) ka-1991 ingcono kakhulu i-console yokudlala ye-Retro ye-16-bit era. I-SNES ibhekene nabaningana abaphikisanayo, njengoSega Genesis, kodwa bakwazi ukuhlala phezulu ngeziqu ezintathu-A (funda: Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World), izindleko ezingabizi futhi hardware enkulu kakhulu nge umsindo stereo.
Ngemidlalo engaphezu kuka-725 emtatsheni wawo wezincwadi, i-SNES ingenye yeziduduzi ezinhle kakhulu ezafika emakethe ngokusekelwa komuntu wesithathu. Ngenxa yomlando wayo owedlule othembisayo kanye namadili webhizinisi le-savvy, uNintendo uthole inzuzo yomphakathi esheshayo ne-Capcom yenkampani yangaphandle, ebanikeza i-port fighter II ye-console yokuqala. I-Nintendo yahamba ngenhla nangaphezulu nge-SNES ngokuthuthukisa uhlelo lwe-Super FX, okuvumela amandla e-3D ngezihloko ezifana ne-Starfox ne-Doom ngaphandle kokungeza kunoma iyiphi i-hardware engadingekile. Noma ubani ofuna ukukhumbula isipiliyoni sokuqala sokudlala sokuqala, ama-SNES athola izandla phansi.
Ngesinye isikhathi, iNdodana yeHedgehog, i-mascot ye-Sega Genesis, yayithandwa kakhulu kune-Nintendo's Mario. U-Sega uGenesise waphuma ngaphambi kwe-Super Nintendo ngo-1989 futhi waba nesihloko sokuqala ngokuletha emhlabeni i-console game ye-video ye-16-bit yevidiyo yokuzijabulisa eyaziqhenya ngokuziqhenya ngenye yezilawuli ezingcono kakhulu ezake zenziwe kanye nemidlalo eminingi yezemidlalo ephakeme.
Uma wazibuza ukuthi kungani sinezilinganiso ze-ESRB, ungabekwa u-Sega Genesis. I-console yayithengiswa kakhulu kubafana abakhulu futhi ingabonakala ekuhlukeni okucashile emidlalweni yesikhulumi esiphambanweni; UMortal Kombat weGenesise unegazi eliqhathaniswa ne-SNES. Imidlalo kaSega yenza ithoni ehlukile emakethe, futhi - Sonic IHedgehog yaletha ukudlala okusheshayo umdlalo; Imigwaqo yeRage inikeze abadlali nitty-gritty batshaya 'em ups; kanye nemidlalo eminingi yezemidlalo yochungechunge enezilimi ezifana ne-NHL, i-NFL, i-NBA ne-FIFA. Ngeke kamuva uSega akhiphe isikhwama sokulawula inkinobho esithathwe kahle esithathwe kahle esingaziphindaphinda izinkinobho zezinkinobho ze-arcade zokudlala ukujwayela.
I-PlayStation 2 (i-PS2) iyona console edayiswa kakhulu kunazo zonke, enezingqikithi ezingaba ngu-155 million amayunithi athengiswa kuze kube yimanje. Ngesikhathi u-Sony eqala ukuzifaka nge-CD-reading yokuqala ye-PlayStation, yashintsha imboni yemidlalo yevidiyo kuze kube phakade, futhi kulungile ukuthi i-PS2 izoyichaza kamuva: Ukubuyiselwa emuva kwe-PS2 ngemidlalo yasekuqaleni ye-PlayStation, ukudlala kwe-DVD kanye namakhikithi enobunjiniyela yenza kube i-console ephumelele kunazo zonke.
U-Sony wanquma ukuthi i-console yayo ye-PS2 yayiyoba uhlelo lokuzijabulisa, kodwa hhayi nje imidlalo yemidlalo. Ama-DVD ayekhulu kakhulu ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, futhi i-PlayStation 2 yalethwa ohlelweni lwe-multimedia oluphindwe kabili njengomdlali we-DVD. Ifomethi yedatha ivunyelwe imidlalo emikhulu, futhi, ngokwenza uchungechunge olunamahloni alubukeka njengama-cinematic masterpieces, okufaka phakathi i-Metal Gear Solid 2 no-3, uNkulunkulu weMpi, uShadow of the Colossus noGrand Theft Auto III.
Buza noma yiliphi i-90s kid ukuthi i-console engcono kakhulu yabadlali abaningi be-retro iyini futhi bazosho i-Nintendo 64. Ngaphambi kokuba abantu abahlukene be-intanethi bahlukaniswe ukusuka kude, amageyimu afana ne-Mario Party, i-Golden Eye: 007 no-Mario Kart 64 bakudinga wena nabangane bakho ngokomzimba hlala eduze komunye nomunye futhi uboshwe. Njalo ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku, izingane zonke ezungeze iMelika zizobiza abangani babo ngaphezulu kwepilisi ye-pepperoni kanye nomdlalo amahora ekugcineni nge-N64 yabo.
Nakuba i-PlayStation yakwa-Sony yayifake ekuthengiseni, i-Nintendo 64 yayine-fan esitebeleni esivela emidlalweni yayo yangaphambili. I-Nintendo 64 ingenye yezingqungquthela zokuqala ezingavumele kuphela izilawuli ezine zabadlali abaningi kodwa futhi zazisa umhlaba ukugubha amandla okulawula ngokusebenza kwayo kwe-Rumble Pak. Kuze kube yilolu suku, ngokusobala, i-Nintendo 64 ingenye yezinhlelo eziningi zabadlali abaningi ezifinyeleleka kakhulu, eziphelele kulawo maqembu aminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezilangazelela ukukhanya nokuzijabulisa okulula okungaxhunyiwe ku-intanethi.
Ngesinye isikhathi ngawo-1980 imboni yemidlalo yevidiyo yayifa kusukela ekugculiseni kuze kube yilapho iNintendo ethatha ithuba nge-console yayo yokuqala: i-Nintendo Entertainment System. I-Nintendo ibeka izinto zayo ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi abakhiqizi bezinkampani zangaphandle babenelungelo lokulayiseniswa futhi baphambene nemithetho eqinile njengokukhulula imidlalo emibili ngonyaka ukuvimbela "ama-shovelware" nokuvimbela leyo midlalo kwezinye izingqungquthela. Yasebenza.
I-Nintendo Entertainment System (i-NES) ihlanganisa enye yezincwadi zamabhayisikobho ezinkulu kunazo zonke ezingaphezu kuka-714 iziqu ezigunyaziwe ezilayisensi. Ukuqothulwa kwezomnotho phakathi nawo-1980 kwaholela ekutshalweni okuningi kwezobuciko nokuzijabulisa okuqhubeka nokuhlanganisa imakethe. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi ungathola iziqu ezingenakubalwa njenge-Mega Man, Contra, Final Fantasy, Tetris ne-Super Mario Bros, kodwa futhi ezinye zezinhlobo ezihlukahlukene kakhulu nemidlalo efana ne-Duck Hunt, i-Wall Street Kid ne-tarot card simulator, iTaboo.
Ngo-1989, i-Game Boy yathatha umhlaba ngesiphepho futhi yathengisa amayunithi angu-118.69 million emhlabeni wonke. I-Game Boy yayiyiphayona lokudlala imoto, okwakungathi, ngesikhathi esisodwa, njengoba nje idumile (uma kungenjalo) kunanamuhla. Ukucabanga nje kokukwazi ukudlala i-Tetris endizeni yesandla sezandla ngomsindo we-stereo wawujabulisayo.
Ngesikhathi sokuphila kwayo, i-Game Boy izobhekana nokushaya abaphikisi abaningi emakethe yokudlala yeselula njengoSega's Game Gear ne-Atari Lynx. Ukuqaliswa kwalo kufaka phakathi izihloko ezifana ne-Super Mario Land, i-Baseball ne-Tetris. Abadlali bangakwazi ngisho nokuthenga isixhumanisi sekhebula ukuze badlale imidlalo yabadlali abaningi. Ngandlela-thile, i-console ye-gray chubby ithole imodeli encane ebizwa ngokuthi i-Game Boy Pocket kanye ne-iteration enemibala ebizwa ngokuthi i-Game Boy Color. Uma wake wazibuza ukuthi kungani imidlalo ikhona kuma-smartphone, vele ubheke ku-Game Boy.
Siphindela emuva ngo-1977, lapho i-Atari engena khona emakethe entsha ne-memory-read memory kuphela (ROM) kanye ne-microprocessor-based based system ebizwa nge-Atari 2600. Ukuqaliswa kwe-Atari 2600 kwaletha imboni emisha, ukukhulula imidlalo evelele yevidiyo ye-arcade efana no-Pac-Man ne-Pong ukuze abathengi badlale egumbini labo lokuphumula.
Ngaphambi kukaMario, ngaphambi kweSonic, ama-arcades aseMelika ayesenza amagagasi afane ne-Space Invaders, u-Frogger no-Pitfall! Abantu babejabule ngeteknoloji entsha lapho bekwazi ukulawula amaphephandaba amancane a-2D phambi kwabo futhi badlale imidlalo. I-Atari ibona lokhu njengethuba futhi iholela emakethe yemthengi evumela ukuthi imidlalo yevidiyo idlalwe ekhaya ne-Atari 2600 i-console yokudlala. Umkhakha wokudlala waba omkhulu kakhulu waba isilo esingalawuleki, sinezinqwaba zemidlalo kanye nemiphriphithi eyayiqeda ukugcwala imakethe nokwakha i-crash video game crash ka 1983. Uma ungumlando-mlando noma ufuna ukubona ukuthi konke kuqalile, thola i-Atari 2600.
Ukufa kwe-Sega Dreamcast kwakungenye yezinhlungu ezinzima kakhulu emlandweni wokudlala nokuphela kwesikhathi seSega. Ikhonsoli ethembisayo yayinomkhankaso wokumaketha omkhulu futhi yakhululwa ngo-09/09/99, kodwa kancane kancane yafa ngenxa yokwehla okukhulu kwamanani nokuncintisana ne-PS2 yakwa-Sony. Noma kunjalo, yashiya eminye imidlalo enhle nezinkumbulo ezingeke zikhohlwe.
I-Sega Dreamcast ibhekwa njengenye yezingqongqo ezintsha zesikhathi sayo. Yayisistimu yokudlala yokuqala ene-modem eyakhelwe ngaphakathi yokudlala kwe-intanethi nokusekela kwe-inthanethi. Imidlalo yobuciko efana ne-Crazy Taxi ne-Jet Set Radio esheshayo (kanye nesipiliyoni se-Shenmue) evule umhlaba omusha wokudlala emisha. Ngaphambi kokuba i-XBOX ingene ematheni, iMicrosoft yanikela ukusekela ohlelweni, futhi uHALO yayilungiselelwe ekuqaleni. Ngokudabukisayo, ngoJanuwari 31, 2001, uSega wamemezela ukuyeka kwe-Dreamcast. Kukhona isisekelo se-fan esinikezelwe seSega Dreamcast lapho inamba encane yabathuthukisi abazimele isayenza imidlalo yokuziqhenya nge-system.
