Muchikamu chakati chemakore maviri eupenyu, ColecoVision akaputsa zvitarisira, rekodhi rezvekutengesa uye yakanga iri munzira iyo yekuva ndiyo yakabudirira zvikuru console munhoroondo, dai yakanga isiri yekushanda kwemabhizimusi muna 1983/84 uye mutambo wakaipa wokushandura console kuva home computer.
The Pre-History
Mune zvimwe zvikonzero zita rechinyorwa ichi raigona kunge rakanzi, Coleco: Imba iyo Atari Inovakwa , seCleco yakagadzira bhizimisi rose mukugadzirisa uye kufambira mberi teknolojia yeAtari .
Muna 1975 Atari's Pong yaiva yakakundwa mukati mavo maviri maascades uye ega-maiva nemisha yeimba, zvakanyanya kutengesa kutengesa kwemakwikwi avo chete, Magnavox Odyssey . Nekubudirira kwekupedzisira kwePong , mapoka ose emakambani akanga achiedza kukwidza mumitambo yemavhidhiyo, kusanganisira Co nnecticut Le ather Co mpany (aka Coleco ), uyo akanga atanga bhizimisi ravo mune zvigadzirwa zveganda ndokubva apinda mukugadzirwa kwemapurasitiki ekugadzira mapurisa .
Gore rakatevera Pong akasunungurwa Coleco akapinda mumutambo wemavhidhiyo isina kukwana nePong clone yekutanga, Telstar . Mukuwedzera kune rine Pong (inonzi Tennis pano), chip yakanga yakashandurwa kuti iise maviri akasiyana emutambo, Hockey uye Handball . Kuva nemitambo inopfuura imwe chete yakaitawo kuti Telstar ishandurwe yekutanga yenyika.
Kunyange zvazvo Atari aiva nekodzero yePong , zviri pamutemo vakanga vasingagoni kurwisana nemakondohwe emakondohwe akarova pamusika. Ikoko kwakanga kwave kune gorosi rakapoteredza mutambo seAtari ivo pachavo vakanga "vakwereta" pfungwa uye yakagadzirwa kubva paTennis for Two , iyo inofunga kuti ndiyo yekutanga yevhidhiyo yemutambo, uyewo Magnavox Odyssey's Tennis game yakasunungurwa gore risati rasvika Pong .
Pakutanga, Telstar yaiva mutengesi mukuru uye pamusoro pemakore maviri akatevera, Coleco akabudisa mitemo yakasiyana-siyana, imwe neimwe ine kusiyana kwePong uye kuwedzera kwehutano. Iyo microchip iyo Telstar yakashandiswa yakanyatsogadzirwa naGener Electric. Sezvo GE akanga asina kusungwa nechibvumirano chakanaka chero kambani inoshuva kupinda muchikwata chemuchina wevhidhiyo inogona kuwana yavo pong clone iri kushandisa GE chips. Pakupedzisira, kunyange Atari yakashandura kuGEN sezvo yaive yakagadziriswa sarudzo pane kugadzira mapepa pachavo. Nenguva isipi misika yakasvibiswa nemazana eEpong -rip-offs akasiyana, uye kutengesa kwakatanga kusvibiswa.
Sezvo vanhu vakatanga kuneta nePong , Atari akaona mikana yekugadzira hurongwa hwemitambo yakasiyana-siyana pamakatikiti akasiyana-siyana , uye muna 1977 vakabudisa Atari 2600 (aka Atari VCS ) . Iko 2600 yakakurumidza kuva kubudirira kukuru, kutonga mumusika kusvikira 1982 apo Coleco akasarudza kudzokera kune tsime reAtari tech yeClecoVision .
Mutumbi weConsole - Mwoyo weKomputa
Muna 1982 misika yemusha yakatungamirirwa neAtari 2600 uye Mattel's Intellivision . Vakawanda vakanga vaedza kukwikwidza asi vakakundikana ... kusvikira ColecoVision yauya.
Pakazosvika makore makumi mapfumbamwe nemapfumbamwe emichina yekombiyuta yairema kudhura nekuda kweCommodore 64 , uye vatengi vakanga vachida mitambo yakakwirira. Coleco yakapiwa nokuva wekutanga kuisa kombiyuta purogiramu yemuvideo game game console.
