商品描述

The Console Chronicles will take you on a unique journey through the history of gaming platforms.

Fifty years ago, the home console was an anomaly that predated when everyone around the world knew the name Nintendo. With each passing generation, consoles evolved, their pixels exchanged for polygons. Over time, these machines gained popularity and brought the beginnings of a new artistic frontier. Consoles enabled split-screen chaos, late-night LAN parties, and interlinked online play - connecting friendships worldwide.

The Console Chronicles is the ultimate tribute to not only five decades of home console gaming, but to the incredible people, and their remarkable stories, which make our shared history special. Telling tales of sibling rivalries and disruptive ideas, personal resonance and technical triumph, this is a celebration of every system that you hold dear.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

遊戲主機編年史 將帶您踏上一段獨特的旅程,探索遊戲平台的歷史。

五十年前,家用遊戲主機是一種異類,早於全球每個人都知道任天堂這個名字的時期。隨著每一代的更迭,遊戲主機不斷演變,像素被多邊形所取代。隨著時間的推移,這些機器逐漸受到歡迎,開創了一個新的藝術邊界。遊戲主機使得分屏混亂、深夜局域網派對和互聯網連線遊玩成為可能,將全球的友誼連結在一起。

遊戲主機編年史 是對五十年家用遊戲主機遊玩的終極致敬,還有那些令人驚嘆的人們及其非凡故事,讓我們共同的歷史變得特別。講述兄弟姐妹之間的競爭和顛覆性想法、個人共鳴和技術勝利,這是對每一個您所珍視的系統的慶祝。
