The development of game consoles since 1972

The »retrospective« section shows the technical development of game consoles since 1972.
A large part of the consoles is a friendly loan from Dipl.-Ing. Boris Jakubaschk. He works as a software developer in Karlsruhe. For more than 20 years he has been collecting historical computers in his spare time and documenting their history.
