Mượn từ bài của bạn Introduction và có sửa đổi đôi chút: Không biết có phải định nghĩa chính xác hay không? Nhưng cũng ráng thử: Video game Console - là 1 máy điện tử (electronic device) được chế ra để chơi game. Và máy đó được hiển thị phát ra từ TV hoặc computer hoặc 1 màn ảnh để từ đó ra chữ Video và game là sự giải trí. Hệ máy đầu tiên ra đời là Atari, và game (không biết phải đầu tiên không) là game Pong được phát hành năm 1972 cho hệ Atari. Những hệ máy mà tui biết tới và sự sống của nó: - Atari 2600: 1978-1990: Specs: [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1][font=tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=-2][font=arial, sans-serif] CPU: 6507, 1.19 MHz Memory: RAM - 128 Bytes in VLSI, ROM - 4K max Graphics: A custom chip named Stella and a graphics clock that run at 1.19 MHz Storage Method: Carts Input: 2 Joystick ports [/font][/size][/font][/size][/font] - Magnavox Odyssey: 1978-1984 - Atari 5200: 1982-1984 [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]YEAR[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]1982[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]COUNTRY[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]U.S.A.[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetic\ a]Model#[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]CX-5200[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetic\a]Codename[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]Little-Pam[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]CPU[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]6502[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]SPEED[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]1.79 MHz[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]COPROCESSORS[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]Pokey (sound chip), Antic (graphics), GTIA (video)[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]ROM[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]4K max[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]RAM[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]16k[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]GRAPHIC Modes[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]17 graphics modes, including multicolored bitmap and Multicolor character modes, 8 sprites elemens. 320 X 192 hires.[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]COLORS[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]16 hues, 8 luminances each, 128 colors. 256 colors possible, 16 on screen at once.[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]SOUND[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]4 channels[/font] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]I/O Ports/Addons[/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica]Auto Antenna/Game connect, 2 or 4 controller ports, expansion port (serial)[/font] - Colecovision: 1983-1984 - Atari 7800: 1986-1992 - NES (nintendo): 1985-1995 Processor: 6508 8-bit (using a custom Motorola 6502 class) Processor speed: 1.79 Mhz Resolution: 256x224 (ntsc) or 256x239 (pal) Colors available: 52 Max Colors on screen: 16, 24 or 25.
