Console Portraits: A 40-Year Pictorial History of Gaming
 Much has changed in the last 40 years. but one thing is the same: People of all ages are still hunkered in front of screens, with controllers in their hands, fighting like hell to win at video games. From its humble "brown box" beginnings by German inventor Ralph Baer, to its current sleek and sexy lines, this regular fixture in living rooms the world over has proved a roaring success. Of course, there's been a few bumps along the way. Not every game was suitable viewing for kids, some titles continue to stir up trouble , and one sucked so badly it had to be buried in the desert. Console manufacturers have come and gone—some forever beloved, others gracefully forgotten—but thanks to Wired, we will continue to enjoy them, celebrate their unique place in history, and do everything we can to score big.
