mike_intellivision said: @Legend -- many of what you described came elsewhere -- From Sony. Memory card -- yes, though Sega Saturn had external memory too. Disc based media -- Nintendo Famicom Disk. (CD medium included CDI and Sega CD). Backwards compatibility -- Atari 7800, Atari and Sega through add-ons. (In the classic era, Mattel and Coleco even brought out add-ons that let you play another system's games on your system). Playing music cds -- Sega CD. Playing movie dvds on console -- Yes, though others (3DO perhaps) played VCDs. Microsoft's list is spot-on though. Mike from Morgantown |
You forgot that the nes had online before microsoft. I think that was the earliest console online.
