Sony was not the first CD based console, the 3DO, Sega CD, Turbografx-16, Neo Geo CD, Philips CDI, and Atari Jaguar spring to mind and I'm sure there were other more obscure consoles that did to.


Yeah TG-16 was the first, interesting tidbit though i recently discovered there was a commodore 64 game compilation of some 20 odd games released on CD back in the mid 80s! of course you had to hook up your CD player/stereo to the C64 and it would load them via the analogue audio contained on the CD as opposed to being digital files on there but i'm pretty sure it is the first example of games being released on a CD.

The joys of magnetic tapes, really bad as protection.

Yeah they had alot of problems but they had one big advantage : Price!

One of my earliest memories was going with my parents to London (in 1990) and buying a tape game for my ZX +2, 1.99 or whatever it was.NES flopped hard in the UK, 1.99 a game vs 35.99 a game, plus very easy copying with the cassetes.No comparison.
