If you like this kind of stuff and have some free time (ahem) you owe it to yourself to check out Jeremy Parish’s Video Works series. He also has a few books. He’s been doing it for over 10 years. The complete history of every game for every console. Including things you’ve likely never heard of. While things aren’t 100% in order he’s currently up to the Genesis around ‘89, before the SNES launched. You can see the evolution of systems, how different games influenced the ones that followed, it’s just an incredible body of work. NES? Gameboy? Atari? Microvision? Cassette Vision? Yes. And more. Absolutely one of my favorite YouTube channels and I’m proud to be a patron.
