CVGA Disassembled

Curated by Valerie Waldron, Computer & Video Game Archive Manager

Introduction

This exhibit began as a celebration of our 5th anniversary in Fall 2013, and is maintained by the Computer & Video Game Archive (CVGA) in the Duderstadt Center. For more information about the CVGA, see the About This Exhibit section.

Game consoles have undergone many changes over the course of time. Each generation of game console brings new capabilities, greater potential for more powerful games, and an updated design. This exhibit will explore game consoles throughout the generations as we open them up and give you an inside look at how they have evolved.

We will begin with the first six generations of game consoles, and will look to expanding into the seventh and eighth generations at a later time.
