What is the first video game system that you can hook uo to the T.V?

Answer 1

I believe it was the Magnavox Odyssey that was the first video game station you can hook to the T.V. The person who truly created the first home-system video game station is not the creator of Atari. Most people assumes that the creator of Atari made the first game station, which is not true. The man who was the real creator was a man named Ralph Baer. He had an idea to connect an interactive device to a household television. He struck a deal with Magnivox to publish his invention, thus the Odyssey and video game home-consoles were born in 1972.

[edit] Interactive television
Television engineer Ralph Baer conceived the idea of an interactive television while building a television set from scratch for Loral in 1951 in the Bronx, New York. He explored these ideas further in 1966 when he was the Chief Engineer and manager of the Equipment Design Division at Sanders Associates. Baer created a simple two-player video game that could be displayed on a standard television set called Chase, where two dots chased each other around the screen. After a demonstration to the company's director of R&D Herbert Campman, some funding was allotted and the project was made "official". In 1967 Bill Harrison was brought on board, and a light gun was constructed from a toy rifle that was aimed at a target moved by another player.


A simulation of Tennis for the Magnavox Odyssey, without overlayBill Rusch joined the project to speed up development and soon a third machine-controlled dot was used to create a ping-pong game. With more funding additional games were created, and Baer had the idea of selling the product to Cable TV companies, who could transmit static images as game backgrounds. A prototype was demonstrated in February 1968 to Teleprompter Vice President Hubert Schlafly, who signed an agreement with Sanders. The Cable TV industry was in a slump during the late 60's and early 70's and a lack of funding meant other avenues had to be pursued. Development continued on the hardware and games resulting in the final "Brown Box" prototype, which had two controllers, a light gun and sixteen switches on the console that selected the game to be played. Baer approached various U.S. Television manufacturers and an agreement was eventually signed with Magnavox in late 1969. Magnavox's main alterations to the Brown Box were to use plug-in circuits to change the games, and to remove the colour graphics capabilities in favour of color overlays in order to reduce manufacturing costs. It was released in May 1972 as the Magnavox Odyssey.
