Arcade games were first introduced in the 1970s and used basic controls like buttons and joysticks. Early games had black and white graphics. Home video game consoles emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, starting with the Magnavox Odyssey and gaining popularity with systems like the Atari 2600 and Nintendo Entertainment System. Consoles have gone through eight generations with improving graphics capabilities. Today's consoles support HD graphics and online multiplayer, while controllers offer motion control. PC games also offer more advanced graphics compared to consoles and higher frame rates without restrictions.
