Top 25 Video Game Consoles of All Time

5. Magnavox Odyssey (1972)

Coming in at #5 is the first video game console, ever, the Magnavox Odyssey. Even though the Magnavox Odyssey may not be the most impressive game console on paper, lacking color display and sound, this system is the pioneer that has made all future gaming possible. Everything about this console was basic and the controllers were like bricks, but the console allowed gamers to enjoy sports video games for the first time. Also, the Odyssey introduced the original home light gun, known as the Shooting Gallery.
