First generation consoles go here.
 
Some defining characteristics of first generation consoles include:
 
*Discrete transistor-based digital game logic.
*Games were native components of consoles rather than based on external or removable media.
*Entire game playfield occupies only one screen.
*Objects on screen consist of very basic dots, lines or blocks.
*Colours of graphics are basic (mostly black and white or other dichromatic combination; later games may display three or more colours).
*Either single-channel or no audio.
*Lacked features of second generation consoles, such as microprocessor logic, ROM cartridges, flip-screen playfields, sprite-based graphics, and multi-color graphics.
