The console war has many rivals batteling out but who has fallen during this wave after wave of attack.

The Spectrum and Amiga were some of the oldest games companys and the first to dissapear these stunning consoles which we enjoyed as kids have vanished the earliest casulties of the console war.

With had Lynx, Atari, Neo geo and now even good old Sega Nintendo have been around since the start and the only force from the first generation ever to survive while Sony being reasonably old is still a young company only up to their second system.

A new enemy is coming, Microsoft, but will this company survive as long as Nintendo or die like the Phillips CDI we will have to wait and see what do you think!

Not really... these machines just wernt updated to the Speccy2000 models... like the NES, SNES, etc.. their system architecture slowly became obsolete and outdated (although given that the Speccy48K last 10 years is a pretty impressive track record)

These machines didnt lost to the console wars, they just because outdated...

A new 'enemy'?
