With the advent of next generation gaming consoles such as the XBox and PS3, a lot of people seem to have forgotten all about the wonderful video games of yore. Contra, Mario Brothers, Prince of Persia and the like have entertained millions of people across different generations and still hold a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts.
A group of such enthusiasts have come together to create a database of all the video games that they could find and have put that up on a website depicting a timeline of their glorious past.

The website lists not only the release dates of a number of games, but also information about their creators, the plot summary, a screenshot of the game (wherever available) and a link to a source website with more information on the game.
The timeline also captures information on gaming technologies, businesses, accessories and also significant cultural landmarks that influenced gaming in any way.
Features:
- Video game history timeline.
- No need to register to view information on any gaming title.
- Comprehensive database of game titles.
- Includes information (wherever available) on game designers and businesses.
- Includes links to more information available online.
- Timeline view makes it easy to grasp the huge amount of data available.
