Get the tie mug.Bill Gates first games-console entry into the video-games industry.
Microsoft's PC in a box, plug N play no longer "plug n pray" is a brave and interesting debut into this still infant industry.
Initially a slow start at launch, Xbox has picked up somewhat and is currently in second place to Sony's PS2 with Nintendo's Game Cube trailing third place in the next-genertion of console wars.
It has a number of titles under it belt, along with some solid aquisitions and merges, it's a good all round performer, and currently the most powerful games machine around to date.
Now universally available is Xbox live, which has become very popular amongst gamers worldwide.
As they say, power is money and money is power, like it or not Xbox is here to stay.

Get the tie, TIE mug.A great yet very much underestimated 8-bit console that was released towards the end of the 80's, developed by NEC Corp Japan, this 8-bit wonder (the size of an average person's palm) rivalled and put to shame 16-bit systems such as the Amiga and Atari ST's.
At the same era, the Sega Master System and Nintendo's NES was also doing the rounds but technically they weren't as advanced as the PC Engine.
Unfortunately, due to poor communications and lack of marketing the PC Engine only ever graced hardcore import gamer's shelves and was never much heard of again.
NEC also created a handheld of the PC Engine, known as the PC Engine GT this was at the time THE handheld to have (techinically far superior to GameBoy and Sega's Game Gear), but again was hampered by lack of marketing and only was available to die-hard gaming fans.
