This is a fun nostalgic trip back to the late eighties and early nineties when the first popular gaming consoles were launched.

It all started with Atari. That company didnt last long. Then Nintendo popped up and the rest is history. But for a short period there was a fierce competition with a new comer on the market called SEGA, which games were more tailored to teenagers instead of little kids. Suddenly lots of blood and gore and action was available in gaming to millions of teenagers. They were lovin' it.

In the end SEGA did not last, but it is fun ride to watch how they became the biggest and how they destroyed their own succes.

I like the bit way the end where they went SEGA SEGA SEGA!!!!!!!?

As the kid gamers of the 1990s now edge closer to 40 years of age, the topic of the Nintendo/Sega console wars is an oft-covered one. Despite being based on the Console Wars book from a number of years ago, I feel like this is the third iteration of such material I've seen on various streaming platforms in the last year or two alone.

As such, your mileage may vary depending on your level of knowledge coming into the viewing experience. If this is your first go-round with the 90s console wars, it will probably rank a bit higher. If not, however, there really isn't much new here that I hadn't already read/seen elsewhere.

Probably the hallmark of this film is its unique visuals, using a 16-bit motif on numerous occasions and to nice effect. What it may lack in out and out originality it somewhat makes up for in presentation.

Overall, I enjoyed watching "Console Wars". I am 100% the target audience for this sort of thing (about 10 years old when this was all transpiring),so that certainly helps. The combination of being largely beaten to the punch by other avenues, yet looking so slick, makes me settle on a solid--not spectacular--7 stars here.
