Video Games
Consoles, classics and the shorthand players use.
Video games are now the largest entertainment industry in the world and still the one most often left out of general knowledge. This category covers the landmark titles, the companies behind the hardware, and the genre shorthand that players use constantly and rarely spell out. It reaches back to the arcade era and forward through the consoles most households have owned. The explanations give the context, why a game mattered commercially or technically, rather than treating it as a list of release dates. Playable whether you have finished a hundred games or none.
