Techopedia Explains Console Game
Console game media can come in the form of a disk, which is inserted into the game console, although the latest game consoles download game content directly from the internet to built-in storage devices. From the 1970s to the mid-’90s, most game consoles used cartridges, which stored the game’s programming on integrated circuits.
Console games may also be played on specialized computers, which may be referred to as game consoles. Using audio-video output devices, video and sound are controlled by players’ interactions with game characters through handheld controllers.
Consoles are also beginning to run decentralized crypto games, where players are able to take full ownership of the digital assets they accumulate, and potentially monetize them.
