===Retro style console=== {{See also|List of retro style video game consoles}} During the later part of video game history, there have been specialized consoles using computing components to offer multiple games to players.

Plug-and-play consoles usually come with the console unit itself, one or more controllers, and the required components for power and video hookup.
