'''Post-ball-and-paddle video game consoles''' were the next [[video game console]]s to be released after the [[ball-and-paddle video game consoles]] that made up the initial console market. The first of these, the [[Fairchild]] [[Channel F]], was released in November [[1976]].
'''Second-generation video game consoles''' allowed for [[video game]] experiences that weren't previously possible with consumer [[video game console]] hardware.


The poor reception of some of the [[video game]] [[ROM cartridge|cartridges]] released in this generation of consoles, and the market saturation of [[ball-and-paddle video game consoles]], led to the [[North American video game crash of 1983]].
Many of the [[video game console]]s in this generation utilized [[ROM cartridge]]s. The first second-generation console, the [[Fairchild]] [[Video Entertainment System]], was released in November [[1976]].
 
The poor reception of some of the [[video game]] [[ROM cartridge|cartridges]] released in this generation of consoles, and the market saturation of ball-and-paddle video game consoles in the [[first-generation video game consoles|previous one]], led to the [[North American video game crash of 1983]].

This generation of consoles had multiple companies involved, including those involved in the previous one. [[Elektronika]], [[Magnavox]], and [[Philips]] return from the [[First-generation video game consoles|first generation]]. Coleco and Sanyo would continue to create consoles in the [[Third-generation video game consoles|third generation]]. [[Atari]] and [[Epoch]] continued to make consoles in the third and [[Fourth-generation video game consoles|fourth generation]]s. Nintendo was the only company that was active in the first and second generations which would continue to make consoles in the [[Fifth-generation video game consoles|fifth generation]] and beyond.

Second-generation video game consoles allowed for video game experiences that weren't previously possible with consumer video game console hardware.

Many of the video game consoles in this generation utilized ROM cartridges. The first second-generation console, the Fairchild Video Entertainment System, was released in November 1976.

The poor reception of some of the video game cartridges released in this generation of consoles, and the market saturation of ball-and-paddle video game consoles in the previous one, led to the North American video game crash of 1983.

Companies involved

This generation of consoles had multiple companies involved, including those involved in the previous one. Elektronika, Magnavox, and Philips return from the first generation. Coleco and Sanyo would continue to create consoles in the third generation. Atari and Epoch continued to make consoles in the third and fourth generations. Nintendo was the only company that was active in the first and second generations which would continue to make consoles in the fifth generation and beyond.
