Looking at the evolution of video game consoles is fascinating. While conventional PCs tend to evolve 'incrementally', new generations of consoles introduce completely new ways of working. The writings you see here are part of a series aimed at uncovering the rationale behind the latest trends in technology. They will also demonstrate why each system can't be summarised by its 'bits', megahertz, amount of RAM and whatnot.

This volume includes the hardware and software analysis of the Sega Saturn (1994), PlayStation (1994), Virtual Boy (1995), and Nintendo 64 (1996)—a peculiar set I have dubbed 'The Pioneer Race'.
