Ahh the internet how I love thee? There’s nothing better than stumbling upon a gigantic nostalgic cache of happy memories now is there? Well actually there is. when said database is clean, beautiful which brings me to Consollection. Get it? Console-Collection! Eh maybe it was just me who it took 5 minutes before I realized that the name wasn’t French. Why French? Beats me!

Anyway, like the name implies the site is just one gigantic database of photos and information on video game consoles. The whole site one gigantic landing page with thumbnails arranged in chronological order from 1972′s Magnavox Odyssey to the modern day paper weight console Nintendo Wii. Click them and Viola! System info and more images. But truth be told I think the best part is seeing all of the systems side by side as thumbnails. It makes for a really beautiful image if you ask me!

The site is German, so expect some typos, poor grammar and funny sentence structure (just like on the Bloglin!). Spend some downtime reminiscing (who remembers…better yet had a Virtual Boy?) over some really beautiful and really garish product design. The is great for creative inspiration. I forgot how sleek and just how bulky some of these systems were. Look at that control pad above from the Jaguar CD… who the fuck would enjoy trying to play a game with that!?
