The Original Nintendo (jan 1, 1980 – jan 1, 1990)

Description:

Even though most people probably think of computer CDs when they hear the term, the first CDs were meant for the music industry.
The problem was that because it was a new technology, most people couldn’t afford to buy a CD player. One of the first commercially available models was the Sony Discman D-50, and it originally came with a hefty price tag of $350, which is again huge considering this was 1984. So rather than fork out cash for CD players, instead many people in the 1980s stuck with their traditional vinyl records for a few more years.
