CNBC TV has a great documentary on the history of video games. Not only do they play it often but I believe you can now get instant online viewing of their documentaries from www.cnbc.com.
 
Japan had a rather expensive console back in the early 90's called Neogeo.
 
Before there were game consoles, there were computer games, and before that text based "adventure" games. Back in the mid to late 1970s both Apple and TRS-80 had games.
