Before E3, there was the Consumer Electronic Show. Video gamers were a growing entertainment force, but until someone said "hey, video games should have their own show," everyone propped up a booth at the more wide-ranging tech fair that was CES. It wasn't long until video games branched off into E3 -- the split actually began in 1995 -- but enough gamers had cameras back then to capture the madness, which have been subsequently slapped on YouTube for us to, of course, laugh at.
Let the insanity begin...
CES and E3 did overlap one year, however...

ah the nostalgia that was the 90's. some of the best years for videogames and some of the best videogames ever released to this day are from this era. the 90's was a good time man i think that it just sucks though that i was still a kid in those years and didnt get to fully enjoy them as a gamer or a teenager for that matter.

lol, apparently cd-rom based systems can't duplicate the full 3-d capabilities of a superior cartridge based machine like the N64.
Oh, the crazy things they said back then.

Wow, if I saw that Star Fox laser show in 1995 I'd probably crap myself in amazement. Why isn't something as sophisticated as that available at my local Spencer's yet? It's 2010, people!
