GameKing Video System

The GameKing Video System is a Eight Bit Video Game Console created by Cosmos in Late 1984.

History
The Idea for the system began around mid 1982 where Cosmos Electronics was considering releasing a Video Game Console to compete was Atari and Mattel, Other than the Arcade Cabinets Cosmos had already made a Video Game System with the VideoPlayer100 but despite that selling around 9000 units it was just a Pong Console and wasn't to popular, But in Mid 1982 Cosmos began making plans to develop a Interchangeable Cartridge Based Video Game Console, During the Video Game Crash of 1983 Process slowed but the project was still being worked on in the background, By around March of 1984 the System and its Three Launch Titles were done and ready to be shown to the public, At the 1984 Summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago Cosmos showed off the GameKing Video System publicly for the first time, People were impressed but also doubted its success saying that "The Future of Cosmos is in Question" - Chicago Tribune, After a couple of tweaks Cosmos released the GameKing Video System on November 23rd 1984 on the East Coast of the United States followed by a release in the rest of North America, Unlike what a lot of people expected the System was a success with over 8 Million systems shipped by the end of the holiday season, The System would sell over 56 Million consoles by the end of the Console's lifespan lasting from 1984 to 1994 spawning franchises such as Cap Kid and Warriors of Windfall which would become infamous.
