I have this idea of making some kind of visual timeline, it would span from 1985 to the present, and show every configuration of console and PC hardware and software that I can recall owning and the associated software of the time. I'd like to incorporate box art for the actual games and images of the hardware somehow.

Any ideas what application to use for a visually impressive looking timeline? There is a site called Tiki Toki that does timelines but it is subscription based. I was hoping to just buy an application outright. Ease of use is essential. Thoughts?

I mean, it depends on what format this timeline is going to take. Is this going to be a Youtube vid type format? If so, then I agree with scojer that PowerPoint is a good choice. On the other hand, is it going to be a visual timeline graphic similar to what I have shown below:

For the 3D infographic style timeline I would probably start by searching for 3D timeline software online. I did a quick search and ChronoFlow looks like something that I would probably look into more closely, if I was in your position. I might even recommend reaching out to the authors of the above article and ask what they used as I think this timeline graphic is really sleek looking, not to mention visually helpful for the intended topic.

I hope that this helps. BTW, your project sounds pretty interesting. Please share it with us once it is finished!
