Hipsters, get off of that PS3 and Play some Atari!
Let me just say why I didn't write those past days. I was on holiday and trust me, it was 15 pounds for a internet Wi-Fi card for three minutes, and that wasn't worth it. But I'm back. So today there is a ton of Game Systems like Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and so on. But what have people missed from the 20th Century? What do people underestimate? So, right now, here is the top 10 old game systems.
1) NES by Nintendo
There is a huge library of games for this. You see retro games which you can search for and play free online like Ghosts N Goblins, but they never save and often are not the full game. So you get this - The NES. It has such great games such as Castlevania, and a simple plugin with a nice controller. It is only 16 bit or 8 bit games, but graphics do not mean anything. This is better than Wii.
2) SNES by Nintendo
What happens when you take the NES and add better 32 bit graphics, better music and awesome games? You get the SNES! This was even so good some called it the Super Nintendo, or the original Xbox 360. The controller has a nice design and new L and R buttons which were new in the time of it. It now had four buttons and a better D-pad.
3) The Original Xbox by Microsoft
No, you idiots. The Xbox 360 was actually a sequel to this. I am actually surprised people missed this great piece of technology and just went straight to the sequel, the Xbox 360. It had some great games on it like Grand Theft Auto and Driver 3. There were so many good games on this and more than 2 control ports, which was new in it's day.
4) Play Station by Sony
There has been FOUR play station consoles! NES was great but there wasn't four, so this one had to be great. It had such games as Rocky and Independence Day, which had huge glitches and were yet still successful as games. It also introduced shapes as buttons and not letters, and a new thing of the time - video games on CDs. And a new exciting thing then - 64 bit games!
5) Atari 2600 by Atari
This one is the classic one. It had games that were 5 minutes long, which is crazy for the time now but long back then, and classic easy simple games like just "Tanks" and "Golf". The graphics were 8 bit, but that doesn't matter. The games were also amazing, yet somehow managed to keep simple and entertaining nevertheless.
4) Nintendo 64 by Nintendo
64 bit games were new and huge in the time. Although we don't care about graphics, these systems were in graphics wars back then. People didn't care if the game was good, they were all about the graphics and with Nintendo and Sega both in a race of time to beat each other with the greatest graphic games, Sega going for 32 bit they were won - with the 64 bit Nintendo console.
3) Commodore by Micro Computer
It was the end of graphic wars back in the 1980 to 1990's, and here comes computers! A great new invention where if you had one, you were the man! Text Adventure games were taking over, and this was the great new system for them. Kids were ape over this and back then computers were newer than any console now. This was being worshipped by teen gamers!
2) Sega Genesis by SEGA
SEGA had just lost the graphic wars, but they didn't care! Here comes the 16 bit Sega Genesis, instantly growing back the kid and teens to Sega and their games. Graphics were no big deal at that time, and this was amazing 16 bit heaven for gamers. It had amazing Castlevania games and such, making it the new Gamer Holy Grail.
1) Game boy colour by Nintendo
Nintendo didn't care either. The war had ended. Game boy was great, but Game boy Colour was amazing! All your favourite games on a small colour console sounded great, and it didn't dissapoint! It was amazing just the idea of a small portable system and not a huge heavy system. Portable Systems were new in that day, and popular as well.
NINTENDO IS BACK!
