Despite hardware limitations, intrepid NES developers were able to make a massive variety of epic shoot-em-ups with gobs of enemies loosing salvoes of missiles and bullets at a hero and—magically—the system handled it all like a champ. Shmups on the NES rarely even experience any slowdown. Amazing!
Since 1972, video games in the home have been changing pop culture as we know it, but what's the best video game console of all time?
Ok 25 are too many but then again so many consoles have been released throughout the years.
If I had to choose 5, I would pick N64, PS1, Switch, Dreamcast and Gamecube (based on the time I spent playing with friends on consoles).
For home consoles (not handhelds) I have created a mini interactive encyclopedia here as a hobby

Video games have a fascinating history
I'd choose PS1 as my first choice due to the amount of RPGs that were groundbreaking and still hold up well. PS2, SNES, PS4, NES and Switch are the next entries.
I own a PS5, but have not bought a single PS5 game on it, bought it to play my PS4 catalogue with it, but unfortunately the patches are far and in between. At least the sound quality is better than on the PS4 and PS4P, menus and loading faster, and it is silent and the controller is good.
Commodore Amiga CD32 was an amazing piece of kit with the jump from floppy to compact disc it were like witchcraft I'll tell ya
The PS1 was probably the most exciting for me.
SNES, Sega CD, and everything else in the 90's were also very exciting. Just an exciting decade all around with some absolutely fantastic gaming.
Wow, can’t believe they whittled this list down to only 25. I was trying to make a list of the best U.S. states and could only whittle it down to 50.
PS1-5 and the NES are the top 6 consoles. Since Nintendo hasn't done anything different since the NES, the NES is the one to beat.
The top 2 are PS1 and PS4.
Holiday Long Read | Retro Gamer spoke to NES vets on 8-bit coding, sprites, and the future of the old-school console
Today we take on the King and Queen of all video games. Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man. With the huge popularity of these arcade games, gave birth to lots of ports in the 80's and still on to this day. That is the impact Pac Man had and still does. Everyone knows who Pac Man is!
tiger heli is still one of my favorites.
Memories of Life Force!
Gun.Smoke was what I always played. Became too much at times with all the enemies and things flying at you from every direction, fun game though.
Crisis force, Gradius 2, over horizon, the three best shooters on the NES for me personally.
Jackal and Guerilla War
