SNES
Considered by many to represent the Golden Age of gaming, quality games such as the Donkey Kong Country series convinced many that the newer 32-bit consoles had little to offer over the SNES and helped to make it the best selling system of the 16-bit era.

Nintendo 64
Although not as successful as the SNES before it, the N64 gave us some of the most memorable games of the 90's. Super Mario 64 is one of the finest adventure games ever made and Goldeneye 007 changed what we expect from multiplayer shooters.
