Top 10: Discover the consoles that marked an era and revolutionized the gaming industry
1. Atari 2600 – The Pixel Pioneer
2. Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) – The Classic of Classics
Have you ever heard of a plumber named Mario? Of course you have! The NES brought this charismatic character to the world of gaming, transforming our notion of adventure with just two buttons: A and B. Who needs more, right?
3. Sega Genesis – The Speed of Sound
If Mario was the king, Sonic was the blue speedster who came running to steal the show. The Sega Genesis made us run at a thousand miles an hour (literally) and showed that games could be an adrenaline rollercoaster.
4. PlayStation – The Future is Here
When the PlayStation came along, everything changed. The cutscenes that looked like movies, the graphics that left us speechless, and a certain Crash Bandicoot jumping around. Cheers to the record that scratched and made us blow until we got dizzy!
5. Nintendo 64 – The 3D Graphics Revolution
With its weird controller, the N64 brought us true 3D gaming. Who would have thought that jumping out of a cannon in Super Mario 64 would be the definition of “live the intense experiences” back then?
6. Dreamcast – Ahead of Its Time
The Dreamcast was a visionary! Even though it was somewhat misunderstood, it brought graphics that were ahead of its generation and the possibility of online gaming. It's a shame that, like all genius, it was recognized too late.
7. PlayStation 2 – The King of Sales
The PS2 is the best-selling console of all time, and for good reason. With a huge library of games, who wouldn't want to spend hours in Vice City or save the world with Shadow of the Colossus?
8. Xbox – The Power of Microsoft
When Microsoft entered the game, it brought with it an online system that redefined how we play online. Halo made us believe that we were Spartans and that saving the universe was just another normal Tuesday.
9. Nintendo Wii – Real Motions
Who said video games were just for sitting around? The Wii got us up, sweating, and even breaking a few things in our living room with its innovative motion control system.
10. Nintendo Switch – The Hybrid Magic
The Switch is a true chameleon: portable and home console. And with games ranging from Zelda to Animal Crossing, it's impossible not to fall in love with this little piece of fun that fits in your backpack.
