...does it get any better? Missile Command, Frogger, Q-Bert, River Raid, Pitfall, Ms. Pacman, ET, Combat, Baseball, Basketball, Football, Chess, Asteroids, I could go on all night.

I think the 8-bit Nintendo edges it out as the greatest gaming system ever, but it's pretty damn close.

The x-dream-station-64s of the last 10 years are trash.

Edit: Oh Christ, I forgot about ET. Nice call.

Did Nintendo have Space Invaders? Also, Atari did not come up with the Power Glove, a feather in their cap if you ask me.

If by "trash" you mean the best systems. N64 = the best.

Elaboration: These systems have become an overdone combination of fancy-ass graphics, virtual reality, and dumb-ass story lines.

The art of creating a video game is dead, and I blame Sega Genesis for starting decline.

That being said, Sega's Taz-mania was one fantastic game, in it's own patheticly exploitive kinda way.

You're 12 or something like that, right? You missed out on a lot of stuff relevant to the argument.

It launched the Tony Hawk series and 1080 Snowboarding, had a ton of great Mario games, and some awesome sports games (Ken Griffey, Blitz). Also, although I hate Zelda, it had some awesome Zelda games I've heard. Best system.

You are all wrong.
