Nostalgic as hell and yet one of the worst consoles ever built. Almost single handedly caused the video crash of the late 70s early 80s. Personally I grew up on the New through N64. Ahh memories. I have a small collection of vintage consoles and games that I mean to grow though collecting vintage gaming stuff is becoming expensive.

If you have a 3DS you should look at picking up the new Zelda game this Friday it's very well reviewed.
