Abso-fucking-lutely. It's got all of classics. No console has yet matched that baby.
Ah, but had it not been for the Atari 2600, the Nintendo would never have existed.

Good for it. But it still doesn't make it the best console ever. Just a predecesor to the greatest console ever.

Ah... ^_^ The SNES+Genesis era was a golden age for consoles. =D

How many games did the SNES have compared to how many the Atari had?

Well, meh. The SNES had *better* games. In fact, I think there was even an "Atari Revival" style cartrige or two on the SNES that had a couple dozen old Atari games you could play. No slight to the last holdouts of the classics, of course.

It came out in the hey day video games. Yes, new better platforms have come out since, but I had so much fun in those days.

Back then games, came in boxes full of souveniers, maps, and well written manuals.

Amen to that.

You could play quick and easy plug-n-play cartridge games, games on tape or games on disk.

It also had my absolute favorite video game, Crush, Crumble & Chomp
