The 8-bit machine that rebuilt the American video game industry after the 1983 crash. Launched in New York City on October 18, 1985, the NES shipped with a lockout chip, the Seal of Quality — and a legendary library that made Super Mario, Zelda and Metroid household names.
Nintendo's 16-bit titan landed August 23, 1991 with Super Mario World in the box. Mode 7 scaling, the FX chip, and a golden era of RPGs made the Super NES the console where 16-bit dreams came true.
The gray brick that started the handheld revolution — July 31, 1989, Tetris in the box, four AA batteries in the back, and a pea-soup screen that somehow ate 15 hours of your bus ride. 118 million Game Boys later, the world still hasn't put it down.
