Almost any gamer can look at the block outline of the NES controller and immediately recognize it. The simple looking controller is easily one of the most iconic symbols of gaming out there. Initially released in North America in 1985, this console arrived in the wake of the video game crash that followed before it. A lot of people were passing video games off as just another fad. The funny thing about the NES is that its impact on the gaming world rippled further out than anyone could have realized. For a lot of gamers, this was the start of their love affair with games and the source of a lot of solid inside jokes used in adulthood.

D.W. FitzgeraldPublished 7 years ago in GamersThe Best Gaming Console
Some events in your life seem to seal your destiny for many years to come. One such event took place in my life during the 1980's when my father surprised my brother and myself by purchasing us the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). We had played it before at a relative's house, but that does not compare to owning one yourself and playing whenever you want to (or at least when Mom and Dad say it's ok). The fatherly gesture made that day would spark a love for gaming in me that, 30 years later, has yet to let go. Thinking about the time I've spent gaming over those years, I began wondering, what was the best time I had and with what console. For me, this was actually a tough choice between my number 1 and 2 spots, so, because the choice was so close, we'll begin with the runner-up.
