It’s rare that a playthrough of River City Ransom is boring and compared to many modern games there’s a lot it could teach others about game design.
TNS - In a documentary, PlayStation's father Ken Kutaragi recalled how tinkering with an NES made him believe he could build something even better.
Sony approached SEGA and the Mega CD was born. After the Mega CD, SEGA declined a deal with Sony for a 32bit CD console, the Mega Drive 32X was born. Sony went along with the PlayStation or the Nintendo PlayStation.
I appreciate Nintendo’s money loving killing the deal. They didn’t want to give Sony any percentage of money from any games sold so Sony said f it we will make our own console.
yea, the nintendo cd attachment didnt quite work out and sony was like
"yea no lets make our own"
and it worked out for them big time.
Since 1972, video games in the home have been changing pop culture as we know it, but what's the best video game console of all time?
Ok 25 are too many but then again so many consoles have been released throughout the years.
If I had to choose 5, I would pick N64, PS1, Switch, Dreamcast and Gamecube (based on the time I spent playing with friends on consoles).
For home consoles (not handhelds) I have created a mini interactive encyclopedia here as a hobby

Video games have a fascinating history
I'd choose PS1 as my first choice due to the amount of RPGs that were groundbreaking and still hold up well. PS2, SNES, PS4, NES and Switch are the next entries.
I own a PS5, but have not bought a single PS5 game on it, bought it to play my PS4 catalogue with it, but unfortunately the patches are far and in between. At least the sound quality is better than on the PS4 and PS4P, menus and loading faster, and it is silent and the controller is good.
Commodore Amiga CD32 was an amazing piece of kit with the jump from floppy to compact disc it were like witchcraft I'll tell ya
The PS1 was probably the most exciting for me.
SNES, Sega CD, and everything else in the 90's were also very exciting. Just an exciting decade all around with some absolutely fantastic gaming.
Wow, can’t believe they whittled this list down to only 25. I was trying to make a list of the best U.S. states and could only whittle it down to 50.
PS1-5 and the NES are the top 6 consoles. Since Nintendo hasn't done anything different since the NES, the NES is the one to beat.
The top 2 are PS1 and PS4.

Ransom. RANSOM. Also, I agree. This game was so much fun back in the day.
