Top Ten Best Consoles

Atari 2600 is the most well-known model, it is the most common one, and it has the most games made for it. It is also the cheapest one, and the most primitive one when it comes to graphics and sound. The Atari 7800 is equivalent to an NES graphically (well, maybe just below NES), and it also plays the Atari 2600 in addition to the 7800 games.

Check out the Best Nintendo Switch Games for Kids. Best for Tweens and Families: Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3. Both of these are older platforms, but there are plenty of games for them (although not necessarily the latest and greatest).

Buying a TurboGrafx-16. You can pick up a PC Engine of TurboGrafx-16 on eBay for around £70-150 depending on condition.

The Xbox 360 console is an older technology than the Xbox One family of consoles (which includes One, One S, and One X). If you own Xbox 360 games that you want to play on any Xbox One console, backward compatibility is available.

1 Nintendo 64. The system brought many of our beloved franchises (such as Mario, Star Fox, and Zelda) into the 3rd dimension so well, that it's hard to not say that it's greatest system Nintendo has made. It's innovation is in it's technology. All the games I mentioned above helped revolutionize gaming in some way.
