Well, through the Super Nintendo, anyway. I wasn’t really playing games then, so I’m woefully unable to identify most of these outside of Mario Bros. and some of the arcade ones, but I still enjoyed every minute of this video. Maybe someone will make one for my generation of gaming (i.e., N64-Xbox360, heh), though I don’t think there’s as much nostalgia for current-gen consoles as for the 8- and 16-bit ones. At least not yet. Someday maybe we’ll be all “hey, remember when we played games on a screen? With a box with buttons? How quaint!”

Awesome! Oh the memories….. I can name pretty much all of those, although we never had many of those consoles when I was little, only the Master System and home pong – I had pc-lites like the Acorn Electron and Amiga 500. I just remember playing the bigger consoles at friends’ houses or reading about them in magazines.
