Electronic Gaming Monthly's Top 10 Video Game Consoles of 1990
1581990 was a great year to be a gamer. We saw the continued dominance Nintendo Entertainment System, with hits like Super Mario Bros. 3, Ninja Gaiden II and Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, the Game Boy was leading the charge for handheld gaming and both the Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx-16 were locked in a fight for 16-bit hearts and minds. 1990 also saw new consoles hit the market, including Sega’s portable Game Gear and SNK’s overpriced Neo-Geo. No matter what kind of games you were after, there was a system right for you. But which console reigned supreme? In order to answer that burning question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly’s 1991 Video Game Buyer’s Guide, where Steve, Ed and the rest of the Review Crew rated all of 1990’s hottest consoles. Join me as I go to the frontlines of the system war and count down Electronic Gaming Monthly’s Top 10 Game Systems of 1990.
