This week marks the 51st year of the Consumer Electronics Show, the annual Las Vegas event that sees the biggest names in televisions, computers, virtual reality and even car audio come together and announce the next big thing. If this is the first you're hearing about it, then it's probably because CES doesn't generate a lot of gaming news these days. With E3, Tokyo Game Show and a half dozen other gaming events, companies like Sony and Microsoft tend to use this show to highlight their other products.

But there once was a time when companies like Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Konami, SNK and Data East used to bring all their newest games to the Las Vegas Convention Center to generate excitement for the new year. I went to every Winter CES between 1993 and 1996, and today I thought it would be fun to go back in time and discuss some of the highs and lows. These are my memories of a 16-bit Consumer Electronics Show.
