OK kids. Today we're going to learn to spell a new word. The word for today is virgin. K A D E T T spells virgin.

LOL! J/P We all know that's not possible when you own a 6GC! I've had my fair share of video games too. Hell I even worked at a game store for about a year!

Talk about not knowing your roots. Why has there been no mention of the Master System, ColecoVision, Magnavox Odyssey, or the TurboGrafx16?

It was just a matter of time before a company introduced a new system. People love new things and nintendo was it. They just filled a void. They didn't start a revolution.

LOL I'm not a NAZI, just trying to inform you.

loosing=losing
intrest=interest
custemers=customers
wen=when

It's OK english must be your second language. I understand.

But no one cares about spell checking when it comes to forums, its not like im writing a report or anything..... And yes it was a matter of time before someone would introduce a console, and nintendo was it, nobody seen anything like super mario bro. 1, it was fresh and obviously made a huge impact on game developers influences.... therefore sparking a new generation of games thus revolutionizing.....

LOL you missed the point. It didn't matter who it was that introduced the next system. The foundation that had been laid by Nintendo's predecessors was rock solid. The decline was due to a lack of new systems and games. You can only do so much with old technology.

How do you impact an influece?
You can impact a developer but their influence is all their own.

How do you kinda go bankrupt?
either you are or you aren't.

No, the founation was weak because the atari 2600 was a bust. People were throwing those things away because no one wanted them. You couldn't even pay someone to take it. They rounded up millions of cartridges and blew them up in the desert. I know that sounds dumb, but it's true. The industry was dead until Nintendo and Mario came out. They single-handedly revitalized the industry and made it what it is today. Sega had the Master System, but it only had like 5% market share. I still think the Commodore 64 rules, because it was the first 8-bit computer ever and it came out in the early 80's, long before the NES.
