Defunct Games's video: Electronic Gaming Monthly s Top 10 Video Game Consoles of 1991

1991 was a great year to be a gamer. We saw Street Fighter II become a surprise success at the arcade, single-handedly birthing an entire genre of competitive fighting games; the Genesis introduced 16-bit gamers to Sonic the Hedgehog, ToeJam & Earl and the entire cast of Streets of Rage; and, most importantly, the Super NES launched in North America, signaling the official start of one of the greatest system wars of all time. 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 1992 Video Game Buyer’s Guide, where Steve, Ed and the rest of the Review Crew rated all of 1991’s hottest consoles. Join me as I parachute into the front lines of the system war and count down Electronic Gaming Monthly’s Top 10 Game Systems of 1991. 0:00 – Introduction 1:16 – Commercial: Game Gear (U.S.) 1:47 – Sega Game Gear 3:34 – Nintendo Game Boy 4:58 – Sega Master System 6:31 – Atari Lynx 8:19 – Nintendo Entertainment System 10:10 – Commercial: Super NES (K-Mart) 10:43 – SNK Neo Geo 12:16 – NEC TurboGrafx-16 14:04 – NEC TurboExpress 15:42 – Super Nintendo Entertainment System 17:24 – Sega Genesis 19:33 – Commercial: Sega Mega Drive (Europe) 20:04 – Question of the Day Join our brand-new Discord Server: https://discord.gg/6pCvtET Defunct Games is on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/DefunctGames Defunct Games is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/defunctgames Defunct Games is home to thousands of reviews, articles, comedy pieces, podcasts, features and more: www.defunctgames.com
