Nowadays we don’t have such choice as it was in 1980’s. It is hard to find good working console with lots of games for it. That era was buried by the appearance of computers. But some time later software developers found out how to make those games work on the computer too. Fortunately, you can find it on the Internet in some clicks. For example, if you want to play Nintendo games, you can search for nintendo ds emulator and enjoy it. And it is great because every gamer loves it and uses such stuff.

In 1990’s there was a race between three major companies (Playstation, Atari, Nintendo) and everyone tried to make something better that other did. Looking back to 1889, Nintendo appeared on the market selling playing cards and then some other stuff. But then they have found themselves at developing consoles and games. And later they have made a breakthrough. People used to buy home consoles and nobody imagined to play games on their way to school, work, home, etc. First handheld consoles were great and even despite the fact that Nintendo has not invented it they made it better.
