The other day, I broke out my Phillips CDI (The Last Great Console) game console, and fired up "Hotel Mario", and could not believe what a great system the Phillips CDI was!

The Super NES was the last great of the greats. While there were other respectable consoles (Sega Master System, etc.) the SNES stands head-and-shoulders above them all. Utilizing the first real Interconsole Connectivity (a system of ideas that is still in employment today) the SNES beat down other companies with its ability to play Gameboy games with its Game-Genie-like Super Gameboy adapter.
Following up from their heritage of "Programmable Games" (excitebike, etc.), The system had Mario Paint, where hours could fall into nonexistance as you try to draw with the only mouse for a console available at the time, and for years to come.
There is so much amazingness packed into this gray-and-purple rectangle (With its own Eject button!)that its hard to see why gaming went and started to depend on graphical capabilities, but there is an explanation in the SNES itself.
Super Nintendo sowed the seeds of its own demise when Nintendo released StarFox with the SuperFX chip built into the cartridge, it was one of the first fully Three-Dimensional console titles, if not The First.

Anything that came before the dreamcast including Coin Ops, SNES, Sega Saturn, (possibly) Playstation, Sega Genesis, NES, Atari 5200, Atari 5199, Atari 5198, etc. Also including but not limited to the Odessy 5000 and before.
There's still a lot of cool games to be enjoyed. Good Graphics and intricate storyline rarely make up for the gameplay.
