No contest: NES. It's the system that made me fall in love with video games.
SNES is a close second, as it had some genuinely AMAZING games, and was THE system to own for great rpgs (still is, in my opinion). But NES just had so much going for it. So many great games, so many great franchises either started or made popular on it, with just a few examples being:
Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Kid Icarus, Excite Bike, Punch Out, Star Tropics, Yoshi, Mega Man, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Double Dragon, TMNT, Adventure Island, Bomberman, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior (Quest), RC Pro AM, Micro Machines, Battletoads, Contra, Wizards & Warriors, R-Type, Bubble Bobble, Joe & Mac, Duck Tales, etc. etc.
And that's to say nothing for great one-offs and quirky titles like: Crystalis, Conquest of Crystal Palace, Monster Party, Totally Rad, Kickmaster, Shatterhand, Metal Storm, River City Ransom, Kid Niki, Faxanadu, Power Blade, Shadow of the Ninja, Rad Racer, Mach Rider, Ice Climber, Bucky O'Hare, Monster in my Pocket, Super Spy Hunter, etc.
