Most influential system (and why)

PS1

Me thinks NES era gaming was still seen as mostly toys for kids spend time. If things were kept as they were during NES era I don't think gaming would be as big as it is now

Simply put, newly games based on NES design are "retro" i.e. trying to capture older audiences with nostalgia

Games based on PS1 philosophy in other hand still push gaming forward, trying to capture new audiences

Conversely, 2D games trying to capture new audiences/pushing gaming forwards seems to be mostly based on old PC games, not NES games. They are generally simulators, CRPGs, 4x Strategy, RTS, Immersion Sims, and even Roguelikes

I honestly think NES is an object from the past, but this is me lol
