I had the NES as a teenager, and it's the best console ever made.  My other childhood consoles were the Atari 2600 and SNES, and neither ranks in my top 5.

I don't love the NES, because I was a child when it released.  Instead, I consider myself a gamer four decades later, because I witnessed the NES when it was a current console.  It's like all those boomers who love rock music, because they witnessed the Beatles firsthand.  Well, I witnessed the NES firsthand.  It is the greatest console of all time, and that's why I'm a gamer.
