I'm guessing you're not familiar with one Ralph Baer.

OT: I have to go with SNES. The golden age of gaming, to be sure.

There can be only 1 and that systems name is: Super Nintendo!

Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

For me, it would have to be the Wii. Being able to play Wii and GameCube games, plus classics I loved or never had a chance to play is awesome. DS would be my #2. SNES - #3. PS2 - #4.

@valen200:

Ralph Baer is the "father of video games", as he created the prototype for the first home video game console in 1966 which would eventually be released as the Odyssey by Magnavox.

That isn't to discount Pong's importance in increasing the popularity of the video game medium, but Baer was the first to envision the games as being played on televisions and making it possible to do so. He also created the first home light gun game. The man was a damned genius of some sort.

EDIT: He began work in 1966, but completed the legendary "Brown Box", which is now on display in the National Museum of American History, in 1968, some four years before the release of Pong.
