What are some good recommendations for TG-16 titles? Never played the console before but always thought it was a cool concept.
You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

My brother actually owns one, maybe I should borrow it sometime. For now, it's a tough call between the Neo Geo and the 2600. The former's a 2D beast with fantastic pixel-art graphics, blazing fast performance, and badass arcade action, while the latter has that simple, back-to-basics charm. |
Neo Geo AES should be easy pick...if it doesn't feel a bit like cheating, given that it was designed as repackaged arcade machine for rental purposes.

Well, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I'm gonna class it as a duck haha
Does Commodore 64 count? Not really a console. My uncle had one when I was little and he'd set it up for my brother and me every time we'd go over. Gauntlet, Root Beer Tapper, Arkanoid, Popeye, Load Runner...man such fun times.
"If new things are so great, where have they been the whole time?"
Anyone played on a Mattel Aquarius? I had one with a bunch of cool games. My top 5:
Utopia (my first strategy game), Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (my first 1st person game), Night Stalker, Tron: Deady Discs, and Burger Time.

Well, if we're gonna have home computers as well, then Amiga 500, what is considered probably THE gaming home computer.

There are lots more but here are some of the best:
30,344
Anyone not choosing Atari 2600 clearly wasn't alive (or, old enough to play video games) at the time that system was current. It was, far and away, the most important piece of video gaming hardware ever made. It was a much bigger deal than NES, Genesis, PS2, Wii, or any of those others that made a big splash. None of them even approach it's impact. It really took gaming from something that barely existed, and made it into a mainstream activity. The 30 million units sold of Atari 2600 was about as significant to our hobby as Switch 2 selling 500 million would be. It took gaming up several levels.
And, sure, the OP asked for "best", not most important. But, why do you think the system managed to sell so well? It was among the best things ever made at that point. That's why.
