- The old Nintendo wont be well supported for much longer, you
- are better off with an SNES of Genesis. These two have the best outlook
- for support, even though the Genesis has not had many great games released
- recently. There are plenty of older games that are excellent though.
- The GameBoy is roughly the same quality as the NES, but with the LCD screen,
- the graphics can be hard to see, especially in dim light. On the plus side,
- it can go a very long time between battery changes, because non-backlit LCD's
- use little power. I personally have Genesis, SNES, NES, GB, and Lynx, and
- only the NES goes mostly unused. SNES and Genesis give me the best choice
- of games, The Lynx gives me high-speed color portability, and the GB can
- endure long travels without the hassle of carrying extra batteries.
