Description (from Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/td>\n\n

The best-selling gaming console of its time, the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983. With the NES, Nintendo introduced a now-standard business model of licensing third-party developers, authorizing them to produce and distribute titles for Nintendo’s platform.<\/p>\n

In 2009, the Nintendo Entertainment System was named the single greatest video game console in history by IGN, in a list of 25. It was judged the second greatest console behind the Sega Dreamcast in PC Magazine’s “Top 10 Video Game Consoles of All Time”.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
