Man, we've gone off topic already. I know I'll get lynched for saying this, but I think the Commodore 64 was better than the NES. Yeah, they were both rather obscure, but think about it:
Commodore 64:
Maniac Mansion
Wierd Dreams
Super Pro Wrestling
Hit the Slopes
King's Quest
Manhunter: New York
Zork
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Amnesia
NES:
The "special" version of Maniac Mansion
Kid Icarus
Super Mario Bros.
Metroid
Now, you may be thinking "hey, Metroid was WAY better than King's Quest!" Wrong. It was more popular, not necessarily better.
