Recap, and game library lists of the great systems we've covered so far!

As the title states, this is just a recap of the systems we've touched base on, as well as links to the vast libraries of games which came out on all of these systems during their multi-year reigns.

First off, we have the original Arcade games, there really are too many to include all of them, so I will just post the VAPS (Vintage Arcade Preservation Society) top-100 ranked games list URL:

Then came Magnavox Odyssey, which flopped before it really got started, but still should have a game library listed too. However, it was responsible for Pong's release to the masses, and the craze that followed:

The Odyssey only had 28 games released on it before it flopped.

Next we go to the Atari 2600:

This link also provides great little tidbits of information on a few of the games.

Next, to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) (Famicom) I know this list is Wikipedia, but is a very complete list complete with release dates and developers:

Then under 16-bit revolution we had the Sega Genesis and Super NES:

Sega Genesis titles, which totaled a staggering 986 titles!

Super NES games, there are some overlaps as developers for the first time began developing games for two consoles at once, 725 SNES games released in North America, according to GameFAQs:
