Despite all the things you can do on video game systems nowadays, the primary focus of them is playing games. Games are what truly make a system. And wach console has its own iconic titles. So, what is the very first game that comes to your mind when you think of each console? This could be anything. Could just be due to a game being the highest selling game for that console, or due to it being the very first game you owned for it, or the game you spent the most time with, etc.

Atari 2600: Space Invaders.

NES: Super Mario Bros. The very first one. The beginning of Nintendo as a powerhouse and of the juggernaut series that is Mario.

Master System: Never owned or played on one before, but I always think of Alex Kidd when I think of this system. He was Sega's mascot before Sonic came along even, I believe?

Mega Drive: Sonic the Hedgehog, obviously. The character that once rivalled with Mario and took the world by storm.

SNES: A Link to the Past. One of my all-time favourite games and one of the best of all time. Super Mario World might have come bundled with the SNES, but when I think of the SNES nowadays I think of ALttP.

Game Boy/GBC: Pokémon Red, of course!

Saturn: I'd say it's a tie between 3 games: Virtua Cop 2, Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA CCE. Hard for me to pick one of the trio.

PS1: Well, I've never owned a PS1, but I'd say Crash Bandicoot is the game that I immediately think of when I think of the console. That and Tekken 3.

Nintendo 64: Definitely Ocarina of Time. That was the game I swore for years to be the GOAT. One of the most important games of my childhood. Many other N64 titles were magical to me at the time, but Ocarina was the cream of the crop for my 8-9 year old self.

Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure, definitely.

PS2: Oh boy, this one is very hard. This console had a HUGE library and it's hard to pick a game that comes immediately to my mind when I think of the PS2. I'm going with Final Fantasy X, though. Its commercial left a burning impression in my mind back in the day. Often I think of GTA San Andreas as well.

Xbox: Halo. Easy.

GameCube: Super Smash Bros Melee, obviously.

GBA: Hmm I dunno... maybe Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It was my first GBA game.

360: Halo 3. Easy.

DS: Mario Kart DS. I'd say.

PS3: Uncharted, I guess.

Wii: Wii Sports. That game was rather hot for a while.

3DS: I dunno. This one is tough. Not one game in particular comes to my mind more often than others.

Wii U:.Super Mario Maker. One of the most creative ideas ever.

Switch: Breath of the Wild.

I don't even know regarding the PS4 and the Xbone, tbh.

As for others:

Arcade: Too many arcade games out there, but I'll say Pacman.

PC: Championship Manager/Football Manager games in general.
