Best Second Generation Video Game Consoles

The Top Ten
1 Atari 2600

Had the second longest lifespan of any home video game console. (Longest was the Sega Master System 1985-Currently ongoing in South America) Had some classics that we all remember such as Pitfall, Kaboom, Space Invaders, Pong, SwordQuest, Adventure, Breakout, and various arcade ports

Best console ever invented. Started the golden age of video games. Most successful console ever. Went for 16 years from 1977-1993. Very innovative at its time.

2 Intellivision

At least the Intellivision had more variety of games then the ColecoVision...

Overrated, claims to have better graphics than the 2600...It looks the same to me.

Way better graphics than Atari 2600, much more sophisticated game play too.

3 Vectrex

The Vectrex is hideously underrated. For one thing, it had vector graphics, so you got smooth lines.

4 ColecoVision
5 Magnavox Odyssey 2

Very underrated system. Not as good as the Atari 2600 or ColecoVision, but it's a good system.

6 Sega SG-1000
7 VTech Videosmarts
8 Fairchild Channel F
9 Emerson Arcadia 2001
10 Bally Astrocade
The Contenders
11 Atari 5200
12 Wii

Not sure what 2nd generation is, but Wii is my favorite console ever!

This is 7th gen, not 2nd gen...
