- There were a lot of good developers making video games back in the day, but which one was the best? Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Konami, Squaresoft and Rare are some of the big ones among others. I talk about who is generally considered to be at the top and why.

As a heads up, a lot of you have been telling me that RUclips unsubscribed you for some reason. Thought I would point this out for those of you who want to make sure you're still subscribed. Now, for my usual "games that appear in this video": Sonic & Knuckles (0:08), Contra III (0:20), Super Mario World (0:45), Donkey Kong Country (1:08), Final Fantasy Tactics (1:24), Mega Man X4 (4:25)
Capcom had a home console, I believe @TopHatGaming did a documentary about something it came up
Wow ... Thanks fo thee heads up! Just noticed that ... was wondering why there were so few views so far!!
By thee way - this may be your best vid yet (will need to binge again to make sure, but ...) 💯
🙌🏾 Keep it up, Legend ❣️
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Good call out!
Why does RUclips do this.
You deserve the success bird. Great channel
Dude, not only do you make great retro video game videos, but you are absolutely hilarious! I always enjoy your vids, but even better I end up laughing the whole time! Thanks man. 😂👍🎮
Thank you! I appreciate that and am glad you enjoy them :)
I recently got an N64 and I started banjo kazooie today and theres just something I noticed. There are some extremely modern design sensabilities in that game. Like, for example when you unlock a new ability if you arent at full health bottles will be like "ah fam, I got heals for ya, here ya go." And idk, I just found that so modern compared to a lot of retro games. And other little things like making the platforming slightly easier by making the character snap to the platform if youre a little off, and all those kinds of little touches that make the game just a little less frustrating. I also think its one of the N64 games with a better camera than most.
Not 100% related but I just felt like gushing because banjo kazooie is good!
I appreciate the thoughts. Yeah, there's a lot of attention to detail for a N64 game. The result is a game that feels really good to play.
When talking about the greatness of Capcom don’t forget the Saturn and Dreamcast eras. Arguably even better than their 8 and 16bit days.
Oh, believe me I don't! I love Capcom on Saturn and Dreamcast.
Nothing like a good friday retro bird video after work
Good to hear!
I must say, as a long time (10+ years) viewer of the retro gaming scene on RUclips, your channel has kept me so entertained since I found it a couple days ago and I love the content. The subtle comedy is great & I def can’t wait to see more of your content!
Thank you! I really appreciate that and I'm glad you're enjoying it :) Much more to come!
Nintendo is my favorite developer for sure, even today. Next to them I’d say RareWare
I would agree. Capcom wasn't bad at all though, Mega Man was top notch.
Agreed
Namco is my favorite because the Tekken and Ridge Racer series. This was Namco before they merged with Bandai. Tekken 2 through 5 are awesome. Ridge Racer on PSP was my fav.
Even though as an “adult” child at heart, I came to appreciate more game developers like Sega, Capcom, Konami, Namco, Atlus, EA and the list could go on forever. All started with my love for Nintendo. Which still in my humble opinion the best developer in the world. What does my ass knows anyways... it only uses soft doble sheet of paper. :)
I like the song lyrics at the end of each episode. Quality editing as well!
Hudson and Compile for me. PC Engine FTW
Hudson on the label, quality on the table. Soldier Blade is the greatest vertical shoot 'em up of alltime.
Tons of solid shoot 'em ups from those two :)
@@FeralInferno bithead1000 approves of this comment
I loved all the Developers you mentioned but for me personally, EVERYTHING Working Designs brought over here was just amazing. Lunar and Lunar 2 are my all time favorite games. The games Working Designs brought out on the Playstation, Saturn, and Sega Cd are just INCREDIBLE. I miss them so much. Victor Ireland truly was so passionate about bringing games over here we never would have gotten otherwise. The greatest artistry and packaging and for a normal price. They are number 1 for my collecting Goals. Trying to find Popful Mail, The Arc The Lad collection, and the Sega Ages Collection next.
I wouldn't consider Working Designs a developer though. More of a really good localization team.
@@RetroBirdGaming Very true. They were a Publisher but they did alter things and anything that has that Pink label screams masterpiece but I hear ya. I felt Working Designs spoke for small developers such as Game Arts/team Alex and others that couldn’t get their game over here.
Oh, they are heroes to the retro gaming world for sure!
This son of a barnacle, agrees with all developers who tried and gave us a diverse selection of games to choose from. Back in the 90's, we had many new great games to choose from. However, only a few chosen remain the classics of today. SEGA/NINTENDO??? You decide... I miss the days of yesterday... Thank you for another awesome retro game based video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man I've been watching your videos since I've discovered this channel and I agree with all of them. Great work.
Thank you! I appreciate that but it's okay if you stumble across one that you don't agree with :)
So glad you mentioned Treasure! They were Sega's Rare Ware.
They paired really nicely with Sega indeed :)
Although its aged poorly, I'll still have to tip my hat to Atari for great arcade games and lots of the first home games.
Yeah, and some of their arcade games are still fairly well-liked too.
Atari didn't even develop most of their games, they just put their logo on them
@@johnnyslokes2712 they licensed a lot of games that people think of like Pac-Man and space invaders during the 2600 era. But this is no different than what Sega and Nintendo have done before too. They did create plenty of hits themselves such as Asteroids, Missile Command, Centipede, and Crystal Castles.
@@jonstoll8278 Atari was just notorious for it
Another excellent retro chat and i always like what he has to say. Deserves far more subs tho. Im gonna promote his videoson all my retro facebook channels that im a member off and everywhere else. Good one retro bird.
Glad you liked it and thank you! I appreciate that :)
I'm going to take the ultimate fence sitting approach here and say, all of them. If I didn't get the desire to play different games and genres then I wouldn't have the collection I do. Of the ones you mentioned, I like and appreciate them all.....equally. probably why I always spend a good portion of time just trying to decide what to play lol.
Nobody can force you to not say "all of them", so I don't blame you.
Really appreciate the Sonic & Knuckles footage. If we're talking about retro developers, I'd have to give a shout-out to Naughty Dog for the original Crash Bandicoot games.
The Crash games were pretty huge in the late '90s.
So had an idea for a video for you. You could do one about condiments for video games. So things that accent a game like I found a Mario Galaxy preorder coin and put it next to my official game guide for the game. Anyway might make for a funny video of you putting ketchup on games or something lol. Thanks again for all the funny videos man!
Hmm, perhaps things that supplement your games. Things that make the game-playing experience better. I'll have to think on it but thanks for the suggestion :)
Aww man, you made this easy. Nintendo, of course!! So many mainstay series like Mario and Metroid that spanned MULTIPLE systems, the early Black Box games on the NES, and let’s not forget Earthbound! But as far as other developers, my favorites are Capcom, Rare, Sega, and Konami. So many developers to choose from. Btw a few others that I think sometimes go under the radar are Acclaim, Data East, Tecmo, and Hudson Soft. Favorite toilet paper before the pandemic? The kind that I bought for $0.69 at Kroger. Now no 🧻 is cheap, so probably Angel Soft.
Acclaim was hit or miss , or perhaps Akklaim 😼
I would list exactly the same ones you did, though! Plus Working Designs (I think that counts, though they are more translators/importers than developers - but so good at what they do) , which along with Hudson & Data East, are probably thee most iconic for me and my childhood
Your last point is an excellent point! I've wondered about this many times, as I have seen people liking one game or another in a genre, console, etc. Most people haven't played but a couple hundred, or maybe 1,000 games in their lifetime. So how would a person like that truly know the BEST in a given genre, UNLESS that was the main preferred genre?
For me, I've played probably over 9,000 games, and finished 4,500, but I STILL haven't played every game for every genre. For some, like run n' gun games, shooters, etc., I actually have played most or all of the that were released for the US, but I can say, with fair certainty, that most people have not. So with that stated, you should do a video about how MANY games a person has played and also finished.
Sunsoft made some amazing tech-pushing games on the 8 and 16 bit systems. Blaster Master, Fester's Quest, Spy Hunter, the Batman games, the Final Fantasy Adventure games (I know, I know... those were re-releases of the SaGa series...), Journey to Silius, Lemmings, the Looney Tunes games, the Aero games, Flashback, and I'm probably missing more. Blaster Master alone is one of those pulse-quickening games with a banger of a soundtrack and smoooooooth graphics full of color and detail.
Technically Sunsoft just published Flashback, but to be helpful, I'll add:
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Ufouria/Hebereke
Gimmick!
Waku Waku 7
Absolutely. They also did Batman on nes, Batman: The Joker Returns, Mr. Gimmick, and Trip World on gameboy. They were masterful with 8 bit hardware.
Sunsoft really helped round out that era of gaming with some solid stuff.
nobody can forget Titus and the masterpiece of a game Superman 64 lol
Sure we can. See? I just did it again.
Titus. A real titan of a game developer.
Wonderful video as always and you hit the nail on the head as far as who some of the best developers were. I want to give some love to two of the true underdogs though. Sunsoft was absolutely incredible during the NES era! Blaster Master remains one of my all-time favorite games and they made plenty of other great games with some of the best music you will ever hear! And secondly, Monolith Soft has created some of the finest games ever in Xenogears, the Xenosaga trilogy, and Xenoblade Chronicles. There aren't many games that I feel could go toe-to-toe with Chrono Trigger when it comes to all-time greatness but the third Xenosaga game is on the same level and that is saying something!
Loved the video, loved the editing, loved the loved and loved you ... wait what!
Great video dude. I feel like the developer Masaya deserves an honorable mention. While they didn't publish a lot of games, they did make some memorable games. Strategy games like Langrisser & Vixen 357, side scrolling action games like the Kaizou Choujin Schbibinman series, Target Earth & Cybernator (the latter 2 being part of the Assault Suit series), and shooters like Gleylancer & Wings of Wor.
Though they're probably probably best known for the manliest video game series ever made.
All the ones you mentioned are awesome!
Capcom by lightyears.
Multiple amazing games in various genres for almost every major system.
The name is synonymous with quality fun.
Nintendo by a mile. Kinda surprised you left Atari and Namco out of the conversation. They were pretty dominant in the beginning of the retro era of videogames. Toilet paper? Electronic Arts sports game manuals, of course.
yeah i agree, something should be said for Atari..
I mean, something was bound to be left out that probably could've been talked about more. Namco got a nod when I showed Time Crisis at least. As for Atari, I just find people aren't as excited for their games these days compared to how historically significant they are. Thoughts?
@@RetroBirdGaming Depends who you talk to, I suppose. The older side of GenX is definitely an Atari and classic arcade kind of crowd.
@@RetroBirdGaming i have an Atari 6 switch hooked up to my tv in my bedroom, i think its one of the best systems i have... i think the key is to show people that what they have seen from Atari, and what was actually available are two different things.. what i mean is, they expect cheap versions of pacman and the dull pitfall game.. but, the reality is quite different (i have a version of berserk that talks lol yes on a 2600).. while ill admit the Atari 2600 is a fossil now, its still really cool IF you have the right games and know how to play them..
2:12
😎👍🏻
Toilet paper?! Waste of money. A dirty sock or one of the dog’s chew toys is how I roll.
Konami and Psytronik get my vote! Konami for the Contra and Metal Gear series. Psytronik for continuing to put out a stream of awesome games for the C64. Charmin.
This is super hard to answer. My first thought was Working Designs but immediately remembered that they never actually MADE a game. They just brought over, localized (putting their distinctive touch in them) and distributed games. After that I thought Konami but then I thought "Okay what name do I see on a game that makes me happy and gives me confidence that it will be a good game?" First thought was Falcom but then Atlus came to mind also.
I'm at a complete loss here.
The best third party developers were Capcom, Konami, and Squaresoft by far. They dominated the market in the 90's and felt like they could no wrong. Now they can barely do right. Although Capcom has gotten better in the past couple of years. Here's hoping Konami and Square follow as well.
Don't hold your breath.. of fire.
@@FeralInferno I see what you did there. Had me going like a pachinko machine.
Yeah, Capcom has been turning things around a bit. Hopefully it's a trend to follow as you pointed out.
There's a lot of devs that made games from which I have great memories of and I still enjoy playing until today. Also there are other developers that I (re)discovered along all of those years of researching and discovering retro games. Not just SEGA, Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft, Capcom, Konami, Namco or Atlus but also SNK, ADK, Renovation, Wolf Team, Sunsoft, Technosoft, Hudson Soft, Toaplan, Treasure, Taito, Pack In Video, Vic Tokai, Bandai, Kaneko, Nichibutsu, Cave, Raizing were all great japanese developers that provided us so much fun.
i agreed with the big names you mentioned like nintendo and sega.. konami and capcom, you even mentioned natsume.. how obscure but i do love wildguns, but i liked Midway, NEC (tg16/pc engine) and Irem (r-type/metal storm (nes)).. also, my favorite toilet paper is banana peels, i found a use for them outside of mario kart 64..
I would love to see a video about Capcom’s Disney games, or just Disney games in general. That’s quite a blu ray collection you have! Very impressive
Yeah, that could be a fun video to do!
Sega and Nintendo are my favorite retro game developers. Many of the games they made are still fun and look pretty good.
KOEI! Maybe not the best, but I've spent more time with their games than any other developer.
I must say all af them! They all have made a whole bunch of great games.
Konami has my favorite games ever, but I have to give mad props to the crew who left Konami & created Treasure! Those games are so different that it seemed each game they put out was a treasure in it self! They influenced me so much so I just had a person hand make me a real Treasure Chest out of wood so I can put in all my Treasure Games in it. Might have to buy it as my kids are always playing with it when they think I'm not looking! Silly Kids my Treasure Chest is for the biggest kid in the house! Arrrhhhh!
Id, Valve, Machine Games and Arkane! Great Stuff, as always!
Sunsoft had a great 8 bit era, but they dropped the ball in the 16 bit era.
Quilton, of course. :D
Team Andromeda is one of my favourite developers. They only made 3 games in their short life time, and all three are brilliant.
SEGA in general from the early 90s to early 2000s was hugely creative, and their games were so fun and unique during this period, especially towards the end.
But all the developers you mention in the video made or still make great games. We're so lucky to have had them making games for us.
LJN has countless underrated timeless classics that need more recognition.
No
Stop the cap
The LJN defender totally agrees with you😎👍
Lolol *insert fry meme here* not sure if you’re a fan or a troll
This comment is intended to turn everyone into angry game nerds.
No my friend, LJN cannot join this chat.
I was straight Capcom growing up, but I have a soft spot for Kanomi. But then super Mario World is one of my favorite games, but I had a sega so Sonic is king. Hmmmmm.
Yeah, it's tough. Lots of good options.
Tri-Ace, GameArts, Falcom, Team Silent, Nipping Ichi Software, Capcom, Konami, Square, Enix, Square Enix, Working Designs, Xseed Games, NIS America.
Sony PlayStation!
JRPGs, Psychological Horror, Mega Man, MGS, Castlevania FTFW!!
Late to the party here, but I have to go with Working Designs! They were absolute juggernauts for the 16 and 32-bit eras, especially if you were a JRPG fan-boy such as myself.
A very difficult question as there were a good number of second or third party developers that released many top-notch classic games. The ones you already mentioned have some of my favorite classic games. I also enjoy games from Intelligent Systems, Taito, HAL Laboratory, Namco, Sunsoft, Hudson Soft, Sony and many others.
If I was forced to choose, I'd probably go with a tie between Nintendo and Sega. During the "Great Console Wars" of the early 90's, both companies really shined with many really great games! Looking back, many of the games in my collection were either from Nintendo or Sega.
I bought a package of single ply last year during lockdown. One of my biggest regrets
For the NES/SNES/GENESIS era, both CAPCOM and KONAMI equally had hit after hit!
I'd have to go with Sega. I like Nintendo too, but Sega was just insane. You never knew what was going to be in the box. Also EA used to be interesting on the Genesis. Populous, Zany Golf, Mutant Football, Haunting, NHL, and more.
What about snk play more shooting games?
Sega by a country mile...for the soundtracks alone. The Dreamcast startup tone sounds like a future that never came to pass...
I'd love to see an episode on Treasure
A few standout developers that immediately pop into my mind are Interplay, id Software, Sierra Entertainment, and Apogee. Konami is especially impressive considering, in addition to being a power-house game developer since the nascency of video gaming itself, they also developed and have maintained the world's largest trading card game franchise for over 25 years.
I like all the different developers because of the different games
I love them all. I want to throw Working designs into the mix, in addition to making some of my favorite games their packaging was amazing.
Idk.. It's hard to choose but I think I will go with kitchen paper
I like the shape of the big rolls and they are comfortable to whipe your hands with :)
My favorite game developers are Nintendo and Capcom. I have so many fond memories from every console generation of playing Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Mega Man. Regarding toilet paper, the large Kirkland pack from Costco is what I use.
Oh man, for me it will always be Konami and Squaresoft, but I guess I will always love side scrolling beat 'em ups and platformers as well as epic JRPG's! Cheers my man!
Squaresoft, Capcom, Nintendo, SNK, Sega and Konami are worthy of top honors.
I like their arcade games shooting
Nintendo, Konami/Ultra, Capcom, Rare, Factor5, Square, Lucasarts... maybe even Acclaim. Cannot remember any bad game coming from them back in the day? Guess i will pick Rare for really being on fire during the SNES and N64 era (but actually also on NES, RC Pro Am, Snake Rattle n Roll...). Also have a soft spot for Factor5 as being that one iconic german developer that really made some great stuff and had Chris Hülsbeck on board...
My favorite toilet paper is sold here in Japan. It's the Tom and Jerry brand. Yes, the cat and mouse are printed on toilet paper here. It also smells like fruit if you can imagine that.
Sounds awesome!
Nice video, and its too dang hard to choose one especially the earlier generations as it seems we are talking the 80s and 90s(and as I watched your video and thought..yea I can't choose one and I ain't even gonna try). I can tell you what toilet paper though, I use old LJN instruction manuals. If I can only figure out what to repurpose these cartridges in to now, I sure as heck ain't gonna play em.
I really have so many good memories playing snes and mega drive. Playing them now I just don’t get the same feelings. I’m really glad the mini consoles exist they are great value
TP: I love Charmin, just so soft, ya know?
Games: I grew up owning Nintendo, while playing Sega at friend's houses. As Sony got into the mix, I got into the playstation, the PS2, skipped the PS3 for the Wii and then got a PS4, still gonna wait to get the PS5. I have a Switch of course. I've owned all Nintendo consoles at some point. Currently, I own: a DS lite, a GBA, Gameboy, a GC, a Wii, a Wii U, a Switch, and a New 3DS. Some of the systems I don't own anymore are: SNES, NES, N64, Gameboy Color. Thanks for the great video and for giving me the chance to go on about games :D
Capcom and the 6 original mega man games will forever be legendary to me add in duck tales and chip and dale. You start to see Capcom knew when to "fire on all cylinders".
If that NES cartridge had a purple label, you knew you were in for good stuff.
I love them all tbh Konami changed my life with Dance Dance Revolution, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill. Capcom has so many great franchises like Devil May Cry, Marvel Vs Capcom (at least the first few), 19XX, Powerstone. Sunsoft gave us Clock Tower & Astra Superstars. Technosoft gave us Thunderforce. Namco gave us Pac-Man, Galaxian, Splatterhouse, Soulcalibur. Sega, which is my heart gave us OutRun, Space Harrier, Streets of Rage, The House of The Dead, Cyber Troops Virtual-On, Super Hang On, Samba de Amigo.
Here's a couple of my favorite developers/publishers, though I'm sure I'll add more to list as I continue playing numerous retro games for the first time:
Rare
Hudson
Treasure
Atlus
Nintendo
Lucas Arts
Midway
Activision
Acclaim
Awesome vid and yeah I was very close to passing out waiting for you to get to Sega 😅. I've got to go w/Sega...and Nintendo as well for the best games, they both had volume, variety, and quality. Capcom, Treasure, Square, Konami, SNK, Technosoft, and Irem all made a ton of classics as well. For tp, well it's all about the Charmin...life is too short for bad toliet paper 😅
Sounds like a t-shirt idea to me! "Life is too short for bad toilet paper".
Not my favourite, but Konami seemed to provide the greatest variety on both the Genesis and SNES, so it feels like they really need to be considered. On theory they did the best job of providing great memories for 90’s kids, regardless of which side of the Nintendo vs Sega battle you found yourself on.
My personal choice is Nintendo based on sheer variety and quality, followed by Rare and Treasure for pumping out the most optimized games for the SNES and Genesis respectively.
Thanks as always for a great video.
Great video as usual! Quick question…. Did you clean each one of your cartridges as you collected them? They look super clean. Meaning no stickers, residue, sharpie, etc…. Or are they your childhood games just well preserved?
Whenever I add a game to my collection, I'm usually pretty particular about what condition it's in. It doesn't have to be perfect, but just nothing too noticeable.
Compile and Toaplan are great for sure! :)
I live in a house from the 40s that has a really small toilet paper holder built into the wall. I've been looking for the holy grail of budget tp that fits the slot but doesn't feel like sandpaper.
Growing up, it was Nintendo and Capcom for me.
Kirkland is by far my favourite developer. Great TP and fairly priced at Costco.
If PC games counted, Lucas Arts would definitely be up there. Midway and Namco knew how to make arcade bangers.
I like the toilet paper that's still on the roll the best
Konami, Capcom, Square, Nintendo
Level 5 deserves a mention.
Level 5 would miss his 80's 90's cut off. But 2000's up, they are amazing.
Sega, Nintendo, Capcom, Hudson, Konami, Treasure, Square, Core, Naughty Dog, Tecmo, Data East, Jaleco, can go on and on as they were truly great, dedicated, imaginative, hard working teams that all made games without relying on patches LOL.......Scott Tissue (1000 sheets per roll) I’m not cheap, just frugal.
And LucasArts
1. Konami
2. Nintendo
3. Sega
4. Capcom
5. SNK
I think it's Nintendo by a huge, huge margin. In a distant second place.... Konami. Honorable mentions to Hudson Soft, Taito, and TECMO.
A lot of people will probably try to pick something slightly off-beat just to be unique, but my honest answers would be Nintendo and Charmin 2-ply. If I had to pick one not mentioned in the video, I'd go with Chunsoft for the early Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior games.
Tough question, I like to play a wide variety games across multiple genres that aren't really comparable. I guess quantity has a quality of it's own as uncle Joe used to say so I'll answer with that in mind. Let's see, I had an Atari 2600jr , NES, SNES, Gameboy, and Gamegear before going PC in '95. I had 5 Mega Man games purchased new over 3 systems so I'll say Capcom. Loved them all. Next runner up would be Nintendo with 4 Mario games over 2 systems. Rarely had more than 2 of any other series.
Definitely Charmin tp, most comfortable and best cleaning, and the dancing bears are a hoot too. And to be parrot 🦜 for game developers, nintendo and sega are my favorites with capcom and Konami being right behind.
As a kid I loved Nintendo, but I also fell in love with Capcom, by getting to know Megaman, then there was Konami too. I got to play old Square / Enix games as a grown up and I would definitely add them to my top 5 developers. As for toilet paper, if possible it is best to take a short shower, this way one needs even less paper.
Short shower / gnome bath \ quickie bidet splash splash
My favorite toilet paper? I will go with anything soft and multi-ply. There's no sense in getting the cheap stuff that chafes (that is, when it doesn't rip)! I much prefer the sensation of wiping with a few sheets of a fluffy kitten over the feeling of using half the one-ply roll of sandpaper and still accidentally tearing it and having a stinky pinky.
LGN is the best as responsible for majority of my memories outside the Big 2. Yeah I loved random games from companies you mentioned but wasn't someone who played them all, I played tons of licensed games.
Even though RPGs are my jam, I'd have to pick Nintendo for their consistent high-quality, creative, and flavorful games that kept changing in style between console generations yet never lost sight of the Nintendo feel. And single-ply, paper-thin, 3 squares. =D
I'm glad they didn't go there, but if they had, I'd have been onboard for a Capcom console.
I like bananas and Rocket Knight Adventure.👍😎
I think I have to go with Nintendo, Sega, & Square. I'd add Working Designs to the list, but they mostly translated and published games that were originally Japan exclusives and didn't do much developing.
Yeah, Working Designs certainly deserves praise in some form or another :)
It’s really hard to say, I have favourite games franchises from every developer 🤔 they’re all great in their own rights
Cottonelle for sure..... 😂
Has ripples for a good satisfying clean and it's soft.
I think one of the best retro game makers have to be Konami, Capcom, and Sunsoft. Konami has some great games with good soundtracks. Capcom does too. I think their mega man games are really good but I think Sunsoft did one hell of a great job with their games. I mean just hear the soundtracks to games like Journey to Silius, Blaster Master, and even Batman! Also they knew how to really push the limits of the NES Sound chip with Sunsoft Bass.
I like Charmin but I also have a bidet. My favorite would have to be Nintendo with Midway being a close second for bringing Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam to the world
Prob SEGA, Atlus and Capcom. Badass developers
Konami because of Castlevania IV and Cybernator on the SNES and Charmin Ultra Soft (blue packaging) hands down.
Ocean qnd Gremlins made great C64 and Amiga games. Showing my age 😁
