From Power Rangers, Beanie Babies and Napster to frosted tips, dozens of boy bands and dozens of wannabe boy bands, the 1990s brought just about everything, including a video game revolution. We are 15 years removed from the decade dominated by N64, Game Boy and PlayStation but those video game systems and a few others are still seeing heavy use due to their large repertoire of groundbreaking, entertaining and real money making games for the companies selling them.
