End of Golden Age of Video Arcade Games: Video Game Consoles: Part 2

It was due to the glut of poor-quality home video game systems, that the video game crash took place in the 1983; that was really big problem. The situation began to get better from the second half of the 1980s.

In the 1985 the Nintendo Entertainment System was released. Thanks to this system, a reasonably good video arcade experience was able to be provided at home. Thus, the Nintendo Entertainment System began to level the playing field.

The role of the Nintendo Entertainment System was later taken by two other home video game systems. They were, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and the Mega Drive. The Mega Drive was known in North America as The Genesis. During the first half of 1990s these home video game consoles greatly improved home play. Some of the technology was even integrated into a few video arcade machines.

With the release of the PlayStation in the 1995 and the Nintendo 64 in the 1996 many video arcade games had gone out of business.
