3rd Generation
The 3rd generation of home game consoles, commonly considered as having began in 1985 with the release of the NES, and ending in the period between 1989 (release of TurboGrafx-16 and Sega Genesis) and 1991 (release of the SNES). Can be considered as the first generation to harness a true potential for the creation of EOPs, as hardware overheads were too restrictive in systems released prior to this period.
