If we're talking home video consoles based purely on bits, it's hard to argue with the sheer computing power that was the N64. Well, if you're comparing it to the original 8-bit NES, at least.

What two cities does Route 66 connect?

It’s a sad truth, but I think now Route 66 is only known by the younger generations thanks to the Cars movies. Personally, I’d rather them not know it exists than have it associated with a bucktoothed tow truck named Mater, but that’s just another cruel reminder...
