Console video game systems or proper consoles? If proper consoles--
Biden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell
Abbott: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)

Biden is a dinosaur when it comes to gaming. Late silent generation and early
boomers like Biden likely do not have a preference. It’s possible he played
Atari, NES, or Commodore 64 with his sons. Abbott is slightly younger, but again
these are people who came of age too early to game themselves. I had SNES and
Sega Genesis as a kid. My two earliest consoles.

I also had one of those limited game boy ice blues that came out. There was this
black kid in the commercial who did something weird with his tongue. This
commercial seemed so futuristic in the 90s and now seems ancient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4S7oy4BlVY

There is a lot from the '90s that seemed awesome at the time, but that looks so
dated now. Some of the ads and music videos are timeless though-- the ones
where they put a huge budget in, not surprisingly. Here are a couple of
samples:

Hard to believe Mick Jagger will tour again at 80! If only I had his energy.
That was a bad ass commercial back in the day. I had forgotten about it, but
used to love it. Almost like a short film.
I also remember the Charter behavioral commercials. They were sad and funny at
the same time. We even used to use the line at the end as a joke. Once there was
a teacher going nuts and the class clown told her, "If you don't get help at
Charter, please get help somewhere."
The teacher then exploded more.

The mentos commercials were also classics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLL8jARrdTQ
