What would you say is the best system you had as a young kid....i remember i had the atari when i was 3.

Commodore 128. That thing was fabulous. It got eaten by a computer virus, imagine that (I think it was a computer virus, at least).

I've didn't have any consoles when I was a kid.

i Have to Say SNES.

N64 for me, played with it for so many hours as it was the first console I ever owned. Had to go to my friend's or cousin's house to play video games before I got the N64.

Genesis for me. I was able to beat multiple games and not get tired of them. It also still has some of my favorite games such as Shining force, Streets of rage, Golden axe, etc. I still play it from time to time.

Since my friend owned a SNES, I consider that to be the console I played the most, and by that definition, it's my favorite console.

The Mega Drive/Genesis is the close second.

The Sega Mega Drive was by far my most loved console of all time. It has just been outclassed in all aspects by the PS2 though, which is undoubtedly the greatest game console ever made.

The Sony Playstation. I used to think everything about the games on that system were amazing. One time it broke, and someone suggested that I get the new Nintendo 64, but I was like psh, screw that, I'm gonna get a new Playstation.

My how things have changed.

Didn't exsist when I was a kid but my favorite is the 3DO and Dreamcast.

SNES - My mom picked one up for me on christmas when i was 4yrs.

Reminds me of how I got into all this... I got a Master System for Christmas when I was 4 yrs old. It had some good stuff but I still reckon the MD is where the party was at.

I have had most of the systems at one time but for the money 3DO and DC are the best. Next would be Genesis.

Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Sega Saturn, and Sega Dreamcast. Do you see a pattern?

Is is unfortunate that this pattern will not continue. Even their games aren't selling so well any more.

I never owned a console as a kid because they never existed then, and if they had, we couldn't have afforded one. In fact I've never owned a console until last year when my mother found an old SNES and I fixed it, but it got misplaced when I moved most of my stuff to the new house.

So with the exception of emulators, how did you play any games??

SNES, Genesis, Gameboy, N64, Playstation, Dreamcast.

In that order.

SNES for sure.

Tossup between Snes/PS1 and DC/PS2

K'Dash Gameboy is good but its not console, gba is the best ver imo.

Gameboy is a handheld device, because its small and doesn't plug into a Television. But if it did and included a controller would that make it a console for you?

pong
Atari 2600
CBS Coleco Vision
SNES
Sega Saturn
Playstation
X-Box
The "CBS Coleco Vision" was my all time favorite console system, because it had the best graphik from some Arcade games .

Even though I had a Master System first, my SNES was played a million times more. Zelda, SF2, SMW, Sim City(!), Super Tennis, Secret of Mana, Cybernator, Madden, Pilotwings, Super GnG, Mario Kart, Castlevania etc *drools* (zsnesbox is calling)

Totally unrelated but I found a pack of near mint SF2 cards that were given away with some old UK mag, probably Mean Machines. I'll post a pic or two to see if anyone can help me identify their origins.



and here, and here for all 12.

those cards are from mean machines,they came free with an issue which reviewed the japanese release of streetfighter2 may or june91 issue i think

N64 is the greatest system of the 90s...nothing can beat Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye...and dont forget about Super Smash Brothers...

Sega Genesis had all the games.

Sega Dreamcast


enough said

megadrive(genesis) first,snes a close second,then xbox (just because of emulation)

I corrected it for you

as a kid?

The NES, hands down

PC only. And emulators (mostly MAME).

When i was a kid, i liked my sega genesis. now that im older.... i think i prefer my psp

Super nintendo.

Dreamcast by far!

100% agreed.

dreamcast is an amazing console but for me its still the megadrive.

Dreamcast had potential. But it was cut far too short.

PlayStation 2 is by far the best console ever made, simply because of how many and varied games it has.

it was cut way to short,out of all the cosoles i own the dreamcast is still the one i play the most.

soul calibur on dc was never bettered by its sequels.

for me the best console is nintendo family computer or NES on the US hehehe....

because of games like super mario and legend of zelda, total classic

they've all got strengths and weaknesses. as far as pure versatility goes my vote is for the OG xbox. A fully tweaked out xbox can take the place of everything up to the n64. it can be the heart of a arcade cabinet and be a decent linux box to boot. to think you can grab one used for under 100 bucks is a steal IMO.
