Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Mine is the NES. That was the first gaming console that got me really into video games. When I first played Super Mario Bros. As a little kid back in 1987. It was mesmerizing. Just bashing blocks figuring out what was inside, going along for an adventure, so many great games. I never knew about a video game crash back then as I was too young to understand the concept. If it wasn't for the NES. I truly wouldn't be into video games like I am today.

NeoGeoNinja Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 My top 3 from YOUR list, in order: 1. PS2 2. DC 3. SAT Why the Playstation 2? If you take a Playstation 2, have it region modded so that it will run US, JPN & EUR titles, you have the console with the biggest and most diverse library ever. Not only that, this also - by definition - includes/absorbs the Playstation 1 library as well! I would estimate that between the PS1, PS2 and all the varying regions - all played via ONE console, I have around 400+ unique titles (75% PS2 vs 25% PS1) And, although it's purely a matter of opinion... I don't buy crap for the sake of buying/filling shelves Of course, my favourite console, NOT featured on your list... is *** Drum Roll *** the NEOGEO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willard Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) varies from day to day for me Sometimes I want to play an 8-bit game, sometimes a 32-bit game, if I've played all the games I like on one platform I want to play games on another. For some reason no specific system really is a go-to system for me. They each seem to have their own distinct character.

BassGuitari Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 From your list, these are my favorites: Atari 2600 Atari 8-Bit Atari 5200 Nintendo NES Atari 7800 Nintendo SNES Sony PlayStation Nintendo 64 Sega Dreamcast In fact, these are some of my all-time favorites anyway. But even the ones that didn't make the cut have at least one or two games I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+madman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Wow, I think it would be impossible to pick just one. Consoles I've spent the most time on in my list: NES, SNES, PSX, N64. All of which were before I got into the "real world", so it's probably not a fair comparison to newer consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 1. Atari Jaguar 2. Atari Jaguar CD 3. Atari Jaguar w/CD unit attached 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Crap I totally forgot about that! Wow, I left out a lot of consoles, sorry 'bout that guys. Yeah, and the TG16/PCE too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) From the list:Jaguar: love the 3d of Iron solider, Cybermorph, I-war and such, and other fun little games as Brutal, Breakout and so on...Jaguar CD: just (a little bit) more of the same but even better graphicsN64: like the 64 era, and it delivers it; has the same amount of good games as Jaguar, circa 20-25 titles = great. 2600: for the stylistic games and intensive 5-10 minutes of repetitive point hunting!Genesis: maybe 10 good games = decent, worth owning and play every five years.Also, like the "made in the USA", since I generally "hate" manga/anime and all the Japanese hegemony in gaming nowadays and backwards. (And NES is soooo boring to play today, sold it recently and will never look back!) Edited April 23, 2015 by Atlantis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MacRorie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) My favorite really depends on the mood and peripherals that are available. I am not sure why, but I really dig oddball peripherals. Pure game systems: Atari Lynx - It is the only system I have never sold. Have most of the games for it (missing a couple of more recent home-brews like Relief Pitcher & Hot Dog) Sony PSP Sony PS3 Sony PS4 Atari Jaguar Sony PSVita (Yeah, Sony owns my soul. No really) Atari 7800 (well, really Moto Psycho. I *LOVE* that game. Seriously. I bought a Harmony Cart just to play it!) Sega Dreamcast loved it, but sold it.

LynxJagLunatic Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) The console love of my life was and still is my Lynx. I loved it from the moment I played it. Edited April 23, 2015 by LynxJagLunatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtarinDave Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 The console love of my life was and still is my Lynx. I loved it from the moment I played it. Yeah, I can't stop playing "Todd's Adventure in Slime World" for the Atari Lynx. Also, I'm still trying to beat Batman Returns. 1. Atari Jaguar 2. Atari Jaguar CD 3. Atari Jaguar w/CD unit attached Lol, we got a Jaguar fanboy in da house! Notable Jaguar games: Missile Command 3D Atari Karts Iron Soldier Doom Wolfenstein 3D Alien vs. Predator Troy Aikman Football AFL '95 Football (This game is very rare as well as Atari Karts) Tempest 2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MacRorie Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, I can't stop playing "Todd's Adventure in Slime World" for the Atari Lynx. Also, I'm still trying to beat Batman Returns. For me, it's Shanghai. I have played HOURS AND HOURS of that game. To this day, that's why I like Mahjong games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I love all the consoles I've owned, but have a soft spot for the N64. And my single most favourite console game Crazy Taxi is best played on the Dreamcast. And of course you can only play Tempest 2000 on a Jaguar (",) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KappaGuy99 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I have to say it's difficult comparing my fondness for things like early Ataris, compared to the amount of time I have spent on say, the PS2. My Top 3 in no particular order: Atari Lynx Sega Genesis Sony PS2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
