What system do you play the most right now?

[Rhindle The Red]

Sorry for the delay. Violent stomache virus. Icky.

 

Anyway, what system are you playing the most these days? Do you still spend most of your time on a classic console or are you up-to-the-minute?

 

Since the poll is limited to 20 entries, I have tried to choose the most likely answers, but click 'other' if you're toiling away on your Bandai Playdia or Fairchild Channel F.

On PC. I like playing The Sims right now.

 

BTW: what do you mean by "gaming quality PC"?

 

"On PC/Mac" would fit better.

Atari 8bit / XEGS, so I choose "Other"

[+5-11under]

Other: Atari Jaguar (Super Burnout, mostly)

5-11under

I take this to mean a computer designed to serve primarily as a gaming platform, i.e., high-end video and sound cards, overclocked processors, extra cooling, surround sound, perhaps multiple controller input and a big monitor.

 

Most of my gaming is done via computer, although I was playing the Vectrex this morning, and I just got a PS2 last week - my first two games for it: Atari Anthology and Gottlieb Pinball Hall of Fame. Classics rule!

[Lord Helmet]

Right now, the 2600, followed by the xbox.

[MaDDuck]

[< Grins!>]

 

Would of been 7800, but I just got a gamecube and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness and I'm HOOOOOOked!

 

 

BTW, I love your poll, I've always concidered a 5200 to be 'other'!

[+FujiSkunk]

The Coleco is seeing the most of my attention right now, thanks to a batch of fresh games I recently got for it. Mmm... Frenzy...

[ATARIeric]

I am playing the xbox mostly with a little FB2 here & there

[galaxy warrior]

i went with other because ive been using an xbox but to play mame otherwise i wouldnt be playing the xbox

[A2600]

Ive gone very portable with the SP!

[keilbaca]

Right now the psone because mind game loves to kick my ass at Tetris Plus (with readjusted laser, had it since 98), then next is the Atari 2600.

[video game addict]

2600 for me.

[8th lutz]

Gamecube. I having been playing lufia in the game boy player. I really haven't played any other games or systems for the last few weeks. It should change after Christmas.

[Room 34]

I know it's kind of early in the polling, but I'm a bit surprised to see the GameCube in the lead among the modern consoles, and when you include the GBA, Nintendo seems to be dominating!

[Lauren Tyler]

I've been on my PC a bit myself, and the Sims are a bit addicting. I'm contemplating, in The Sims 2, creating a neighborhood with a bunch of uber-rich families with all these big homes with all sorts of fun stuff and a big swimming pool.

 

Last night during a bout of insomnia, I tested out my Entombed cart on my Atari 7800, since I hadn't had a chance to play it for awhile after I got it, and it works fine.

[82atari5200]

Xbox and 5200 all you'll ever need.

[JimmydelaKopin]

Sony PS2 for me.

 

What can I say? Between the retro discs and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy and the TM games, when I get the chance to game, I do it on the PS2.

 

It's all about the fun, right?

[sega saturn x]

Most of my gaming is on the DS, but I play a lot of cube and x box too.

[Big Player]

Normally it's a 2600 for me, but since I got a 5200 and Castle Crisis, I haven't been playing much else.

 

I can't believe I had to choose "other" to select the 5200.

[Rhindle The Red]

I can't believe I had to choose "other" to select the 5200.

Well, I had to limit myself to 19 choices (to leave room for "other") and I didn't want to put *all* the Atari systems in there. I tried to choose the ones I thought most likely to be voted for and still have a good variety of choices. I chose the 7800 over the 5200 because this poll seemed to indicate that a lot of people play their 2600 games on the 7800. The 7800 area also has more topics and posts than the 5200 area. I thought *someone* would choose it. Until I can do polls with unlimited answers, there's always going to be this kind of compromise.

[Albert]

I chose 2600, as that's one of the only systems I've been playing lately. In the last few months I've been playing many homebrew games, and just today I was testing the 2005 Holiday Cart. I do need to spend some quality time testing Adventure II on the 5200, though. I also was surprised to see the 5200 omitted from the list of options.

 

As for the number of poll questions being limited to 20, I think I increased that from the default and remember thinking, "Nobody will ever make a poll with 20 answers."

[shadow460]

I'm the lone vote for Nintendo 64. I've built the collection up some, and those games are a lot more time cinsuming than 7800 games.

[Rhindle The Red]

I also was surprised to see the 5200 omitted from the list of options.

Well, I *was* recovering from a stomache bug. Must've messed with my logic circuits. (Yeah, that's the ticket. Blame the bug...)

So can we up the limit?

[Chickybaby]

If no one complained I would put PS/PS2 and XBox/XBox 360 together this way there is room for the 5200.

For the most part both are backwards compatible and it's like putting all the Gameboy systems together. It's also closer in games then say a Nomad and Sega CD even though you need a Genesis to play the CD I was told. Although I am sure someone would argue that.
