A tie between Sega Genesis (with Sega CD and 32X) and Dreamcast

SNES for old school, X-box for current.

The one and only, NES

I think the SNES is probably the overall best game system of all time. It had the widest selection of good games out of any console in history, and that includes the PS and PS2, who have a pretty weak "good games/crap games ratio overall, meaning that even though there are a ton of good games you have to wade through a virtual ocean of crap to find them. I think the SNES was the only system that had a wide selection of good games over bad ones, and literally had something for everyone. Action, platformers, sports games, RPGs, fighting games, wrestling games.... the SNES had it all.

As for currently, it's too close to call for me between the PS2 and Gamecube, but I begrudgingly give the nod to the PS2 because most of the GC's best games come from Nintendo themselves (as opposed to the PS2, where Sony's "989 Studios" turn out almost entirely crap but their 3rd party stuff is their strength).

Console? Gamecube, but nothing is better than a computer, and cable internet connection. :D

Leo656 07-05-2003 07:29 PM

Maybe, but some of us are reclusive and don't have any interest whatsoever in online gaming and never will.

That's why it doesn't break my heart that the 'Cube isn't online compatible. It's like "who cares?" Can't play Zelda, Mario, or Wrestlemania online after all :D

I can get MGS:TTS ONLY on my 'Cube (add in the fact that Mr. Miyamoto is helping, and Silicon Knights is doing the work on it...), and I can get the GTA games on my PC ;)

For me, its a toss up between SNES, Genesis, and GCN, with SNES in first by a hair.

off topic: there was a game for SNES by Lucas Arts about this kid who had this green puddle of acid/slime/goop/ooze stuff and you were stopping an alien invasion thing..... anyone know what game that is? I loved it, but I can't remember the name.

NES, that robot thing for the NES, SNES, satelite thing for SNES, Virtual Boy (not exactaly a console, but it wasn't really portable), N64, N64DD, and GCN, maybe the Panasonic Q and the CDi, but those dont really count.

I think it was the Atari Jaguar, but I'm not too sure.
