mrcat1990 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Xbox 360. Struggling to love my Xbox One whereas my 360 was an absolute joy. N64 a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotbawmad Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 N64, it has a lot of games that have really stood the test of time and would feature in most top 10's. There is good consoles, which people seem to forget. Mainly Turbo Grapx16, Neo Geo AES and Sega Saturn. I was actually playing some Radiant Silvergun on the Saturn earlier, which is probably the best shmup of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groaninjock Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It's between the original GameBoy and the PS1 for me. I've owned Spectrum +3, GameBoy, PS1, PS2, PS3, GameBoy Advance, PS3, Wii and 3DS. Nintendo do the better handheld consoles, Sony the better main consoles. I don't think the later PS consoles have matched the fun factor of the original - games might be more realistic, but they're not necessarily better. Master League mode on Pro Evo alone puts the PS1 right up there. But in terms of hours played and pure enjoyment, it's the GameBoy for me. A solid library of games, some stone-cold classics. Zelda, Mario, Tetris, Micro Machines... Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Pc is my favourite games machine, the variety and depth of the pc games were fat beyond what was available on console at the time. Still is, just not to the same extent. Half life, tie fighter, doom/quake/Duke nukes, monkey island et al As for consoles, it's a tough choice between ps1 & snes for me. I'd probably go for the ps1,because that was mine, where all the consoles before had belonged to my brother. Games I loved were tekken 2/3,colin mcrae rally, ff7, metal gear solid, parappa the rapper, crash bandicoot. The demo disc that came with the psm magazine was also shit hot.

Quentin Taranbino Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 NES by a mile but I couldn't see an option for that. That system revolutionised console gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliced Bread Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Sega Megadrive, got mine in 1991, still works perfectly, I still play quite it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk89 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sega Gamegear would take my vote, where it all started for me (console wise) in the early 90s, first proper console was the Playstation though got it at Christmas in 1997. Stayed loyal to Playstation's since then, had an Xbox and Xbox 360 as well but they have never really captured my imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 N64 for Mario Kart, Goldeneye and the Pokemon games when I was a bairn. Can remember the order in which I got my games for it, I was that obsessed (Lego Racers, Fifa 99, F1 Racing 97, Mario Kart, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium) Gamecube and Gameboy Adv SP come in 2nd and 3rd, the Gamecube was so underrated. Xbox360 and PS2 have been the consoles of uni so they'll make up the top 5. The other ones that I've had that don't make it are the Wii (not enough decent games), the DS (too gimmicky, the best games I had were games I already had on N64) and the Snes (probably a great console but I got it after my N64 and it was a bit broken and I couldn't be arsed with it).

Mr Sugden Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 N64 for me Mario Kart 64 Goldeneye Zelda ocarina Wave Race Pilot Wings My top 5 console games - I've owned all the main consoles and nothing touches them for playability. Have a PS3 and an Xbox One but I only ever play emulators now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 SNES just edges out N64 for me. The dreamcast was an absolutely wonderful machine too. Let down by it's lack of software but a lot of what was released was fantastic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The Megadrive and SNES were both terrific machines with a great software library. Megadrive just edges it for me, as I can remember enjoying the games I had on it slightly more than the SNES, and it was a wee bit more stylish too. Dropped out of the consoles after that because the first generation of 3D consoles looked appalling to me. The N64 had so many games like Turok and Superman that were hobbled because the machine wasn't powerful enough to run them, and the Playstation looked like a blocky pixellated mess. I know people like to jump on the latest tech just because it's new, but 3D could have done with waiting for more powerful machines. Everything from that era looks dreadful now, and it didn't look any better back then either. Funny to think there were actually people wanking over Tomb Raider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallo_Madrid Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Loved my SNES as a boy. I'd spend hours on it. However, PS4 has been by far my favorite console. Purely on the basis of the games I've played since I got it at Christmas. The Last of Us, Alien Isolation and Bloodborne (onto my third play-through). All excellent. Picking up Witcher 3 next which, again, has had tremendous reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games like crash bandicoot and final fantasy 9 looked fantastic cause they knew the consoles limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny to think there were actually people wanking over Tomb Raider Judging the N64 on games that werent great seems a bit odd when you consider the some of the other titles, like Super Mario, Goldeneye, Ocarina, Perfect Dark, Rogue Squadron, Mario Kart. Every console has its share of awful games. Im not sure I could pick a favourite, to be honest. Every console Ive had was, pretty much, played to death at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every console has its share of awful games. I wasn't, honest. They were just the first two that sprang to mind that needed to have that "fog" thing to cover up the console's inability to render the scene at a decent framerate. Wasn't the original Turok supposed to be quite good, anyway? I think anyone who'd played Doom or Duke Nukem 3D was pretty confused about why Goldeneye was such a big deal, as it was pretty poor in comparison. Aside from that, the best games on the system seemed to be all Mario or Zelda, which have always been complete anathema to me. That combined with the immature 3D rendering just put me right off that whole generation. That's all. Best games machine to date has to be the modern PC, as you can play any of the old games up to and including the PlayStation 2, along with most of the modern releases as well. Ye cannae wack that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
