Which of these "modern" consoles is your favorite?

[digitalpress]

Simple question. Answer honestly, and justify if you feel the need to. :fadein:

[6502]

Dreamcast for me. Prior to the DC I had not been "into" video games much since right after the SNES was released. The Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat mania killed my interest in video games which did not return when the 32-bit systems rolled around (I got a PS, but did not play it much).

The DC was the first console that I thought did acceptable 3D graphics. It died early, but in that short lifespan delivered a ton of games that I found highly enjoyable in all genres. It was also my introduction to online gaming (I've never been into PC games), and I probably spent more time playing PSO than any game since Super Mario World.

The DC also happened to come along at a really good time in my life (which I won't get into here), so I have lots of good memories to go with the machine. It was the first time I felt real excitement about the industry since 1989 when the 16-bit systems and new handhelds were introduced. Now that the DC is gone my interest has tapered off again, though I do still have a current console (Xbox).

[NvrMore]

Gamecube. :changes:

Quality over quantity.

I like originality in my games, Nintendo and Sega are two of the biggest remaining developers who are willing to go out on a limb to try new concepts and ideas which most of the other companies won't take a chance on.

It's already got some great games released for it, the upcoming releases look fantasic and are cube exclusives and the little fella packs one hell of a lot of power, many developers having reported that it is actually capable of far more than Nintendo are letting on.

[MankeyMan]

I voted gamecube as well. I agree with what NvrMore said, as well as the future release list looking more solid than anything out there atm. I am also currently addicted to Pikmin. Just planting and growing my little bundles of wide-eyed joy, planting and growing, killing weird stuff and more planting and growing.
Then people (like my parents) want to know why I hate gardening. Well, you can't order the flowers around to attack anything you see. But that would be so cool, having a hundred strong army of huge plants following you down the street.
How did I get from saying 'I like the gamecube' to talking about armies of flowers?

Good God, exactly the same situation for me. My DC library is by far the largest of all five new systems that I own (DC, GBA, GC, X-Box, PS2) for a reason.

[den68]

Dreamcast. It was a toss-up between the DC and PSX. I've logged a lot of hours on my PSX mostly with driving games and puzzle games. The graphics on some of the DC games are amazing (Soul Caliber, Dead or Alive 2) and the variety is great. The DC is a breathtaking beast.

I'm almost ashamed to admit the real reason I picked it over PSX.

uhhh..... okay. House of the Dead 2 :twisted:

I guess I'm just disturbed.

[Astro Lad]

Suffer like G did?

[Arcade Antics]

It just "feels" like the classic video game systems. Tons of fun games, tons of odd games, groovy peripherals including maracas, a fishing reel, microphone, and the obligatory light guns :2gunfire:...

Huge library has more great titles than bad, and offers something for everyone. Plus the console has 4-controller ports built in, and those groovy VMUs to play even more games.

And it even has Mr. Driller AND Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (X)! And Typing of the Dead! And Tennis 2K2, Jet Grind, Mars Matrix, Confidential Mission... What's not to love? :rainbowafro:

[Kidnemo]

Suffer like G did?

heh...

It's a hard decision for me.

I love all the rpg's on the psone, but the DC has such a wacky-fresh library that makes me all tingly inside, woo!

If it came right down to it, I'd probably pick psone by a tiny margian, just for the fact that it has Final Fantasy Tactics...

[Arcade Antics]

I'm almost ashamed to admit the real reason I picked it over PSX.

uhhh..... okay. House of the Dead 2 :twisted:

I guess I'm just disturbed.

If you're disturbed, then what are we? I often play that one alone with both light guns! :lol:

"Eat lead zombie scum!"

[Raedon]

No N64 or Saturn?

(sorry had to)

I voted PS2 as it can play Ps1 games and has some real fun games. I'd like to say GC but I don't own one.. I have a DC and I don't think I've hooked it up sense I got the ps2.

[Astro Lad]

I actually think the Typing of the Dead is better than HOTD2, it's seriously laugh-your-ass-off funny.

[kainemaxwell]

I voted PS2 mainly since I haven't played many of the other modern systems, mainly the X-Box, GC or others. I just recently got into the PSX finally and I'm loving it and the fact that the PS2 is backwards-copatable with it makes it even better for me.

[Felixthegamer]

I am not sure if I like the Dreamcast or PS2 more. I like many of the games for each and it is nice to play psx games on PS2. I really enjoy Sonic Adventure for the dreamcast. I've played it a lot. However, I have many PS2 games I enjoy as well. With all of that being said, I do think with some of the up-coming games the gamecube may come from behind and take over the #1 spot. It is too hard for me to pick only one though!

[SuperPsycho]

I got my Gamecube mainly so I could get Sonic Adventure 2. That and I usually like Nintendo's games.

[den68]

@Arcade Antics: both guns? hmmm, I think I know what I'll be doing tonight.

@Astro Lad: Typing of the Dead is a riot. I like the little Dreamcasts strapped to the characters backs. I just can't type for shit, although I suppose I will if I play enough.

[BHvrd]

I pick Xbox "of course."

It appeals to my gonads, and is just fun, fun, fun. Every game I have played on Xbox gets my blood pumpin, and makes me forget i'm playing a game.

I can't wait till Xbox Live kicks off, Unreal Championship is a game I am looking forward to unlike any other. Oh i've also seen the new Turok game in action, WOW!

To me. Xbox is the spiritual sucessor to the DC as it includes many revolutionary things in the box, without needing to upgrade. "Upgrade" is a word I have learned to stay away from in the console world, and with 4 controller ports, a hard drive, games that appeal to my gonads, and online ready, it has all i'm looking for!

[Captain Wrong]

It just "feels" like the classic video game systems.

You hit the nail on the head. I was out of home gaming from about the time of Sonic 2 to somewhere between Gran Turismo 1 and 2. Though I picked up a PSX first, the DC really won me over and that was the console that put me right back into gaming.

Why? Well, unlike anybody else at the time Sega (and seemingly Capcom if you look at it) wasn't afraid to put out the old fashioned quarter muncher kind of games that kept me in the arcade at least 2 times a week in high school. UNlike the PSX (which seemed to be overrun with games wanting to be movies) and the N64 (loaded with teidous treasure hunt-esque 3d platformers) the DC gave me a high adrelenin gaming rush that I didn't have to wade through big instructions, boring cut scenes, or trying to collect all the magic stars to get to.

Of course, that probably is what let to the DC ultimately being shunned by the public at large. Oh well, their loss.

[SuperSoccerJess]

I voted XBox, but I bet everyone knew I would.

-Jessi

[liab1228]

Dreamcast because there are only 255-260 games in the library to collect, has some great games, and the price of a lot of the games is like $10.

And I only have about 130 more games to get. Hopefully most of the games will cost me between $10-$20.

[Mayhem]

If there's one machine you are guarenteed to get a quantity of AAA titles with, it's the Gamecube. Sure, it doesn't (and isn't going to) have 100s of releases like the PS2, but most of them are crap and most people are never going to buy more than say 10-15 per year, if that.

Runnerup would be the DC simply for its ratio of good to bad...

[Revolt]

My favorite mordern system is the ps1..lots of games...lots of fun.

[Jet]

Playstation2 is one solid unit~ the ability to attach other 3rd party
equipment to it just adds that much "more appeal" for me. Just one
amazing game machine :D

[briskbc]

I've got to admit, I'm surprised to see the Dreamcast leading this poll. Don't get me wrong, I like the system a lot but I chose the PS1. There are tons of great games across all genres.

[SoNiKaSt]

I vote Xbox cause uh...Xbox owns!

[Redhusker]

Without a doubt its the Dreamcast!I still play Crazy Taxi on a regular basis and when you combine the DC with a VGA Box you have a dead system that throws out graphics that rival and in some cases outdoes the PS2 and X-Box,even Sega Marine Fishing is a classic in high res glory.Just compare Crazy Taxi to Crazy Taxi High Roller and I think that the DC wins in looks and lack of slowdown that the X-Box has with this game.Yes I do own an X-Box and love it but its strengths are yet to be tapped,or I hope they are and it does not go the way of the DC.Is X-Box Live!Hype or Hope?

Take Care
Charles Jordan

[Stark]

Tough choice but I went with the PS2. I just love GT3! I still keep my DC hooked up though for those "special times" with DOA2.

[tynstar]

I vote for the Dreamcast it helped me get back into video games. I had a PSX but do not use it that much.

It has a great selection of games and most of them are under $20.

Plus Sega has always been my fav. The Genesis ruled. And still does.

[Mr. NEStalgia]

I love the PS2!!!!!! 8) :lol:
I've had a Playstation forever, and the backwards compatibility thing is great. Plus it's the only one I own. :oops:

I hate to admit it, but the Gamecube and the GBA are lookin pretty sweet. Ima have to pick one up sometime soon. :D :) :wink:

-=Mr. NEStalgia=-

[geelw]

but i had to go with the ps/ps2. i collect a lot of imports, and the variety of oddball japanese stuff along with some choice u.s. titles on the ps makes me look for more games all the time. thanks to system overlap, there's a LOT of stuff i don't even want on the dc (better graphics be dammed), so my dc collection is fairly small (about 70 games)- i'd rate the saturn over the dc (again, imports), and the cube slightly over the xbox (animal crossing and both super monkey ball games pushed me into getting a system)- although the gc currently has a higher percentage of worthless stuff (dc/ps2 ports, smashing drive, too many sports games, that AWFUL universal studios game) over truly GREAT games (for now)... :wink:

[Dobie]

I put in my vote for the GBA because that is the one I play most. The "modern" games are certainly fun to play, look cool, and innovative, but other than sports titles, I never bother buying games for them. I had a PSX and a PS2 but I never played them. I am seriously considering a buying a Gamecube though with all of the excellent new releases coming out (Zelda, Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing).

[johnny arcade]

XBOX!!!

BHvrd put it perfectly.

And I'm gonna put it my own way:

With XBox, you're not just playing a game... you're in the game.

[deadtech]

My vote: GBA. I don't "love" the GBA, i just dislike it less than the others. Of the others on the poll, I only own a PS1 and DC (both packed away for a long time now). I don not like games on discs, plain and simple. Also, yes 3D does suck, in almost every single instance. In addition, FMV crap has always sucked (3DO and Sega CD anyone?). My GBA (please note, also backward compatible) with the addition of the TV de Advance, is pretty nice, as well as visible, and in stereo. Next in line for me would be DC, as PSX is pretty much garbage IMO. BUt even my DC did not get much play time, and as I mentioned is now packed away. My Genesis and Master System are still hooked to the TV however.

-deadtech

[theaveng]

PC/Mac : NO WAY! Half the games don't run right, or if they do run, they run slow. It's too much hassle trying to figure out the right combination of video/audio drivers. I wish there was a "gaming PC" like the old-style C=64 or Amiga 500 with set audio/video standards.


PS2: Because although it's not as technologically advanced as the X-box, it's extremely popular and as a result, the PS2 has the widest selection of games! The PS2 is today what the Atari was in 1980 and Nintendo in 1990... THE system to own.


Post-Script: Wide selection of games is the same reason I still play the 20-yr-old C=64: It's primitive but has over 5000 games to choose from! I could probably play for the rest of my life and never see them all.

[Nature Boy]

It was a tough decision for me. Mostly because it depends on what I'm playing at the time and what future games I'm most excited about.

I voted Gamecube.

Dreamcast didn't even get considered. To me it's not modern anymore. It's dead. And I know it's well loved, but it just doesn't do it for me. I mention it only because it is Sega's newest machine and it still quailifies as being current generation. Rank: 4th

Xbox is still really new to me, and I've got only Halo so far. But it's got 3 games I'm looking to get (Outlaw Golf, Morrowind, Gotham Racing). I'm enjoying it but it's not enough to put it #1. Rank: 3rd.

PS2 was my previous favourite. I've got a good selection of games (18 and counting). Recent purchases still catch my fancy (FFX, SSX Tricky). And I've had it the longest. But there's nothing I'm really excited about. Rank: 2nd

I do love my Game Boy Advance, but I personally think of it seperately from the consoles. It gets lots of action though. But I never really look forward to future releases like I do for the others. Rank: n/a

And then there's Gamecube. I own only six games but every one of them has had been very enjoyable. Eternal Darkness has been an absolute blast. Super Monkey Ball passes my previously mentioned Guest Test. Plus it's got the biggest list of games I want now/will want upon release. Pikmin. Animal Crossing. Starfox Adventures. Metroid. Zelda. Super Monkey Ball 2. Rank: #1

PSX doesn't qualify to me. Not being current generation means not being moden IMO. And PC/Mac gaming doesn't qualify at all. It's it's own beast (even more seperated from the big 3 than the GBA).

[Kroogah]

Dreamcast. In addition to both Sonic Adventures, Virtua Tennis, House of the Dead 2 (yeah, Arcade Antics! John Woo style! Both guns! BOTH GUNS!!!), Typing of the Dead, Mr. Driller, SoulCalibur, DOA2, Mars Matrix, and Super Puzzle Fighter 2X...well...I'm a 2D fighting game fan. That means: Capcom Vs. SNK 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, SF3: 3rd Strike, KoF '98, KoF '99, Garou, Super SF2 Turbo, and Guilty Gear X. Woo!

[hurstman]

Hey im new here ,i stumbled upon this site and i think its great!!My pick is the PS2,you got great games like vice city,smackdown:sym,madden plus all the PS1 games you can play on your PS2 system.I've had them all but the Xbox.

[josekortez]

The Dreamcast is the best because it took chances with Shenmue, Seaman, Chu-Chu Rocket, among others. Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2 defied RPG fans' expectations. It brought shooters back with fun games like Mars Matrix and the Gigawings.

Also, because the system had a Naomi board, games like Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Daytona, NBA Showtime, and the various versions of Street Fighter showed that the DC was the closest thing to a real arcade experience that I had ever seen on a home system.

For these reasons, I'm still not sorry I traded in my N64 for my first one (I got another N64 anyway.)

In 2002, GameNow Magazine compared it to the Turbografx-16 in terms of it someday becoming the system that hard-core gamers will still love playing. I think they're right. Therefore, its soul still burns...

[z28in82]

I'm a fan of the PS2 just casue it was the natural progression for me and the fact that I can play my PS1 games on it always helps.

[swlovinist]

First of all, my hats off to two great systems....The Sega Dreamcast and the Nintendo Gamecube. I love both of them dearly, but they did not get my vote. The dreamcast is a great system, but its..............dead. No more games(at least until someone starts homebrewing). The cube is loved by me, for I feel it is really trying to make quality games. I just think(and I hate admitting to this) the PS2 is making the most diverse library(even for us retrogamers) that can make everyone happy. I hate their business practices, but the PS2 is played the most by me hands down(Activision Anthology mostly!)

[Videogamerdaryll]

I have no favorite modern system..I play everything..
.It's all about the games..

I did vote for the Xbox though..because it's the system I've been playing the most until today..and I made some good money with some Xbox items..

I do have an promotional Xbox window hanging item in my car,,(back window) ..and I wear and Xbox t shirt all the time.

But I still don't really have a favorite..it depends on the game I'm playing..
Tomorrow night I will continue playing Metriod Prime on the GC..
And at lunch time tomorrow my friend is coming over to play a bunch of Dreamcast games we haven't played for awhile..
If I get something new for the PS2 or an old Neo Geo cart..I will be playing these systems a lot..
I don't think I would collect other systems and games as much as I do if I had a Favorite system..

[Drexel923]

GameCube for me. I definitely play it the most, and I'm always getting excited about a new Cube game. All the other systems are good too. All of them come in second place...except for Xbox, it comes in third. :P

[calthaer]

I have to agree with NvrMore - GameCube has the quality, even if it doesn't have the quantity. I purchased a PS2 because I had never owned a PSOne and wanted to get my hands on all those Square RPGs and Castlevania: SotN. I enjoy the PS2, but I suppose I'd forgotten how long-winded and linear the Square RPGs are, and the only PS2 game I've played that I really enjoy is Maximo.

Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine (I never played much of Mario 64), and Zelda WW - those are great games.

When I play Prime, I get the same feeling that I got first playing the NES in the mid-eighties. It's like I've rediscovered gaming a second time or something, I don't know.

[Odin]

I voted for the PlayStation due to it's library of games (which is what matters to me). Mostly for the great RPGs on it.

[death1024]

I think the Xbox is the best Video game system because of the hard drive.
I hate memory cards.

[VACRMH]

Playstation.

I still have a huge list of games i'd love to play for it someday.

[captain nintendo]

I voted Xbox...but.
I really do like the dc. The games were ahead of thier time.
But some of the games on the xbox are amazing.

[Psycho Mantis]

ps2 rules! it's got the best games.

[El CiF]

i cant believe dreamcast has the most votes! thats crazy cool!!
way back before ps2 had come out i was still playing on my n64. i was only in 5th grade and i worshiped nintendo and regarded everything else as the devil especially sega. and the dreamcast seemed to have the n64 beat out at least thats how it seemed to me and that pissed me off. so then ps2 came out and i was the only person i knew who decided to wait for gamecube, me being a nintendo fanboy pretty much. i waited a whole nother year and then i decided screw nintendo ima get a ps2. so i did. and then i got an xbox. and then i realized that dreamcast had it going way back in 5th grade, so now im getting as much dc stuff as i can! :D

[racecar]

dammit i can't decide ..you give me too many options !!!!
so i will pick dreamcast and ps2 and xbox and the cube

[Rogmeister]

Are allowed to have 4 favorites? :P I guess not. I voted on this so long ago that I can't even remember which system I voted for. It was probably before I even got an XBox...I would probably lean towards the GameCube due to the major franchise games that have been done exceptionally well (Metroid Prime, Zelda, Starfox...and hey, I like Mario Sunshine, too...though some didn't for some reason). I also enjoy the PS1 and PS2 but have gotten a ton of XB games since I finally broke down and bought the system earlier this year...

Call me the Charlie Brown of the DP set...I'm just so wishy-washy... LOL

[pixelsnpolygons]

Dreamcast. It has the best quality to quantity ratio of any system released, IMO. And we're talking variety. RPG, racing, action, adventure, sports - it has it all and it seriously does it all well.

[Black_Tiger]

Although Dreamcast is my favorite and I consider the X-Box it's spiritual successor(long story), I actually play PSO Plus almost exclusively on Gamecube and various games on transit with my GBA(soon to be replaced by a DS as soon as FFIII comes out).

[videogameking26]

Hmmm....that's hard I say PS2,Xbox,GameCube,GBA SP...opps like them all, can't pick just one way too hard :evil: @_@ :D

[Neonsolid]

Gone.

[jdc]

It changes for me, even though I said PS2.

PS2....the reasons that I like this system most of all are A) a huge library of affordable titles, B) my favorite franchises are only on that system C) the later versions ARE far more durable.

Dreamcast....gotta root for the underdog, at least it IS with the general public. I'll forever remember seeing Soul Caliber running on one on launch day. 128-bit....holy crap!!! People talk about the lack of durability in the PS2? The Dreamcast was worse by comparison. You don't even want to know how many we warrantied. I love it because it brought me Shenmue.

Cube....I'm a sucker for Nintendo. Durable, robust machines. Great first party software. When Nintendo are on, they're ON. The first controller that fits me to perfection.

XboX....what a sheer powerhouse. Gotta love the harddrive. IMO they came out with a fizzle, exploded with a bang as THE alternative to the PS2......and now they're fizzling again. Not much to play in terms of software, far too many delays. When the XboX was in development Microsoft promised us a powerhouse gaming system supported by unique, exclusive software. That didn't last long.....now the system is filled with portovers. You can't support a system for long on Halo, Halo, Halo. You've gotta give these guys credit for being ambitious, but IMO it's turning out to be a bunch of hot air.

[slip81]

It's close between DC and GCN, but in the end DC has more games I like, and I can play classics on it without modding.

[SMB]

Suffer like G did?

LOL

I find that the Gamecube and Dreamcast are my two favorite current generation consoles.

[NintendoMan]

Gamecube, much better quality over quantity.

Second would have been DC.

[Ed Oscuro]

Hmm, never posted here before, so I'm voting for the PC.

I definitely am a bit miffed about the no N64 thing (Raedon pointed that out in 2002 :P ) but as the PC has been my most used games machine for ages it's hard to discount it. The FPS genre is stale overall (and that's what PCs are known for!) but now and then a standout title appears. I've even had fun watching games being played (World of Warcraft, yesterday). If there's a system that refuses to go away, it's the PC. I also use it for emulation (easier than hooking up the old systems and in some cases it's saved me the expense of buying an old console, though that's only a temporary measure), and as some folks talk about how they looove their XBox for doing just the same thing I'll roll with that as well.

There are a few games that I love on the PlayStation, but as much as I like the system it seems every time I get a game for it there's a little problem. Well, I just BIN'd both (PSX) Medievil games last night complete for $10 or so, and if anything's true it's that you just don't run out of games on the PlayStation.

[CreamSoda]

Dreamcast

-Has that "Classic" feel
-Cheap system price
-Cheap game price
-Shenmue/Shenmue 2
-Jet Grind Radio
-Phantasy Star Online/Ver.2
-Soul Calibur
-Tons of other great games
-VMU
-Keyboard and Mouse support
-Great Homebrew scene
-Decent emulators
-Online play
-Ability to browse the internet
-Still has very nice graphics

Just to name a few, DC is my favorite console of this generation, and probably favorite console ever. :)

[Nature Boy]

I actually had to re-look at my previous post to see what I'd voted before, because it changes over time. My previous vote was Gamecube, if I'd've voted today it would've been PS2.

It's fun talking about favourites for the current gen but it isn't until after the generation is over and done with that I can stick with my decision. :)

[vintagegamecrazy]

I gotta love the Game Cube, it has the least addons for it ( I like a console to just hookup and use) and has some sweet games to boot Second would have to be the Dreamcast.

[Nature Boy]

I gotta love the Game Cube, it has the least addons for it ( I like a console to just hookup and use) and has some sweet games to boot Second would have to be the Dreamcast.

I don't want to start a war or anything, but what are you talking about? What console requires you to do more than just hook it up and use?

I have more add-ons attached to my Gamecube than I have on anything else (I have the Game Boy Player...)

[GLASSJOE]

Playstation 2

[NESVIDIOT]

Gamecube for sure!
Nintendo beats out Sony's "vacumn cleaner" any day of the week
X-box has it's gems- but Halo is hardly a mascot title
and we all know that Mario is KING!
Who else has been in over 70 games and has sold over 80 million copies of games he's been in.

[Ernster]

N I N T E N D O 64

There's bloody PSX but No N64 :angry:

Oh well life goes on.....

[ghostangelofcky]

X box, most of there games are just really cool, Sony has more titles but alot of them are just crap

[SuperNES]

i voted dreamcast, because of it's sheer multitude of peripherals. there's a keyboard, mouse, fishing controller, maracas, DDR pad, lightgun, arcade controller, and in some countries, digital camera and karaoke machine. also, you can(could) go on the internet with it, and it's got those hella cool VMU's...
i bought a keyboard and mouse just to play Quake 3, even though I own in on PC.
Is there ANY internet support a all for the DC anymore? :/

[suznjak]

in this order
dreamcast (too many good games to name plus the most original games)
snes(too many good games to name and oooh the rpg's)
xbox(xbox live is the shizznit,even more so now that halo2 is out)
ps2(can play all the good ps and ps2 games)
genesis(too many good games to name
n64(can't go wrong with the zelda games)
neo geo(blazingstar,pulstar,and prehistoric Isle 2
gamecube(metroid prime's the only game i really like for it)

[PrototypeFC3S]

I remember when the Dreamcast was just coming out, and PS2 was soon to follow. I was hard pressed like everyone else the PS2 was going to eat the Dreamcast alive. And in a way, I was right.

Come to find out later, I was never going to be able to make $300 by the time launch of the PS2. And I was pretty upset. So, I opted for a Dreamcast. I had never seen a Dreamcast in actually play, so I was kind of whishy washy on the whole thing. I went to Toy-R-Us, and they had one on display,the demo of Sonic Adventure was playing. I saw that whale smash that bridge into pieces and from then on, I've never let anything come in the way of my Dreamcast, even more so since I just bought a VGA adapter. 8-)

Now I'm on the hunt for some of the coolest games ever. Thats why I'm here, hoping that someone will answer my call, and hook it up with something nice. My ultimate goal is to score some of those official arcade stick made by Sega. If I could get my hands on two of those, I would die happy.

[DARKRYSTAL]

DC all the way. Not only are the games beautiful and varied, but how many other consoles can you buy (for $20) that allow you to emulate without hardware mods? I mean, come on, I've got a copy of Linux running on it! How cool is that? Not to mention the future possibilities. In theory, this thing can run everything up to and including N64 and PS1 games. It's a modders dream come true.

[Cirrus]

Psx for me. It did the most for gaming out of all of those, I think. (I know that all psone games can be played on PS2, but you know what I mean.) Also, it probably has the best library of all of them even still.

[SuperNES]

!w00t! dreamcast Pwns!

[Cryomancer]

Dreamcast is like the...16 bit era of 3D, if that makes any sense to anyone else. It wasn't afraid to have awesome 2D games either, which is important.
