    PSX, PS2, PCE, Saturn, and Dreamcast are all on equal standing in my very experience opinion.

    PC-Engine really blew my mind when I began collecting for it in 2004. I had no idea there were so many top quality titles for the system, nor did I expect to be so mightily entertained by old "8-bit" games.

    For the longest time I swore by the Saturn import scene. Then I actually started looking into what is available for PSX, and realized how much of a Sega fanboy I was being.

    Best system depends on a few factors....
    1.personal interets
    2.affordability
    3.availability

    Personaly, I gotta side with the Saturn fans and the PCE crowds. Other systems like the super famicom, PSP, and DS are great but if you can afford some of the more high end titles for those first two you wont be disapointed.

    As for a system I "actually" own (as in the real thing, not a clone) my Wonderswan. Anything goes, my FamiCom. Just because I love my handhelds and my originals (grew up on the NES).

    Now I just need more WS games, only have about 12 or so.

    I think both of those systems have awesome import games. But because the PS1 has more games period, it usually gets the lions share of praise. I even prefer the import selection of PS1 over Saturn but I'd never just write off the Saturn over that because it's got more than enough import gaming goodness too.

    Saturn and PCE are pretty much THE systems to import for, followed by probably DS at the moment.

    Lot of great Japanese titles for those systems.

    I don't list the FDS because most of my favorite games came out on cartridge, and only a few of those also had a FDS release. The rest of the FDS games tend to be somewhat obscure. I actually can't think of a single FDS game that I would consider a "must-have" that is limited to that format and region.
    Zelda and Metroid?

    For me it's gotta be the Bandai Playdia. While other systems boasted "Graphics" and "Gameplay" this system knew what people wanted: FMV games and porn.

    Famicom, Super Famicom, Famicom Disk System, Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD, Playdia, Wonderswan, and a lot more!

    Nope, that was not a brain fart. Zelda is on cartridge, but for the record I don't really like either of those. I have both those games, sure - Zelda on both formats - they're still rather primitive and terribly thin games.

    Have to say PC Engine. Lots of great shooters.

    Famicom second, probably just nostalgia, since I grew up with the NES.

    Super Famicom: there's not much that was great import only wise- most of the good games came out in the US. It does have superior art work on the carts/boxes- and their physical appearance put the SNES to shame.

    I personally like the Super Famicom, basically because of the number of games that were never released in the US or Europe (RPGs and some anime games) and how much nicer it looks compared to the SNES.

    Amazingly enough, I was so uninterested in video games when I was little that I never really knew about the SNES - none of my friends or family ever bought one (they had either an NES or N64). I actually knew about the Super Famicom long before I even knew about the SNES, and actually played games on a Super Famicom without realizing it was Japan's SNES (we went on a trip to California once to visit relatives and one of my cousins had a SFC system). So when I finally noticed SNES systems selling in the stores, I was shocked by how they looked!
