FAV AND MOST HATED CONSOLES

[grayrobertos]

My fav has to be the snes, the nes tought me everything I know but the snes showed me how beutiful it can be.

I hate the playstations however as I feel they have lowered the bar in videogaming if u know what I meen. Not making ur own games is a sin and they are trying to make games machines like vcrs. Doesnt work for me.

I also luv DC,N64 and megadrive however had no luv for the master system.

[hezeuschrist]

What the hell?

[grayrobertos]

what u meen just thought id share my opinion, and ask about urs?

[zektor]

"URS"? Do they have better shipping quotes than the opposition?

[Quazick]

This is some sort of joke...right?

[bargora]

I am sorry to report that Nintendo did not actually make all of the games for the SNES. They merely allowed producers to put the hallowed Seal of Quality on games after the producers paid Nintendo money.

It was kind of like a VCR sort of deal.

[grayrobertos]

yeah but you guys know what I meen I know Nintendo didnt make all of there games, but they did not leach of third party producers like the playstations seems to have done, when the snes and the megadrive wer around they both had some games the same, from third partys however, they both had games that made the system unique.

Now days I could only see myself buying a gamecube, As playstation and xbox do not have enough unique games and have a very similar libarys. DOn't people understand what im trying to say,

the industry is leading into a 1 console market, or a standard type of system or format, which companys have there own spin on. Could be a good things but I think the quality of newer games would suffer.

I both agree and disagree with the Playstation sentiments above. I hate the way Sony dominate the market with an inferior product, but - let's face it - Nintendo did it with the Gameboy (and, arguably, the NES vs the SMS). I love the SNES but I think the Dreamcast may be my favorite ever console. It was more ahead of its time than the SNES was.

Going back to the PS2 (and the PSX), it has a LOT of good games available for it. Yes, technically it's way inferior to both the Gamecube and XBox but, at the end of the day, it's the games that makes a system truly successful. I don't like Sony dominating the console market, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they don't deserve to. I just wish Sega were still making consoles!

[grayrobertos]

good points mate, I know what u meen about sony, and certainly with the gameboy mate.

Just out of interest what are the best playstation exclusive games?

[hezeuschrist]

Final Fantasy (insert #)
Grand Theft Auto (insert #)
Devil May Cry
Suikoden (insert #)

And a whole bunch more RPG's. If you're an RPG gamer, PS2 is the system to have.

I agree in some things you have said here. I do notice that the PS2 and Xbox library are very close to each other. Both systems seem to have alot of the same games. If I had to choose between the two however, I'd pick the PS2. Only because I don't trust a game system that has a hard drive...but maybe that's just me.

^lol true. Well what is peoples fav console of all time then?

That's hard to say. So many great consoles come to mind. But probably for me my favorite would be the Sega Master System. Tons of great games, the first to use card based games, an excellent 3-D glasses setup, a cool lightgun, a/v output. All good stuff. Too bad Nintendo screwed them out of all of the title they could have released here in the states. If not for that the SMS would have been what the NES was. What a different gaming world that would have been for the US, eh?

[grayrobertos]

A load of people over here had master systems I allmost picked one up at a market for 1 pound but couldnt be botherd carrying it. I never really took a shine to it, all the games I played on it wer really ugly not that the nes was awsome but had some games with solid graphics.

What are the best lookin master system games around?

[The Manimal]

I recently got a PlayStation and I am loving it! GREAT game selection, and it virtually took all of the good licenses away from Nintendo.


Whether it's Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, or Dragon Warrior....they all went to Sony (and Sega, for some). Sure there's a few Nintendo titles here and there for some, but very little if any notable.

[dreamcaster]

Dreamcast would have to rank as my favourite, along with the Super NES. Both consoles have the largest range of games that I consider my favourites.

Most disliked? Probably the PlayStation, but even then I'm starting to find more and more software gems on that little console.

[WiseSalesman]

My favorite console? I'd have to say the SNES. I used to be an RPG gamer. Enough said, really. It also had the best adventure games (Zelda, Super Metroid, etc.)

Least favorite? Probably the genesis. There are VERY few game I like for the console, and the controller design should be considered a crime against humanity.
