    1.NES
    2.SNES
    3.Saturn
    4.Genesis
    5.Gamecube
    6.Dreamcast
    7.GBA
    8.Original Gameboy
    9.XBOX
    10.PS2

    That's hard to arrange! I love the PS2. Then again, I love the NeoGeo, and it isn't on there. The only reason that XBOX ranks higher is because it has such a great emulation scene... it's really fantastic.

    I only have 7 systems, but i'll comment on them:

    1 - NES my first console and one of the best. so many great games i'm still finding out about today.

    2 - SNES the first console i bought with my own money, great games, although the slowdown brings it down a notch from pure heaven.

    3- DREAMCAST i got into the race a bit late with this one, but every game i own on this beast is pure heaven. it perfects 2d AND 3d games. the hardware's great and the software is phenomenal. i'm just addicted to the cast...my favorite sega system.

    4- GENESIS meh, i don't have a good library for it, i just haven't given it the time it deserves...i need that 'i'm hooked' game for it...i though rocket knight was it...but alas.

    5 - DUO ahhhh, yes i own like 5 games for it, and they're all golden. why this didn't pick up is beyond me. every game i've seen on this bad boy is like 'this is how it should be done'

    6 - PS(one) - meh,OK games, but sorry ass hardware. didn't age well if you don't like rpg's. i only break it out for super puzzle fighter, and maybe metal slug x. does tho, host one of my favorite games ever, final fantasy tactics...and also street fighter alpha.

    7 - GAMECUBE - meh, decent games...but if you've played the last 57 incarnations of zelda, mario, metriod, you aren't missing anything if your not buying into this system....ikaruga is the exception (available for DC)

    10. Nintendo DS
    Though there's currently only two games worth playing on the console, it features many prospecting features like wi-fi gameplay, potentially online capabilites, and many great titles planned for the console ensure a long life.

    9. NES
    A general lack of good games plagued the system, but the limited great games were gems, featuring amazing playability and lastability.

    8. Sega CD
    Limited selection and flimsiness keep this from scoring higher, but what's there is great. Gems like Shining Force CD and Sonic CD kept me coming back eternally.

    7. Sega Master System
    Again, limited titles did not help the system, but gems like Wonder boy III and Phantasy Star not only lasted a long time, but kept people playing this great but overlooked console.

    6. SNES
    A nice console with a lot less wasteware then its predecessor, was the hub of the RPG in the 16-bit era, though featured little else worth noting.

    5. Nintendo Gamecube
    Though not much in the way of variety, the modern versions of many amazing classics can be relived on this little, extremely underrated console.

    4. Saturn
    While one of the most limited mainstream consoles, it had variety and replayability in spades. Though the confusion caused by RAM carts and such certianly left much to be desired, great games like Shining the Holy Ark, Virtua Cop, and most certianly NiGHTS into dreams kept me coming back.

    3. Sega GameGear
    The Gameboy's greatest competitor, it featured astounding 8-bit graphics and some of the most replayable portable games of all time. The only flaw in the system's otherwise perfect track record is the ridiculous battery life.

    2. Sega Dreamcast
    The console with possibly the most successful launch of all time, it features so many underrated games, it's ridiculous how it ever faltered. This console features one of the best excellent:crap ratio of any console, adding to its already great track record.

    1. Sega Genesis
    Oh, come on? Who didn't see this coming? Look at my avatar, look at my posts... The Genesis features two(!) other almost completely independent consoles, and spawned hundreds of great games for anyone. It also changed the way we played games forever, bringing the first badass to gaming, as well as showing us how action games should be done with Gunstar Heroes. In my opinion, this game has the least crap, featuring many great titles for every category.

    I dont really have 10 favorites but here I go...

    NES - This is the best of everything...in my opinion.

    Intellivision - For sports and RPGs, it couldnt be beat.

    Neo Geo - With few exceptions, Neo Geo has set the
    standard for fighters for about 15 years.

    Playstation - The last generations NES.

    Genesis - RPGs, fighters, driving, 32X, CD drive, Sega channel, Menacer...the Genesis was a real quality system with lots of originality to keep our imaginations stimulated.

    2600 - I believe the 2600 is the most addictive system in history. "Once more...I can do better this time"

    Turbo Express - Imagine where we could be if Nintendo didnt stunt the growth of the handheld industry for 15 years. Thank Sony for putting a flame up Nintendos ass or you would still be playing your GBA SP. (Not that I think the DS is any PRIZE)

    Turbo Duo - I enjoyed TG-16 and the TG-CD so I chose the Duo just to sum it up.

    Following Le Geek's lead, I'll list my current favorite games on these systems. I usually say I don't have favorites, but I know that some systems are not my favorites (despite having some really good stuff on them)...I'll roll with that. So far I have my top five sorted out:

    - Gen/Mega Drive (Shinobi III) For me, possibly edges out the SNES...
    - SNES/SFC (Not certain) ...and then, I'm not sure. The SNES blows the Gen away in terms of color and the variety of games continues to surprise me. The Genesis has lots of great stuff, but the SNES seems to have a nearly endless catalog of games that are quite good.
    - NES/FC + FDS (Castlevania III) The greatest older system around, no question. Huge selection of stuff here as well.
    - N64 (Zelda, either domestic title) Definitely not a wimpy system; its special effects aren't the greatest but they darn sure get the job done. While its sound chip is just PCM MIDI there's still some impressive soundtracks here.
    - PlayStation (Tenchu) This one's been growing on me. I couldn't imagine gaming without it, and neither can you

    A large number of other systems have captured my attention (Neo Geo AES and the Pocket Color to some degree, the Game Boy series, the XBox and GameCube to some extent, the Sega Master System, Saturn, and more...) but not enough to warrant my saying they're my favorites.

    My favorite consoles/handhelds are as follows:

    1. Super Nintendo
    2. Nintendo
    3. Playstation 2
    4. Playstation
    5. Xbox
    6. GameCube
    7. Game Boy Advance
    8. Nintendo 64
    9. Dreamcast
    10. Saturn

    I've yet to spend quality time with my Saturn and Dreamcast, so that's why they're so low on my list. And the N64 hasn't aged well (with the games' graphics being real blocky and blurry).

    It's been a couple years and my tastes have changed, I guess. Here's my updated/current console Top 10:

    10-7800
    9-N64
    8-TG16
    7-Genesis
    6-Intellivision
    5-Coleco
    4-SNES
    3-SMS
    2-2600
    1-NES (by a mile!)

    * I don't believe in listing "current" items in Top 10/50/100 lists.
