Sega Genesis is my all time favorite console. I played the shit out of Sonic 2 and Contra Hard Corps.
Plus I played Phantasy Star 4 many times to make that initial $100 price tag worth it. It was great anyways, but beating it in 5 days made me feel bad as a kid.
gotta be the classic nintendo and the snes. I may not have learned to spell or read during my adolsance, but i beat every mario on super mario all-stars, and brought the duck to near extinction with duck hunt, the only one that got away was that damn laughing dog.
and how could i forget the greatest games of all, A link to the past, and mega man X. And my favorite games of all time, 'were back' and beethoven, (they are both real,) and i still cant spell or raed
I would have to say my PC. I pretty old and has provided many hours of entertainment. Now after mutiple crashes and countless upgrades it's still chuggin' along..barely.
The Sega Mega Drive, because it was my first ever console which I'd got at a car boot sale for a fiver. It also introduced me to sonic the hedgehog, who I still hate today :)
definitely the ps1. resident evil 1 2 n 3, tomb raider, ff7, mgs, jet moto, wipeout xl, xenogears, tenchu 1 n 2, tekken 3, gran turismo 2, legend of dragoon, syphon filter 2, medal of honor and thats just off the top of my head. no console before and since had such a big impact on me... ps3 sucks though its like sony forgot who they were...
Probably the wii cause I dont have an N64 or a gamecube but the wii can play those games and you can download on the shop channel. Plus is has brawl! I love that game :)
If only two things were different with the PS3, it would have been my all-time favorite (no "system updates" every day that had to dominate your screen and a lower price so there would be a bigger online community). The 360 also failed, but mainly because it got a Red Ring of Death on me, and the only thing I hate more than a console that IS ALREADY BEING SAID HAS A BETTER SYSTEM IN DEVELOPMENT (Xbox 720, anyone?), is a console that also was KNOWN TO BE COMPLETELY BROKEN AT LAUNCH BUT NO ONE DID A FACTORY RECALL (I got mine just two years ago and it came out at least 5 years ago. Because of these two epic fails, PS2 was my favorite console of all time because, even though you had to get special controller plug adapters if you wanted to play with more than two players because it didn't really have online play (I know it had an ethernet port, but we all know that out of probably the 200 million (I am not sure how many consoles were really sold worldwide, I am just using random numbers that sound at least believable) worldwide who had the system, only 200 tried to use the ethernet port) and it didn't have the best graphics ever, it had good gameplay and good graphics on most games it supported (Spiderman 2 FTW), and it had a lot of games, plus the fact that I could play PS1 games on it (that was my first system, a PS1). In fact, my gaming cabinet still, after two years of having a 360, a PS3, and even a Wii (which I hated from the first day, but my tenant wanted it and even tried to make me use Wii Fit to get more "in shape" (epic fail)), I still kept buying new PS2 games (last new game I bought for PS2 was Simpsons Game, really wish I had gotten it for 360 so I would get a actual award for beating the game, which I just can't do. Even on easy, the final challenge (Dance-off against God) is too difficult.), and my game cabinet still has 4 times more PS2 games than it has PS3 and 360 games combined (I count Blu-ray movies as PS3 games since they can only be played on my PS3).
Best gaming console I have ever played:
PLAYSTATION 2
*Spiderman 2
*Airblade
*PS1 compatability
*Good graphics (especially for the time)
*Design hinted at better internet capabilities in next system
*my second system, after the PS1
*biggest amount of my gaming time has been spent on that system, along with my greatest gaming moments
Gotta be my first ever computer my sophomore year in high school (i'm now in my senior year of college). I got this really crappy emachines from best buy. It had an awful celeron processor and only 256mb of ram but i thought it was amazing. I remember getting Warcraft 3 and playing it for hours, then getting Quake 3 and having a glowing light from heaven beam down on me as I discovered how much better FPS'are with a keyboard and mouse. My favorite summer was spent playing Morrowind in my friends basement while he played an inferior xbox version with no mod support! Then, i tried to install Battlefield 1942 and it brought my system to its knees. This led to my first ever hardware upgrade in the form of an ati radeon 9200 (i didnt know it was crappy.) But, that led to a love affair with computers and expensive upgrades that I don't think will ever die, much to my fiance's discontent.
She'll just have to deal...bitch don't know what she's missing...
I never had the N64, so I think my favorite console is the GBA. It was the first console I got. It had pokemon games, and hard-as-nails Megaman and Bass game. Ahhh.... so many good times.(twinkle tear).
Playstation 2 since it had probably the best line up of games (to me; even if it didn't have halo) ever. I still love my Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter (except that stupid racing game? What is that?), Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Dark Cloud, and beyond! :)
My runner ups would be a tie between the DS and 360. Especially when Scribblenauts comes out, I will be hooked to that little baby nintendo machine!
PS3!!!! i would have camped out for one but there were alot of people already in lines around my area plus. November in Wisconsin is really really cold. and even tho im on my second one ps3 i still adore my black behemoth of a console.
oh that's a tuffy... For me its between N64 and ps2. I'd have to say N64 though because i still come back and play that every once and awhile. My friend, my brother and me will bring it out and play multiplayer Banjo tooie any day and love the shit out of it, except it would always sound wierd at school when my friend would say "hey lets play some banjo after school" and people would look at us like what the hell and even if i explained that it was an old game they would still be like "a game about a bear and a bird? sounds retarded. apparently nobody in ohio knows what banjo tooie is... but anyway N64 RULES!!!!!!!!!
It's gotta be Ps1. I had an atari 2600 followed by an NES to a genesis but PS1 is where it really came together and solidified me as a gamer. it was the first system that made me start paying attention to gaming and buying my own games. My dad bought it for me because my parents had just gotten divorced and i needed something to do at his place, i never asked for it. it could have just as easily been an N64 and i would be a completely different person.
