I agree with Skinner on Battletoads. I still own the original for snes.
As far as this topic, I'll have to say PS2. It has such a huge library of content that no matter what your gaming preferences, you'll find something you like.
Xbox just sucks, though. It's only good for Halo and even with that, it's still.....meh.
I suppose you must've missed Elin talking about how he doesn't dislike DQ. Because you're not intentionally disagreeing with Elin, are you? Because that would be pretty fucking out of line, even for the likes of you.Quote:

First would be SNES - nice RPG's, good platformers
and second would be psx/ps2 games - again nice rpgs but less of the good platformers and more action games
SNES and PSX
List is long, too long.
Umm...
1.PSX
2.SNES
3.NeoGeo
...
Eh heh... Your opinion of me is honestly a lot higher than it should be =/ My opinions mean precious little when it comes to games, I like some pretty bad games for no real reason whatsoever (though I do maintain that DQ most certainly isn't one of them. I thought it was wonderful), and I dislike some really good ones too. =/Quote:

Anyway, I couldn't possibly pick just one console; my favourite games are split over a variety of platforms. I'd like to go with the PSX, for it's abundance of good RPGs; it's definetly the console that I've spent the most hours playing. However, I'm not sure how many games on the PSX I really consider *great*. There's plenty that I really enjoyed playing through once, but only about ten to fifteen that stick in my mind as being really exceptional. I feel much the same way about the SNES: absoloutely tons of games I liked, but not quite so many I loved.
I'm also sorely tempted to say the Mega Drive / Genesis simply because it has so many games that I can just revisit again and again without getting bored (Sonic the Hedgehog, Rocket Knight Adventures, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage I and II, Shining Force I and II, Phantasy Star II and IV, Ghouls and Ghosts, Monster World III and IV, Toejam and Earl...the list goes on...), but I know that I'm blatantly biased towards the console as I grew up with it and I love most of said games as much as I do largely for their nostalgia value.
Hm. You win this one, Swede. I'll give you that much. The game was still wank, though.Quote:

Hmm, I'm stuck between N64 and SNES. If only Saturn had a couple more great games it'd be up there too.
I gotta agree the XBox of this gen has sucked pretty hard. It hasn't had very many good games and what it does have that I enjoy is mostly available to play on my PC. That's because of the lack of developers though IMO. The system did pretty badly in Japan.Quote:

I don't think it's fair to include backwards compatability in this. If so then Revolution will own everything since it's fully backwards compatible. So leave of the PS2 because of PS1 reasons :P.

i think i've just roughly, taken down all my fav snes games O_O i refuse to do the same with psx lol
PS2 for me. Seriously, my collection is HUGE and I don't think I have a single bad game anymore. :wacko:
Thanks for that mighty list of great games Shawn Michaels :P
There's a whole lot of those I haven't heard of, and/or haven't played either.
I noticed you put Lion King on the list too :wacko: I didn't expect that to be a good game.
Shawn Michaels you name all them games off the back of your head.
I bet you master and beat every last game you listed ...
I'd have to say NES and SNES. Good graphics and great gameplay combined...
Games for NES that rules:
Balloon
Duck Hunt
Zelda 1 and 2
Super Mario 1-3
Track and Field
North vs South
and way more...
SNES:
Chrono Trigger
Lufia 1 and 2
Super Mario World
Actraiser
Soulblazer
Final Fantasy serie of course
Zelda
And even tons more for this.
When I look through the past consoles I've had then NES and SNES was the ones getting the most game time on them... heck I still have NES and SNES and use them when I am bored with the pc... never get bored of these 2 gems.
On a third spot I'd say Sega Megadrive/Genesis... not as good graphics but did have great games too with great gameplay.
