What is the best console of alll time .

amp

I voted for the Playstation as it's the one I've owned the longest and played the most. But I had some good times on a friends SNES. Very addictive so it was.

PS1 gets my vote.

Great synopsis there quigs snr! PS1 was an absolute milestone in gaming. It took common game genres and transformed them into the games we dreamed of when we were messing about on our ZX-Spectrums

Racing - Ridge Racer, GT, Colin McRae.....
Platforms/Mystery - Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, FF7/8
Beat 'em ups - Tekken and all those other clones
Footie sims - All the FIFA's

Plus it was the first console where, imo, genres were successfully merged in Wipeout, Metal Gear Solid, Cool Boarders.

Oh all those drunken nights!!

N64 comes in second for giving me Goldeneye, Mario 64, and Mario Kart 64.

Aye Seamus, I remember the 8-Bit days like they were yesterday. Looking at a box with 4 smaller boxes sticking out of it zooming through bland, monochrome backgrounds, thinking this is a ferrarri I am driving through the countryside.

You needed imagination back then.

I'll never forget when my brother got his PSX in 96 and Ridge Racer (which I berated him for, calling him a fool for not buying the Saturn. How wrong was I, I guess I couldn't see the sega/nintendo thing ending). I could scarcely believe my eyes. Of course it looks pants now, although the dynamics remain the same, only the graphics have changed.

I tell you looking back I can almost understand why my mother thought I was mad spending time playing these old 8bit games. That is until I bought her a PC for christmas this year and since then she hasn't stopped playing tetris (which she used to get on to me for playing in 1990). The worm has truly turned.

Voted N64 because Zelda and Goldeneye kept me going for awhole year

PS2, because of it's own games, and the ability to play PSX games too.

Coolboarders mixed the snowboarding genre with... snowboarding.

SNES was classy. Anybody ever play zelda a link to the past great game never could win it out though. it had very good graphics for its time. Play N64 once thought it was the biggest heap of junk ever. Playstation 1 is good obviously better than SNES vut i voted for SNES because it was easier to play games were Cheaper and really enjoyed playing it. Like a new game for a PS2 cost around the as the SNES cost to but it new.

SNES was excellent .

Regards Culchie Boy.

SNES had no loading times, and had loadsa games but the PS1 is a great machine. In the end i`ll take the pc and play all those retro games on emulators.

PS1 and snes where both excellent consoles but what about THIS classy beast:D

Saruman

EvilGeorge

Poll closed. Destickied.

Snes wins, psx 2nd, megadrive third. You old skool hippies

Dont be at yourself

The Saturn didn't even get a single vote - shame on you all!

(I *had* to vote for the PSX, you understand.)

Retr0gamer

The snes was more popular than the md everywhere except in europe. It's because of this i got a md and not a snes. Oh well at least i had rocket knight adventures and gunstar heroes. Snes deserves to win.

fisifan01

the snes by far did ne 1 ever play starfox total classic

Quigs Snr

Logie, I'm glad someone remembered that beast. How bad was that idea ? A cartridge only C64. I think it only lasted a few months. It cost as much as the full c64 which also had a cartridge port. Why would you bother. Lemon heads.

Yes it is. Just because it's portable doesn't mean it's not a console.
