So I am more into the collection of systems than games (not to say that I dont collect them aswell) but I was wondering what others thought thier favorite and least favorite game consoles are. My Favorite is a mix between SNES for its great games and the Atari 2600 for its awesome history. My Least Favorite has to be the Sega CD/32X combo because it has 5 games total and it takes 3 diffrent power cables that just make a mess for nothing >_> |

I have a few that stand out. PS1: Its going to take a miracle of a higher power to break this one away from my #1. The most amazing system ever made. The best controller out there (obviously as it hasnt changed in decades) and a vast array of games from every genre including some of the best rpgs out there. NES: What needs to be said about the NES? It single handedly brought gaming from a boring toy to the front line of on TV entertainment. What the NES did for gaming will never ever be recreated. SMS: The system I grew up with. Gaming wise, I considered it superior to the NES but it just didnt have the support. Still, it holds a special place in my memories. And the one that needed to have never been made ... N64: Honestly, what can I say good about it other than it has a good Mario Kart game. The library is sad compared to most other systems and it offers nothing as far as RPGs go. The controller is ... omg, ridiculous. Who the hell has 3 hands to hold this thing? Nintendo made a bad choice in making this still a cartridge system trying to compete with Playstation and as such the crappy games it had were 2-3 times the price. They did try all sorts of gimmics to make the system sell (countless different colored systems, rumble support, etc) but it didnt do much in my opinion. |

Mine has changed over the past few years. If you had asked me early last year, I would have said the NES. Early this year, and I would say Super NES. Currently, it is the PlayStation. This is rather odd, since earlier this year, I seriously considered selling my entire PlayStation collection. |

My favorite: NES. It wasn't my first console, which was a 2600, but it was where my love for gaming really took root. My main passion is the NES and collecting NES games, preferably CIB though complete games are too expensive for me to collect anymore. Least favorite: Interesting. I'd probably say Neo Geo because I've wanted one since 1990 and it has remained too pricey to justify the purchase of ever since. Many of the games are prohibitively expensive as well. |
