So, I thought It would Be cool to see what everyone would have ranked on their top 10 list of classic systems. This can include any console except (ps3, xbox 360 and wii). Here is MIne:' 10. Turbografx 16 (havent played it but judging from the videos and games and others feedback; I have to put it it 10. Would have been Sega Saturn 9. Sega Master System 8. PS2 7. Game Boy/Game Boy Color 6. Playstation 1 5. Genesis 4. Super Nintendo 3. Dreamcast 2. NES 1. Nintendo 64 |

Here is my list #1 - PS2: Its impossible to find a system so complete (I would actually stick with the PS1 but the more I think about it, the PS2 plays all the PS1 games as well as their own awesome options). With its backwards compatibility with PS1, you have almost 4000 games to choose from. Sony has been the #1 controller option since they came out as well. #2 - SMS: Everyone remembers the NES ... everyone loves the NES ... but everyone is missing out on the best 8-bit system there is. A much smaller library for sure (115 vs 765) but the choices are so much better on the SMS. #3 - Gamecube: For the Nintendo system, nothing beats the little box for me. Its Nintendo's first real disk system and they didnt disappoint. If nothing else, it brings them back out of the shithole they created with the N64. Add with it the GB player and you have access to the best handheld games made as well. Everything else ranks about the same with me (except the junk that is named the Dreamcast and the N64). Some good stuff, some bad stuff on each. |

Some good stuff, some bad stuff on each. --- End quote --- 1. Dreamcast - It had the more influence on online gaming than any other console than the original XBox. It had amazing games. The VMUs are awesome. I wish consoles still had VMUs. I like the controller (although this is a personal preference). It is also beautiful. Examples of awesome = Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia, Capcom Fighters, Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5, Sonic Adventure 2. Genesis - Awesomeness in simplicity. The audio had an amazing hard rock/ techno feel. This is in stark contrast to the SNES sound chip which always had a soft, reverb filled, orchestral sound. Although the SNES sound chip is technically superior, you ain't getting the Streets of Rage soundtrack on SNES. Sonic, Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Streets of Rage, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Storm 3. NES - Along with the commodore 64, this is what I cut my teeth on. This system is pure awesome. 4. Game Gear - It's a portable master system. Play every master system game plus some more. It is also fascinating as there is a lot of unknown forgotten history on it. It seems the NES doesn't have a lot of discovering left due to its popularity. I find that boring to collect for. There are controversies but not much stuff you can find where you will be one of a few collectors to even know a particular fact. Phantasy Star, Wonder Boy 3, Tails Adventure, Halley Wars, Streets of Rage 2, Alien Syndrome, Outrun, Space Harrier, After Burner. Pure Awesome. Clearly I have a lot of love for SEGA. |

I dont even think I ever played a Game Gear so I cant comment on that. If Sega came out with a new console, I would pre-order it in a heart beat!! I loved Genesis as a kid and Dreamcast. Dam if only my dream was true that Sega came out this year with another console. They caught everyone off guard in my dream which made it the number 1 console this holiday season |
