Best System Ever?

[Lancet Jades]

What do you think is the best system ever?

I'm going with SNES. It has so many good games, of all varieties. Not to mention its incredible durability.

[Nereid]

Me = agree with Teh Johnny Boi...SNES is the most durable system of all time, and it has a large number of great games (think 99% of GBA's games).

[Zelphiel]

I'm goin with the good ol' SNES. that thing is indestructable, and it has a huge library of kickass games.

[Eric]

Atari.... The System That Started It All.

[Zelphiel]

actually the Pong machine was before that.. and Colecovision was the king before atari released the 7600.

[Eric]

Was The Pong Machine As Portable As The Atari 2600?

[Hector]

SNES...so many addictin good games. u can relive those daze if u hav any old mario games for the GBA and a gameboy player

[Quel Thalas]

im gonna say game cube, cause it is the newest in the nintendo line, but SNES is cool... ive had mine for 9 years... dont have many games for it though...

[Eric]

SNES Was Gonna Be Put Up There For Me, But It Wasn't A Multiple Choice. So I'm Not Gonna Dis The SNES. And Yes.... Everyone Should Agree That SNES Is The BEST!

[Chicken Little]

NES, plain and simple.

[Silly Girl]

I'd say SNES, but for the fact that they've remade all the best RPGs to PSX, and because you can play all PSX games on PS2... I'm saying PS2.

[Eric]

PSX Games Can Be Played On PS2? I Never Knew That.

[Zelphiel]

yeah, but some games won't work or have trouble playing like my Grandia game.....

[Eric]

Oh.... When Does PSX Come Out If It Hasn't Already?

[Silly Girl]

Umm... it's been out, dude. PS1? PSOne? PSX. Were you thinking of something else?

[Eric]

I Guess. When Did It Come Out?

[Eric]

Why Can't You Just Say PS Instead Of PSX?

[Lancet Jades]

i just say PS1 =/

[Chicken Little]

Well psx is a commonly used abbreviation of playstation and is used by gaming magazines so I guess that is why :\ it is in common usage among gamers


aahhh not so young grasshopper.

The first playstation was originally to be entitled Playstation X hence PSX for short, though this name did sound attractive at first they scrapped the X naming it the Playstation yet reports were out that it was still named the PSX hence ppl still remmebering it today. The PS0ne is a slighty smaller version round edged console made for portable use, slightly lighter in colour. Also there were 4 version of the Playstation developed, the normal grey box, a black box, a brown box and a white box. The Grey had the usual outputs RF, Stereo, power, parallel. The WHite added in a vcd port, the black enabled dummy copies of games to be played (eg unfinished copies) and the brown was simply for the programmers.

And yes the PS2 was always designed to be backwards compatable since at the time they didnt feel the time was right to produce a console that wasnt, instead the gamecube did that shifting from carterage to minidisc, whereas the PS2 only shifted from CD to DVD. Also this is conclusive with reports as soon as the PS2 was announced that the PS3 was already in planning.

the Tooth Ninja has spoken :D

[Silly Girl]

I've never played Atari, but my friend has one. And he wants us all to go to his house after prom, so maybe I'll become a Pong master by the end of this school year ^_^

[Lancet Jades]

lol, my best friend has a pong machine...

[Zelphiel]

the black enabled dummy copies of games to be played (eg unfinished copies) and the brown was simply for the programmers.



I think you've got those mixed up. I thought it was the black one that let you program..... I remember reading about it a long time ago in gamepro. and the original market PSX played all games, domestic and import.

[Eric]

Man.... What I Would Do For Pong.... Not Curveball.

[Chicken Little]

I think you've got those mixed up. I thought it was the black one that let you program..... I remember reading about it a long time ago in gamepro. and the original market PSX played all games, domestic and import.


oh well heck i cant be expected to remmeber everythign precisely...what kind of a Ninja would i be if i didnt do caracteristic stuff ups :p

[Zelphiel]

what kind of a Ninja would i be if i didnt do caracteristic stuff ups :p


how true. :D

I always wanted one of the black playstations. I know jack about programming, I just wanted one.

[Eric]

They Had Black PSX's!?! Aww Man.

[Silly Girl]

The PS2s are black.
And, although I don't have Pong *cry* I can enjoy myself daily with the slightly more complicated Tetris. Gotta love it. Oh, and if all ym other games get boring I can bust out the original NES and play River City Ransom ^_^ That is THE god of all games where you walk left and right and kill people!!! ^_^

[Chicken Little]

i always wanted one with the vcd attachment, the white one just cuz it could then play vcd movies on it.

[Chaos Theory]

Snes

That was the best

DC was pretty good too

[Saberstar]

PSX. A lot of variety of RPGs.

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, PS1 and SNES are the best for RPGs.

[Zelphiel]

the Saturn was too... but that was back when the Japanese were really, really, really stingy with games.. so we only got a fraction of what was released.

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah...all those good RPGs...denied to us forevermore....

:(

[Zelphiel]

who knows... they may port them one day.

[Chicken Little]

not likely lol

[Laggy]

SNES then NES then PS2 ^_^ its really up to what game you are playing at the time, they all have great games, and all have sucky games....

[Sabin]

SNES, anyone who says otherwise is probably a newb at consoles

[Laggy]

<_< well thats what i say but alot of people like NES more...i think that im kinda on a tie with NES and SNES...

[Leknaat]

Snes is my favorite but I also like the Genesis(mainly just for the shining series and Phantasy star series) I used to have a saturn but I don't anymore...

[Ricdeau]

I still say PS, I am a newb at consoles compared to the rest of you. My first game was Crash Bandicoot...

[Lancet Jades]

Lol, yeah demi, but then again ,you're much younger than most of us...

[Leknaat]

Oh I love ps too thats the console that I have the most games on. My favorite series is on it so I guess I should add it huh?

[Zelphiel]

I think the SNES and the PS1 are tied with quality RPGs... but, with fighters PS2 is my fav.

[Leknaat]

yep PS2 holds the only fighter I was ever good at..

[Zelphiel]

lol... you'd be good at others if you played them.

[Leknaat]

you really think so? I don't know...I guess I could try sometime. Bring Marvel vs. Capcom over sometime.

[Zelphiel]

I will next time I come over... and I'll try to remember your soundtracks..

[Leknaat]

you better...I miss my Suikoden 2 the most..lol

[Lancet Jades]

I've never been good at fighters.... >_<

meh

[Chaos Theory]

I losted my suikoden 2 :animecry

[Lancet Jades]

Lol, i'm gonna be checking all the stores for suikoden 2 copies...maybe you can get it from one of my ebay auctions should i find one
^_^

[Leknaat]

I meant my soundtrack of Suikoden 2 I don't loan rare games out except to lathan because of what happened to my Xenogears...

[Chaos Theory]

What I thought we were buddies Lades

cant you just send me a copy as a gift?

[Lancet Jades]

Nope, sorry. A single copy of Suiko2 can fetch me a net profit of about $40-50 US. =/

[Chaos Theory]

damn, I hate you :animecry


I thought we were like this :cheers

lol damn, I will never get my hands on another copy

[Saberstar]

damn, I hate you :animecry


I thought we were like this :cheers

lol damn, I will never get my hands on another copy

You could...buy yourself a copy. LOL
I might give you mine. ;)
hm get on aim? <_<

[Kiros]

i like gamecube...cuz its small...i also like Xbox and ps2

[Laggy]

i cant stand Xbox. ps2 is teh shizy and cube is okay lol

[nightsavior]

it used to be easy...back in the day the only two good systems around were the nintendo entertainment system and saga. i'd say of the x box,game cube,and ps2 it's hard to decide. all have advantages and disadvantages. for example the ps2 it great because its backwards compatible. that means your ps 1 games don't have to go to waste. the x-box has had some great games exclusively on their system, which kinda blows for ps2 owners like myself. why can't we have ninja gaiden and crimson skies as well damn it! then there's the cube. face it nintendo has the most endearing game characters ever. mario,link,and samus just kick ass. so long as nintendo keeps pumping out titles based on zelda,metroid,and mario (while also making them good games) they will be able to keep a fan following. still to me the game cube up until recently has been too kiddy oriented(that will change with the coming of re 4) and the x-box is too damn expensive(even with their reduced price) and the controllers are akward. in the end i gotta go with my good ol ps2. it's not the prettiest graphic wise nor is it the fastest...yet overall it has great games,easy to use controllers,and it is actually affordable.

[Zelphiel]

it used to be easy...back in the day the only two good systems around were the nintendo entertainment system and saga.

I agree there. Unless you wanted an obsolete console you had to choose between NES and Genesis... (or master system... depending on how far back you're going. The Genesis was released about a year and a half before the SNES.).

[Darc]

SNES was best ever....

[Wallie Wildo]

its snes then a close second is the dreamcast then the ps1

[Penguin]

I'm going to go with PS2.
I like the graphics.

[~KB~]

Gamecube is the best system oh yes it is.

[ThereIsNoSpoon]

Super Pretendo(I bet no one can tell me what thats from).. SNES its the greatest system ever, to this day I still play it every now and then. I mean come on it ruled the 16 bit era, its greatest. It has the very best Role Playing Games, it has the most fun games. Plus, it had the best fighing games(^m^
Killer Instict ^m^).

[Lancet Jades]

w00t! SNES still reigns supreme ^_^

[Oriana]

SNES had some awesome games, but I vote PS2 for sheer usefullness! It's a PS1, PS2, DVD player, and CD player. It's all I need to survive!

[Lancet Jades]

SNES had some awesome games, but I vote PS2 for sheer usefullness! It's a PS1, PS2, DVD player, and CD player. It's all I need to survive!

Yeah, but the PS2 isnt the best to play DVDs on. But, i guess you have a lot of good points ^_^

[idgaf rpgfan]

I'll be the freak and say the 'Box. It may not have the games that other systems do but the system itself blows the others out of the water, it's the best engineered and designed consoul out there.

[Magus]

I love the Gamecube. IMO, it has the best creative original games of any system, ever. Although I do like Square's Chrono Trigger for the SNES...

[Lancet Jades]

I'll be the freak and say the 'Box. It may not have the games that other systems do but the system itself blows the others out of the water, it's the best engineered and designed consoul out there.

Yeah, but w/out the good games, it isnt all that good...=/

[Spartan God]

The xbox has better games the gamecube i think. The gamecube doesnt have any good 1st person shooters, i only have 3. (Timesplitters 2, Nightfire, and Splintercell)

[Magus]

I don't really care for FPS's anyway, I like what they done with old-school games. Back when they didn't care for graphics and only cared about gameplay... I think nowadays Nintendo focuses on graphics while keeping that cool old-school touch. What I love about it.

[Spartan God]

Good point, but i never really played old school games. My first system was an n64, but they are making a new goldeneye for the gamecube.

[Setzophone]

I said Snes cuz it was the system that introduced me to RPGs and Zelda. It was capable of decent graphics, good sound, and it had some of the most memorable games to ever be released.

[Zelphiel]

I prefer the PS2 for it can play PSX games and PS2 games wich are both quite enjoyable .

if only it had more durable hardware. :lancy

[Johnson Swags]

i like x-box no i love x-box it the best even if it made bad it still coll when it works lol i like the games on it

[Chicken Little]

its a pc, why have 2 pcs 1 in a console form? its fucking ridiculous.

[DARK MASTER 13]

Long live the ps2

[Omega]

My fav is the NES, lol.

[Lancet Jades]

The NES did rock ^_^

[Johnson Swags]

i like x-box i into graphics i like good looks with a game but i do say that the snes has some good games to i like it but i stick with the x-box i like the kind of games it has and they just keep coming out with more and more so there is a larger selection each month so i know soon x-box will have more game you all like just wait and u will see :bounce

[Darc]

erm...didn't know i already posted here -.-

[Apistat Commander]

The best system ever = The PlayStation. Come on, the PS1 was a freaking RPG Haven.

[Laggy]

The best system ever = The PlayStation. Come on, the PS1 was a freaking RPG Haven.
NES and SNES started alot of the RPG game series' that PS1 followed up on...


NES fo eva

[Sparky]

I voted Xbox - which, in my opinion is a fine console and is easily one of the best.

[Ace of Jades]

I would say the Xbox only because of Halo series. But there is alot of good RPG's on the GBA.

[Lancet Jades]

I would say the Xbox only because of Halo series. But there is alot of good RPG's on the GBA.
The X-Box may be ok, and Halo may be a good series, but two games alone can't elevate the X-Box to greatness, especially considerong all the other systems with so many more excellent games.

[Stormtrooper]

i guess xbox for halo reason

[Ace of Jades]

Yes all systems but the DS are okay.

[Kayodic_Weazel]

I vote XBOX AND I LOVE HALO 2 SO SUCK MY FISH. :POTATOES:

I vote XBOX AND I LOVE HALO 2 SO SUCK MY FISH. POTATOES!

[Day]

Halo is not that good >_<. Besides, it's on the PC.

PC is the best gaming system, because it can do just about anything and is constantly updated with new software and games. It's the best for online gaming.

[Flameow]

Its SNES, duhhh =D

[Stormtrooper]

SNES ALL THE WAY!

[Kaffee]

PS2, i move forward not back, :P

[Codi]

Ps2.
But I gotta say, nothing can beat playing mario games on Nes and having no idea wth you're doing.

[Laggy]

PS2, i move forward not back, :P
what can I say?


I just dont keep up with the times, man lol

[The.Black.Knight]

I chose...SNES! It was the coolest. I really liked my SNES and the Mario games that went with it. They were fun. And all of the other games. It was the best...

[Altima]

I really liked my SNES. I didn't have that many games for it but it was still the best.

[Kain]

Ps2......I don't feel like listing stupid reasons why so bite me.

[Cherubim1324]

I am going with the SNES. It has the best variety and most originality in games.

[Lunaris]

Easy, Super Nintendo. There were other systems with great games, but the SNES had TONS of em.

[Solomyr]

The Snes is a great system all around. Amazing for its time and has come out with some of the best games to date. Along with some amazing Rpg's. Final Fantasy 6/3 for one, is still thought of highly, and to me is the best Final Fantasy of all time. You can't go wrong with the Super Nintendo.

[Ashe]

i say genesis just because of the Sega Channel ;) hehe... Sonic was awesome too

[GCNmaster22]

I'd have to choose the GCN. with the DS just short of it.

I mean, the GCN has the best Legend of Zelda games and some titles that weren't even originated for it! And the new one coming next year? YEAH!

[T1000416]

How can I be the only one who thinks the N64 was the best? And how the hell can 10 people think the PS2 was the best?!

[GCNmaster22]

How can I be the only one who thinks the N64 was the best? And how the hell can 10 people think the PS2 was the best?!

i dunno, i thought the N64 would have more votes also....if i had the chance to own one i'd probably vote for it too.

[Lancet Jades]

The reason the N64 wasn't my fav is because it simply lacked RPGs, which is my favorite genre. Had it a good supply of RPGs, like the SNES, PS1, or PS2, it might've had a chance, though if it DID have a lot of RPGs, it would probly be at the cost of some PS1 RPGs (instead of making them for the PS1, some companies would've probly made them for the N64).

The PS2 is so high because of its large variety of games. Pretty much any genre is present in good numbers on the PS2, and although other systems might have a better selection of 1 or 2 genres, the PS2 supported them all more or less equally (as did the SNES).

[MiDQuinones]

I say PS2 is the best system ever.

[Ross]

Shoot 'em up games = X-Box
Racing Games = PS2
RPG = PS1 (Come, FF = da bomb)
Just some classics = Nintendo consoles.

You can't beat the N64 on many levels...until they released the PS2 that is...then it died. R.I.P N64, R.I.P.

But I like the N64...probably my fav console ever.

[OniNisho]

I picked Ps2 because.....yeah.....* sniff *.......Fuck microsoft,

[Setzophone]

I'm definitely gonna have to change my vote on this... Xbox is now my favorite. It has the most expandability... and modability.

[Rainbow Dash]

PS2, just because that's the only one that I still use.

For least favorite its X-Box 360.

[William]

SNES. Best selection of games, and I'm also a sucker for the graphics. The PS2 would come in second I suppose, but it falls short due to it's crappy durability.

[Rainbow Dash]

I was too young to remember my SNES. It also broke long before I even got PS2.

[Zelphiel]

I was too young to remember my SNES. It also broke long before I even got PS2.

; ;

you should go buy one. If I had a spare I'd give it to you. :P

[[PhiberOpticks]]

SNES ftw. When my brother bought his own SNES, using money he stole from me, I took his and tried destroying it (hey I was young and foolish), and sufficed to say, it didn't work. Trees don't do much damage.

PS3 is gonna be cool. Nintendo Revolutions got the possibilities. Xbox 360 is good, but not great. But that's a whole other story.

[Silver Storm]

I would go with the NES, you can't beat the duck hunt game

[Travisblaze]

I'm going to have to say SNES because it has a helluva Library that spans many genres. It also had longevity(8 years). Plus, most importantly, it has staying power it have been dead for 8 years now but for some reason I find it sitting right next to my current crop of next gen systems.

[ROBOTRON]

Neo-Geo

I bought this system in the 90's and it has given me the most joy of any system ever.

[Lingo]

My personal favorite was the Xbox, it a lot of great games, it was very durable, and Xbox Live is great ;). It had my favorite game; The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind and many other good games like Splinter Cell/Pandora Tomorrow/Chaos Theory, Halo1/2, KOTOR1/2, and Star Wars Battlefront 1/2.

[Kurbee]

I would say Xbox. For many reasons

[Dark Marmosett]

Xbox now until I get the 360. Can have music on there though it takes forever to do that... Also the good FPS's are on that system.

[Bloozilla]

SNES, hands down. It has proably some of the best games I've ever played on it, with PS1/2 as a close second for the same reasons.

[Grave Wisdom]

I'm gonna vote Genesis, but Snes is very close behind.

[Boycrazy]

Xbox, its shaped as a box and an x. I really couldnt think of a good reason.

[Dark Marmosett]

How did I never vote here before o.o

Anyway....I'm gonna have to say PS2 and xbox like my last post....i mean its the system i have the most games for and the most fun games too that I own.

[edstreme]

-Genesis, which got me into gaming.

-Game Boy (the gray bick one), which got me through rough times

-Nintendo 64, which made my christmas the best ever.

I love and play my Wii, 360, and DS to death, but the above three molded made me the gamer I am today.
