Best old consoles

I have good memories from playing my N64, easily the best console for me.

It would seem this topic comes up once a week ¬_¬

Who cares? :p

I still have my ps2 though, and still drag out a game on it now and then... man, I've had it for ages ^^

It would seem this topic comes up once a week ¬_¬

lol. Go N64.

This is a toughy. PS1 had Crash and Spyro, PS2 had Jack & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, and Ace Combat, and the XBox had Halo 1 and 2. Very tough....

Ataris because it's pronounced different than it looks jk. it's because who doesn't like pong? I mean comon 3 lines and a square who wouldn't love that.

Super Nintendo, back when the 3rd party loved them, well liked them more than Sega^^

it has some of my favorite games of all time.

ps2. i still play it well because of timeplitters, battlefront and guitar hero but i stil lplay it. all my other consoles are dead or sold

well ps2 was the best huge library great graphics

N64. It had Mario, Ocarina of Time, and Pokemon Snap.

Arrrggggghhh! So hard to choose! Bit of a cop out, but 3 way tie between SNES, N64 and Xbox.

In my oppinion, i don't think Xbox or PS2 should be up there. =\

i really liked the ps2 for God of war and dmc4 but halo really got me attached to the xbox. so did half life and i recently got portal. really fun.

I guess I'll have to go with PS1. Best memories from that console.

Where the hell is the Genesis? That was the console to own when I was in college. Lots of Hockey and Madden.

You gotta give Sega some love!

I declare this poll a mockery!

OMG! I didn't realise the genesis wasn't there! Genesis is definately worthy. It's my second favourite, next to SNES which is my all time fav.

i voted xbox because i had more fun with it but i played the hell outta my gamecube and had it for many years before finally upgrading to an xbox

SNES. Until this gen, that was the LAST console to get me excited about it as it got released.... and the last console to get ALOT of my gaming time on average.

I voted N64. I don't really consider my Xbox "retro" enough for me to consider it old: heck, I haven't even had my 360 for a full year yet...

There were a few games for the N64 that were completely awesome. Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a good one, and the original Super Smash Bros. Perfect Dark was probably the first awesome shooter that I ever owned. And then there was Harvest Moon 64: sure, it was a game about farming, but it was so addicting...

Its not on the list, but I liked the SEGA megadrive

DREAMCAST.

I got my 360 haven't really touched my ps2 since but I have pulled out mario kart and the original Super smash bros. so I think N64 is better plus ps2 isn't really retro I mean they are still selling them in stores.

It outsold the ps3, too... 0_o

Who cares? :p



Apparently, everyone but you, lol.
I would say PS2 because of all the awesome games on it.
OVAR 1000 GAMES!

I loved my xbox to death.

Star Wars: Battlefronts, Halo 2 and Conkers Bad Fur Day all on one console,
What more could one ask for? :p

Conkers Bad Fur Day

Uhm...
Thats not an exclusive, it was on the n64 too...
So that was 1 gen before the xbox <_<
That game made me lose my childhood innocence.

Why isn't the Dreamcast in that list!!! I absolutely loved my dreamcast. Shenmue and phantasy star online!! as well as the Absolutely legendary skies of arcadia (originally)!! Deserves way more respect than it gets!! I haven't voted because of the lack of dreamcast option and I think you'd guess where I'd vote if I could.

I say Dreamcast. Got killed by PS2 early on though, it was my first real next-gen I guess. I had a N64 and my cousin had a Dreamcast he never used and I was like hey I'll give you 25 bucks if you can come up with the controllers and inputs and he was like ok, and so my first foray into next-gen was born. Then I got a Gamecube, it sucked except for the few decent gold nuggets (RE4, anyone?), then an XBOX, then I got a PS2 just for Guitar Hero, then this Christmas I got a 360. But I also still have a GameGear, Gameboy Color, SNES, Genesis, all the old stuff, lol.

EDIT: I forgot, I also had a Wii for about three months, it was lame despite what I thought it would be, only a few good nuggets just like Gamecube. I hope its not headed down that path again... I was thinking about picking another one up a year or two from now when they actually get GAMES. xD

My first consol, N64

PS2, all my favorite games are on that console. I owned a Gamecube beforehand, but the games just weren't to my taste. I quickly traded it in for a PS2, and i am glad i did.

Bad Fur Day was the sequal.

ps2, because it made me a gamer even though i had the nes before it.

N64's Conkers Bad Fur Day, Zelda Ocarina Of Time, Zelda Majora's Mask, Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie were the best.
Fun Fact:
They are making a new Banjo Kazooie game for 360

N64 because it had Paper mario on it

DREAMCAST.

QFT my friend QF..****ING..T

but as it isnt there :( i chose PS1, due to the fact it was the start of the best on running console EVER gogo gadget playstation! Oh and it had games like FF7, 8, 9, Vigilante 8 and Second Offence, Soul Blade, Ergheiz, Future Cop LAPD (best game ever me thinks!), Apocalypse, Tekken 3, Die Hard Trilogy, Crash Team Racing (best joke racing game ever, im sorry, but i beats the living crap out of Mario 64), Spyro games, Crash bandicoot Games, Marvel vs Capcom, Medieval 1 and 2 and tomb Raider 2... along with many many more classics, seriously, who could actully beat that many amazing games that everyone should play!

EDIT: if anyone knows where i can get my hands on Skies of Arcadia, i loved that game soooo much, but i havent got it for my dreamcast :( let me know!

N64 because it had Paper mario on it

gamecube w/ paper mario thousand year door and ssbm, or n64 w/ ssb and paper mario

whoops forgot about ocarina of time, pokemon snap, golden eye, and gamecube with resident evil 4

Mario 64 and GoldenEye were phenomenal at the time, so I gotta say N64. I grew up in a Nintendo household, and I still break out the NES and SNES on occasion.

NES. It single handedly saved us from the gaming crash of 1984. Legendary.

PS2, it has many games and most of them are good so PS2. But Halo 2 was almost the ultimate killer.

Mine's the N64, as it's got lots of my favorite old games.

N64 ftw, great games, goldeneye, perfect dark,

PS2, it has many games and most of them are good so PS2. But Halo 2 was almost the ultimate killer.

HOW???!! out of the many gamer friends i knew back then, not one of them gave a crap about halo2, and i didnt even know it had been released when it did. How would it be an ultimate killer, when only people with an xbox, gave a shite?

oh and the n64 had mario cart, even though crash team racing is better, mario 64, goldeneye (dont count perfect dark because it was exactly the same as goldeneye, only the multiplayer was worht it), and Ocarina of time, which i found boring anyway, how is it the best console ever? dont understand how anyone came with this conclusion. If i went round my mates who had an n64 we only played goldeneye, as thats the only one worth playing. If he came round mine, it was crash team racing, tekken, soul blade, gran turismo, future cop LAPD, vigilante 8 the list is endless. So i dont see how 4 games can compete against the hundreds psx had...

I was looking through the list and I didn't see Dreamcast! Well other then that Im gonna have to go with the always underrated Xbox.

N64=super mario 64, smash, zelda, mario kart, mario tennis, goldeneye, 1080 there are just so many reasons

Nintendo 64. I can't tell you how much I played mario kart on that thing....ahh the memories.

Even if it's not on the list, i think i'll have to go with Sega Mega Drive (Sega Genesis), either that or NES.

Not to be a broken record but why is Sega left off the list? Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast?

I would say my favorite old console would probably be the Saturn just for Dragon Force alone. That game was awesome back in the day. Anyone else ever play it?

***EDIT: I don't think PS2 should even be on the list cuz they still make a decent amount of games for it. But thats just me.

hey, where's the Segas?

GC when it started

Definitely PS2 for me. A huge number of games, many of which were excellent.

Super Smash Bros. Gamecube.

The PS1 started me on the hardcore gaming path. It finished what the NES started.

Definitely N64. I had an SNES, but the N64 is where I really started to enjoy gaming. I found out my favorite games were FPS after playing Quake, Perfect Dark, and 007 series on N64. Also has Zelda: Ocarina of Time which is one of my favorite games of all time. I used to try and beat it at least twice a year.

The snes had the best rpgs of all time

I think PS2 was the best one for me

Im gunna go with Gameboys cause me and my friends played pokemon ALOT. However, the PS2 had my favorite series with Jak and Daxter.

N64 hands down. I still get that thing out to play Mario Kart or Ocarina or Starfox 64.

I withhold my vote to protest the anti-sega bias in this 'ere poll! ¦¬|

Overall, I have to say...

VIRTUAL BOY!!!! :D

JK...

In all honesty, I think Id go back to SNES here... last console I had for a long while... and there was a reason for that. Until Metroid Prime, I had no need of an additional one. (At least during it's life)

Even thought I had it for a little while before I got the N64 and I dont realy have some of the more famous titles Id have to say the Snes, hell when Xbox Live was laggy over Christmas I was playing Mega mAn x

ps2 it had the best game selection ever i did love the xbox as well though

Xbox and the PS2

Gotta be the PS2. It's still living until now and it has a great library of games. I'm pleasantly surprised to see the N64 at 2nd place though. GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, SM64, SSB, LoZ:OoT, and LoZ:MM were all great games for it.

Shouldn't this thread be called "Best Console"?
Anyway... I chose N64. The greatest console to date... apart from the PS3 and 360...

Nope it's just the greatest console to date.

agreed, so many good memories from that thing

agreed, so many good memories from that thing

Hear, Hear. Although, I already had a PS2 when my cousin gave me his N64. I sold it about 5 years later 'cause I didn't use it, but it was an amazing system for those 5 years. :D

Gah I wish my N64 still worked :sad:
I don't even know why it's broken.
My SNES still works fine.

My N64 works but it keeps getting harder and harder to make those cartridges work, and some of them rattle when I shake them.

I probably would have said DreamCast but N64 is the next best thing.

No Sega Genesis or Sega Dreamcast!!!!???? This poll reeks of failure =P. Didn't vote for any.

-LatinLegacy

N64 all the way.
