What is the best console.

to me...N64...quality system, every now and then will dust off the dust and play it

N64 easy for me. So many classic games - Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Zelda OOT, Conkers Bad Fur Day, etc....

I had many more games on PS1 than N64, but mainly because I could copy the PS1 games.

SNES was good too with the Donkey Kong Country games, and Killer Instinct.

Favourite computer for games was the Amiga. C64 was awesome though at the time. Don't play many PC games these days, but there seems to be a different, perhaps smaller?, range of games styles compared to back then.
 
I owned the N64 and converted to the PS1 later on, but the N64 for it's time had some of the best and most fun games you could get, more than that it really introduced games that were better to play with your mates than on your own.

Goldeneye, Mario Kart, all the wrestling games, huge amount of hours lost to those few alone.

The S/NES "OUT OF BOUNDS ON THE FULL" AFL game was an absolute beauty too, and the wrestling games on that were fun as hell too.

Also even though I never owned one the any of the Sega consoles were pretty damn cool, always wanted one but never got one, they had some awesome games.

I probably got as much joy out of my Saturn as any console i've ever owned.

After the 16bit era of the snes and mega drive, it was just a new age. Especially seeing the evolution to 3d gaming.

Daytona was a pretty shabby port in hindsight, with really horrible pop up issues, but i still remember looking upon it with awe when it first came out at timezone, and to be able to play it at home was pretty special.

Sega Rally, Panzer Dragoon, Niights, the original Tomb Raider. Lots of gaming goodness there. Loved my PS1 too, but the saturn always holds a special place in my gaming history.

Sticking to the criteria of no new consoles, in terms of enjoyment i'm going

Saturn, Mega Drive, PS1

Nothing against the Nintendo consoles...i just never owned one back then.
 
N64 hands down :)

games like super smash bro's, mario kart (especially battle mode), goldeneye etc could still easily be more fun to play (multiplayer, of course) then alot of recent modern games. Even if graphics are crap, the awesome gameplay makes up for it.

64 Controller ftw =D

I didn't know anyone who owned a Saturn, wasn't around for long was it? Mega Drive and N64 are the two I probably spent the most time on, and enjoyed the most.

I know heaps.

Came out in what....94? I held off buying my ps1 till 97, basically when saturn new releases began to get scarce.

(actually now checking the release dates...it was probably 95 and 98 for my ps1...what can i say...i'm old)

Had a shortish life here in oz, pity, because it was awesome.

I bought a my Saturn for $799, a wheel for like 130 bucks and a game (Daytona) for probably about 100. I know it cost me over a grand. Disgraceful really :D

Ouch! I remember seeing a few games down the video shop when I would rent MD or 64 games or whatever, but there was never anything I was really interested in, and besides I was like 15, so $799 was a bit out of my league :D
 
I was only 16 dude.:D

I slaved over my school holidays in a job picking tea tree for the export market to pay for it. It was a shit job, but cash in hand, and you earned awesome money (for a 16 year old anyway).

Walking into Hitech world on Roe St in Northbridge (long demised), to buy it, i felt like the king:p

But yeah, gave me a lot of entertainment that console. Very, very underrated. Sega just didn't know how to market to non Japanese markets back then so it died an unsupported death.

I was happy working for my N64 - it was bloody cheap from memory. Ah, my first game was some Star Wars 3rd person shooter that was pretty cool. I think there was races in it too...ah, and flying a Millenium Falcon style ship, that game was p cool for a Star Wars game.
