The Best Video Game Console Was, Is

[Apöllo]

What do you think is or was the best video Game Console? To me, it would have to be Super Nintendo.

FYI I only included the systems that ROCKED! None of those loser Atari systems.

without a doubt, a modded xbox.

I'm gonna say super nes. It had so many great games that were great just because of game play. I think I'd still wanna play them 10 years from now. I'm not sure how much I'd feel that way about x-box or PS2.

xbox.

 

[manny78]

NES and SNES cause then came home PCs with powerful video cards, making console a bit obsolete...

 

[WalkingBeast]

SNES. Best games ever, that includes PC games too.

im torn between the genesis, the snes, and the dreamcast.

if you counted the gba sp as a console then i would choose that. it has pretty much all of the best games from the snes and nes era plus a plethora of excellent more recent games. its also portable, only 99bucks, and the battery lasts forever.

 

[chewyxrage]

you can't compare any console to the PC......

AND THAT'S THE BOTTEM LINE.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

modded xbox takes it- i wish i was a kid again and had one

BUT to me, nothing shines like the nintendo..those were some good times

 

[chewyxrage]

apple 2e was my first gaming experience followed by atarii-

atarii was the shit, i agree

 

[strider364]

I'm loyal to the nintendo, and then the play stations.


The game cube bites, I like the xbox, but those damn controllers are too freakin' huge. PC are in a whole differnet league, not better or worse, just different.

 

[fogg88]

I'm with nav and chewy on this one.

Even though the graphics/sound on atari were lame by todays standards, or even a decade's ago standards... all the games were original and different and fun to play.

Nowadays, games for the most part have lost that originality. First person shooters, 2-D fighting games, ...yawn.

NES


i still play it alot



LOL

 

[PIGEON-RAT]

dreamcast is still badass

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

SNES

my fav games were: Zelda, Super Mario World, and Illusion of Gaia

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

I grew up with Super Nintendo so it is the best, followed closely by PSX, then N64 and PS2.

Man, there are a lot of good systems missing from the list. I still have my NES and every so often I will pull it out. I still remember where every heart container is on both quests of Legend of Zelda and can beat them both in a could of hours without dying. I remeber the pattern to beat Super Mario Bros. when you get to the repeating part of the castle. And I could go on and on.

I agree the SNES had better games and I love that console too, but the amount of enjoyment that I got from the old NES back in the day is immeasureable.

Does anyone even remember something called the Vectrix or something like that? It was a little home arcade console with a built in screen? It was black and white and to get color, you had to use the plastic over-lays? It was pretty cool too.

Yes, I had a Vectrex. I really liked it a lot. Star Trek was my favorite game for it. It had Vector Line grapics so in a way it gave you better graphics the the other systems at the time. For those who don't know what I am talking about think the original Star Wars Arcade game.

Cool, someone else remembers this. I thought this rocked, but then the controls broke and my dad sold it at a garage sale. Man, I wish I still had it, I bet I could fix that controler now.

 

[RaZor Ramon]

My controller broke too. It still technically woked but the joystick wouldn't snap back into place like it was supposed too. Since it was off the market by that point I couldn't get a replacement. I ended up trading it for a bike. I already had nintendo and wasn't playing then it but I kinda miss it today. It was mad cool.
