I would make this a poll but there are way too many options as far as games go. Feel free to vote for your favorite console, then discuss the games below. Waa waa we waa!

 

handhelds not included... sorry, not enough poll spaces. I bundled all of the old Ataris together under the retro thing because there were too many of them to put individually. I listed all I could think of off the top of my head, so just click 'other' if yours isn't on here.

    Hard choice between SNES and Genesis, but Genesis is my first love.

    I'd have to go with Playstation.

     

    That console had soooo many classic titles and still today is the best console ever made. Noone elses games library beats it and it's where all major titles today inspired by or have become successful because of it. Until then FF for example was a very underground game.

    Until Playstation games were made for kids, thats where games like GT and GTA stepped in.

    For me it would be the Genesis (called the mega drive over here).  This was my first real console.

    I'd also like to say the Dreamcast had amazing games too but most of them have been ported.

       The Snes was by far my favorite console of all time. I think I liked it so much because it had so many computer game ports. Generally speaking back then the console ports of games such as Simcity ran better and had more to do. In all honesty I owned the Snes for maxis games. Simant, Simearth and Simcity took more hours of my time then any game in all my life. Then there were games like Actraisers, EVO, Mario Paint... can you tell I was into creative games hehehe.

    The Commodore 64 wasnt a console, but if it is going in the list you have to include the Sinclair ZX series and the BBC Micro (Elite anyone? without which Eve would not exist).

    the artwork and animation by ourselves. :P



    Technology has come quite a ways.

    SNES, as that was the current-gen console when I was at my youngest gaming days.

    Game-wise, I'll go with my favorite game of all time, Chrono Cross for the PS1. Amazing visuals, amazing music, great battle system, tons of great characters, etc. The list of good things to say about this game goes on and on.

    Ps-amazingly it accrued some very playable games, and dreamcast, never had one but friend did and they were fun.

    My first console was NES, then SNES, N64, PS, PS2, and finally XBox.  Of all of them I'd have to say N64 and my fav game of all time GoldenEye!  The 4 person multiplayer action was insanely fun.  Now I generally game with a computer but its a solo deal.  Either playing BF2, EQ2, Eve or any other PC game.  Sure I have a few friends who still game, but they are at their place in front of their PC.  This part of gaming disappoints me.

    Commodore 64 FTW!

    The Commodore 64 is the best selling single personal computer model of all time.[1] Released in August 1982, the Commodore 64 is commonly referred to as the C64 (sometimes written C= 64 to mimic the Commodore company logo) and occasionally known as CBM64 (its model designation), C-64 or VIC-64 (a label used by some users, magazine writers, third party advertisements and also by Commodore in Sweden [1]). The Commodore 64 casing has affectionately been nicknamed the "breadbox" and "bullnose" due to its shape. Introduced by Commodore Business Machines in August 1982 at a price of US$595, it offered 64 kilobytes of RAM with sound and graphics performance that compared favourably with IBM-compatible computers of that time. During the Commodore 64's lifetime (between 1982 and 1994), sales totaled around 17 million units.[2]


    Processor MOS Technology 6510 @ 1.02 MHz (NTSC version) / 0.99MHz (PAL version)
    Memory 64KB
    OS Commodore BASIC 2.0

    Over 10,000 titles

    Might & Magic I & II

    Bards Tale

    Original Spy Hunter

    Pitfall

    Summer Games

    Boulderdash

    Ace of Aces

    Forbidden Forest (quite possibly the cheesiest most violent game of it's time)

    *** Edited when I saw that the price point closely resembles that of the current PS3 system, I wonder where this one will end up in history***

    my first "console" was, not really a console but close enough, a Toshiba MSX, got some konami games for it lol and games like the first Valis, Salamander, Gladius and The maze of Galious were great, but my favorite was definitely my Snes, games like Chrono Trigger, FF3 (6), Secret of Mana, All the Mario games (Mario RPG, Mario all star, Mario Kart, Mario World, Yoshi's Island etc), Starfox (amazing at the time), Castlevania IV, Super Ghoul's n Ghost, Ogre Battle, and lot's and lot's of others...

    I had this console. It's the only one I've ever owned.

    image

    It plays Pong variants and needs batteries.

     

    My favourite old school game would have to be Monster Mazogs. This is the first computer game I owned that I didn't have to manually type in myself. It cost £4.99 back in 1981 and made a great break through in graphics. Using only a software enhancement it jumped screen resolutions from 30x20 to 60x40. It was the technology title of it's day and is the no.1 best selling ZX81 game of all time.

    image

    It's a maze game, you have to follow the "this way" signs before it times out. Each time you pick up a sword you can kill 1 mazog. I think I got it to load successfully 3 times.

    It runs on this 1k miracle of computation.
