Playstation vs N64 vs Saturn

**beetroot bertie** · April 21st, 2008, 00:16

N64 for me, then PS1, then Saturn but this is also a more accurate list of how much time I spend with each too.

I've never owned any of them and I've spent no more than a couple of hours on a Saturn playing Virtua Fighter and Sega Rally (although I bet Radiant Silvergun might help change my mind - that's something I'd love to have a go on). The N64 had the most play by far (mostly Goldeneye and Diddy Kong Racing and a Snowboarding game - 1080˚ I think) and was probably the most innovative in respects to introducing good analogue control/rumble and the graphics were great at the time. Plus it had 4 controller ports which made 4 player footy (the english sort) a blast. The PS1 was good too and I remember being really amazed when I played the first Tomb Raider game for the first time and saw Colin McRae Rally is motion. I guess it brought 3D and gaming more generally speaking to the masses. I found MDK quite amusing too, with the aliens waving the targets around. Never liked the D-Pad though, and still don't. I can't undersatnd why they've failed to improve on it after all these years.

I enjoyed them all, but probably had the most fun on the N64 so that's why I'd pick that as tops although I'd probably put the SNES above them them all if it was an option.

This was a tough decision for me.
But in the end, I chose Playstation.

N64 for me, back in those days I was a nintendo fanboy (kind of, cause I never knew better).

N64 had some amazing games: Mario 64, Super Smash Bros, Zelda OOT, Majora's mask, Conker's bad fur day, Mario party (all), Killer instinct gold, even pokemon stadium was good (cause I owned pokemon blue and got the chance to kick my brother's ass with my pocket monsters, just saying that makes me feel gay LOL, but mehh!)

Playstation had litteraly a ton of games but most of them had no quality (I just like Dino Crisis 2, Dragon Ball GT and FF8)

And for the Saturn, I haven't even seen one in my life

So it goes quality over quantity for me, N64 rules!!!!

I've not played the Nintendo 64 very much as I never actually owned one but Banjo Kazooie was good and a few othere.

Same goes for the Saturn but Nights into Dreams was ace and Panzer Dragoon wasn't bad either.

The first Playstation, well there's Crash Bandicoot and a few others I can't remember but those were fine as well. Like the two above, I didn't own that console just the same but this is stuff I have not played for something like 11+ years so I wouldn't really have that sort of money to spend back then.

Decision time.... and I would have to say prehaps the 1st one is the Playstation, 2nd Saturn and 3rd N64.

I'm an RPG fan. So I can't deny PlayStation had better software than the other two consoles.

N64. Some real crap on that console, but it has a lot of my favourite games ever...Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Mario 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong 64, Super Smash Bros., Conker's Bad Fur Day...The PS has Metal Gear and FFVII, amongst other true classics, but I've never had a Saturn.

Difficult choice, but I'd go with N64 every time.
