The DCEmu Network Public Interview (Question #4) - Whats the Greatest Console Ever ?

[geise69]

Man Ridge Racer rocked and still rocks. It helped sell so my PS1 systems when it came out. It was one of the main reasons I bought a PS1 at launch. Well that and seeing the CG in Philosoma.

sega saturn here.
nights into dreams, baby.

SNES baby! All the way!

Turbo Graphix 16!!!!

It was out before the Super Nintedo and had graphics up to par. Plus, it was the first system that had a CD add on, which had better graphics and games then the Sega CD (the Sega CD version of "Lords of Thunder" was crap!) You could even watch CD+Graphics CD-ROMs, though there's only like 4 of them (we had a Jimmy Hendrix one that was pretty trippy .)

The books of YS will own you!

SNES, by far...Hell, before MGA2 came out, that's all I ever played on my PSP and I love playing my ol' SNES (v1) frequently, too . Unfortunately, I don't have all my favorite games for it (no Super Metroid!!) but it's still my favorite console .

Genesis second, though ..and N64 third...

For me, Sega's Saturn will allways have a special place in my heart.
It was the home to some of the most unique and original games ever (Soukyugourentai for shooter fans, Fighters Megamix and Marvel vs Streetfighter for fighter fans, NiGHTS into Dreams for everyone else!) and was one killer of a machine when chipped and modded. Oh yea, and lets not forget the Japan only Radiant Silvergun!
I was so sorry to see it go, after a wonderful six year relationship, but it was the only way I was going to afford to buy my Xbox, which does more than my Saturn ever could. I'm still torn between the two; joint fist place for the Saturn and Xbox

Sega Genesis + Sega CD

Because it gave birth to 3 great series:

Shining Force
Phantasy Star
Lunar

Whats the Greatest Console of All Time
Whats your Favourite Console of all time ?

Surely that should count as two questions yes? ah well no matter I shall try to answer it anyway & since theres so many I may have to split into times for a bit of this

I have to mention the mk 1 Master System of course as that was my first console & had a nice built in snail maze game that had a tuine thats infectious, towards the end of its life it also had a good Mortal Kombat that earnt it a good position in my memory, any americans here will wonder wtf I'm on about as it didnt do as well there of course.

I agree on the Snes front though as well, Mario World was a marvel & still is & when the FX chip appeared giving us Starfox, not forgetting SF2 on the way as well, it truly beat the megadrive into submission for a while so definatly a strong contender for best ever.

The N64 also should be up there as Mario64 was turly a revalation at the time redesigning the platform game forever, apart form the odd one thats done in 2D as in the old days of course, often imitated never really bettered. Throw in such classics as Goldeneye, Perfect Dark & Blast Corps (yes I like Ultimate) as well as Pilotwings64, Wave Race (wasnt bettered for wave effects for ages even by the GC Wave Race) & I think we may have a winner. The only possible competitors to it really are the Nes or Master System as they came along after the crash to lift the industry back up so if they arent crowned they at least should get a medal for that.

For the favourite bit of the question though I'll have to go to the Xbox for the reasons given in another post, the emulators + XBMC combined these two make it an all in one solution for many things.
