FAIL!

 

If you're a true gamer, you play on any console.




I literally laughed out loud at this one!

Hrm... no handhelds? Then I'm afraid you've nerfed one of the 3 that I see as vital. Because, sticking to my guns, the 3 critical systems to see gaming's finest are:

1. SNES

2. PS2

3. DS

If you're not going to allow the DS, though, I'm going to say the 2600. See where things were, and some of the games that led to the big crash.

Sega MegaDrive (Genesis) - Awesome first party games from Sega and solid 3rd party support.

PS1- Best final fantasy games IMHO. Also a ton of great platforming and racing games.

PS2- Most balanced console that covers all bases.

None, as long as you have a pc you're set.

This. A true gamer doesn't play consoles



"True gamer"

HAHAHA, OH WOW.

Not going to name any of the popular consoles since those are a given for true gamers.  

1. Neo-Geo

2. TurboGrafx-16

3. Master System



*Resists the urge to simply list the three consoles that I have personally had the most enjoyment playing, as pretty much everyone here has done.*

 

Actual must haves in order for you to call yourself a true gamer? Well they are quite clearly the consoles which, if you have not played, you cannot really understand the gaming industry

 

1) N64

2) Wii

3) iphone/ipod touch



NES
SNES
Wii



Pixel Art can be fun.

Launch 60GB PS3 (can play most PS1 and PS2 games through BC)

Powerful PC (can play SNES, genesis, master system, GBA, N64 games through emulators...of course buy the cartridge too so as to not feel guilty)

NDS
