Nintendo 64 Vs. Playstation Vs. Saturn

[tylerdurden]

Ah...my college days. Time to reminisce a little

I wasn't a hardcore gamer back then(as these were my college days and I had a lot of other distractions) but I do remember having a strong preference for Playstation when the console arguments would start. I remember my lame argument was something to the effect that the PS 1 CD's resulted in better graphics than what the N64 could do with the cartridges. Funny thing is when I think about which games I enjoyed most from this generation Goldeneye and OOT top the list. I also enjoyed NFL Blitz (I think) which was on the N64.

The PS games I remember playing and somewhat enjoying
- Tekken
- EA and 989 sports games (I was a huge fan of NHL games)
- Bruce Willis apocalypse game I think
- MGS
- Resident Evil
- Silent Hill
- Parasite Eve
- Crash Bandicoot
- GT

I never played a game on the Saturn, but someone in my house owned a Genesis. I played the crap out of NHL 95 on the Genesis, and literally thought I was the best in the world at it. I remember another group of our friends was hyping up this other guy. They had never seen me play and I had never seen this guy play. One night we were throwing a party and an argument broke out, so we ended up playing. There was prolly around 50 people crammed in our living room betting on the game and cheering and what not. Most of the people there cared nothing about gaming they just got caught up in everyone aruging about who was going to win. I ended up winning. Man was there a lot of trash talked before, during, and after the game. I sure wish online gaming and ranked matches were around back then.


Back on topic. Due to the longer list I mentioned I guess my nod will have to go to PS 1.
