SNES- BIG WINNER.
Why? Because of the games. It does not only feature some of the best QUALITY titles ever (Super Metroid and A Link to the Past), it also has QUANTITY. A lot of great titles in every possible genre. A knowbrainer for me.

Ps, Though in a way one could argue that Wii is the alltime best since it features SNES games along with NES,N64,MD,MS,C64 among others at VC and is compatible with Game Cube. That is unbeatable in the gamesdepartment!

My 60 gig PS3! This is just one awesome piece of hardware and the games just keep getting better and better.

A close 2nd goes to the ps2, unmatched library

And 3rd goes to the SNES. My opinion the best nintendo console. and yes I do have a Wii.



Sega megadrive.

I was gaming well before the Megadrive came out, (you know, on atari VCS & my Green screen Amatrad cpc 464) But the almighty megadrive was the 1st console that got me truly hooked on gaming, i'll never forget the days when myself and a group of buddies would all pile in to one mates bedroom and we would all sit there waiting in anticipation for our go on the console (with a beer in our hands to keep us occupied whilst we waited of course )

We would play all the multiplayer games like Street fighter 2 championship edition, Mortal kombat 1 & 2, Micro machines (multplayer heaven back then) Fifa 94/ 95 / 96, etarnal champions, Streets of rage 1,2,3.

Anyway, its due to the very fond memories that i have of my megadrive that keeps it as my all time fave console (Although the 360 is starting to gain ground)

Reasons i loved my Megadrive................

Sonic 1, 2 ,3 & Knuckles

Streets of rage 1,2 & 3

Outrun

Castle of illusion starring micky mouse

Golden axe

Road rash

Altered beast

Toejam and earl

Mortal kombat 1,2 & 3 (during the height of mortal kombats popularity)

Street fighter championship edition and Super street fighter 2

Comix zone

Shinobi III: Return of the ninja master & Revernge of shinobi

and many many more.......................

To be this good takes............ AGES

SNES is the best and Ps2 is a close runner up. The Ps1 gets an honorable mention.
Btw, I've noticed people that are saying courrent gen consoles... are you guys new to gaming? Courrent gen fails against past gens pretty hard. Specially because it's not over yet...

 

I posted original 80, 20 or 60GB PS3. With either you have access to the PS1/2 and 3 Library. Also said that if B/C doesn't count then I pick the PS2.

I didn't mean you. Don't get angry

It's just that is kind of weird seeing some people treat this gen like it's the ULTIMATE gen. It's really not. It's quite a weak gen, really. Sequels on top of sequels and not a lot of JRPG love. That is just sad...

 

 

Oh, ok. Just making sure.

 I agree with that.

In fact I get less fun each time a generation comes out.

I felt the same way because the games had become all serious and shit. Looked great -less fun. It was definately the Wii that put the FUN back into gaming ... but you have to open and willing to change. If you've just got it in your head that God handed Moses an analog game controller on the mount and everything else is heresy - or - it's more important to make fun of something than try it; then you may as well accept that it will only be downhill until you finally give up.

 



a tie between ps1 and ps2

PS2. Enough quality games to last a lifetime.

People saying current gen consoles must be new to gaming...

Or gaming for their entire lives, cutting their eye teeth on the NES before they even had conscious memory.

One of those.



The wii because I'm a flaming nintendo fanboy.
