Both. As a gaming enthusiast, you had to own both. You can`t say either was better though N64 hold the greatest game of all time: Zelda OOT.

Remember one of the first PS1 Demo disc? The first one with Wipeout 2097 and Tekken 2? The techno soundtrack in the backround while choosing which demo to play. Unforgettable.

psone, I loved a few N64 games, but hated the controller for most games, and it was a bit too expensive for me when I was younger, ps1 games were sometimes 20 bucks less.

Never owned a PS1, but N64 had some totally epic, extremely fun and revolutionary games.

Despite what many people say, many Playstation games have aged well. Many of those that you have listed are examples of that. The opposite is ture in many cases as well, but I care only for the games I enjoyed and for the most part, they've aged fine and are still enjoyable today.

With RPG's being my favourite genre, PS1 is easily my choice for the better console here. To add to that, it pretty much covered every genre with, at the very least, decent games.

The only advantage I'd give the 64 over the PS1 is multiplayer. Although it may seem that I'm under-handing the 64 here, this was a huge advantage. It gave games that may have simply been average with two players a whole new fun factor by adding those extra players. For me it wasn't enough. The sheer amount of quality games (namely RPGs) on the PS1 made it by far the better choice for me.

I owned a Playstation with 12 games for only 6 months (I hated it) before trading it in for an N64 with Super Mario 64. I kept my Nintendo 64 and enjoyed playing it for 3 and a half years. It rates as one of my favourite consoles of all time. Games such as: Goldeneye, Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, International Superstar Soccer (64 & 98) and many other great games on N64.

N64. I mean I didn't own a PS1, so I'm biased. It's not that I didn't want one, I mean I was just unaware of it really. Didn't really have a reason to buy one; aka make my parents buy us one.

N64 it had the best game of all time + a lot of other great games but who cares about them when you had Zelda OoT :D

N64, hands down.

It's ultimately the most underrated and unfairly bashed system of gaming history. It's main titles were groundbraking revolutions for the time and helped to establish a the pattern of 3D gaming as we know today. They are:

Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Conker's Bad Fud Day (godfathers of 3D platform); GoldenEye, Perfect Dark and Turok (godfathers of console style FPS); Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Zelda: Majora's Mask (godfathers of 3D adventure); Mario Party trilogy (godfathers of 3D party games); Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing (godfather of 3D kart racing); Star Fox 64 (godfather of on-rails 3D shooter); Super Smash Bros. (godfather of fighters with platform elements); 1080 Snowboarding (godfather of 3D snowboarding games); F-Zero X and Extreme-G (together with Wipeout, the godfathers of futuristic 3D racers); Excitebike 64 (godfather of 3D motorcycle racers); Pilotwings 64 (godfather of 3D aerial sports games); Wave Race 64 (godfather of 3D jet sky racing); WCW vs NWO Revenge and WWF No Mercy (godfathers of wrestling games); International Superstar Soccer 64 and 98 (godfathers of realistic 3D soccer games)

If you played them back in the day you know how amazing and ahead of it's time they were (and still are).

Now PSX... in my opinion, the most overrated system of all time. Yes, I won't deny it's a great system, had groundbraking titles as well like:

MGS (godfather of stealth games), RE2 (the real godfather of horror games), FF7 (responsable for movie-like stories and CG shortcuts), Symphony of the Night (helping to put the Super Metroid style to a new standard), GT (godfather of realistic 3D racers), Tekken 3 (together with Virtua Fighter 2, the godfather of no weapons 3D fighters), Medal of Honor Underground (the first one sucked, this is the true responsable for WW2 shooters's success), Parasite Eve (a new level of CG shortcuts and a innovative gameplay), Xenogears (scifi RPG at it's best), Suikoden II, Silent Hill (a new style of horror games is born), Valkyrie Profile (RPG with 2D platform elements), Wipeout 3 (a new level of awesomeness of futurisctic racers), Rival Schools (3D fighting with 2D gameplay), Hot Shots Golf 1 and 2 (3D golf is born), Soul Edge (3D fighting with weapons is born), Lunar 1 and 2, Tony Hawk series (3D skateboarding is born).

BUT... many were overrated and overhyped average titles that didn't age well (yes, Tomb Raider, Driver, Twisted Metal and Syphon Filter, I'm looking at you right now) and a huge list of good, but not heavenly, games: the majority of Square games; majority of PSX's RPG's; majority of arcade ports, specially Capcom; RE1 and RE3; Crash and Spyro (please die in a fire if you put these on the same level as Mario and Banjo); Legacy of Kain; Ridger Racer, etc. IMO, if you aren't a big fan of the fighting and RPG genre (I'm not a big fan of RPG actually), PSX get tired after sometime (it happened to me) and PSX's best compared to N64's loses by a long shot. I can say I had more deceptions than joy with PSX titles.

PSX has a wide variety of games? Sure. More games than N64? Sure. More third-party support? Sure. But, as time goes by, you can feel that N64 games are trully unforgettable and ahead of it's time, despite the PSX quality.

A opinion of a both N64 and PSX owner.

ps1 by all means

One would think that with your profile picture, you would say N64
