.....
Super Nintendo has win all over it.
 
Define Old. Is old last generation, from the ninties, or earlier?
 
There we go.

Mostly 3rd-5th generation consoles, so basically the 90s.
 
N64, so many parties with that thing.
 
Well, I would certainly say the N64. Just so many awesome games and memories...

My only gripe was the crippling analog stick.
 
I cant believe Im the first to vote for dreamcast, jet grind radio and shenmue are two of my all time favorite games. Damn..so many creative niche games on that system, good times.

I always regretted never having been able to play Jet Grind Radio due to lack of a dreamcast, that game sounds awesome
 
N64. That was the only console you could invite people over to play Mario Kart 64 ALL night
 
Apparently Mario Kart 64 was really poorly received by reviewers, but I've never met anyone who didn't love it
 
Sometimes I wish I could start life over again from the age of six, just to experience that early-Nineties gaming again.
 
I know, I have such fond memories of playing N64 as a kid.
 
Sega Saturn, you ARE the best f*cking video game system of all time. You had two processors and far too many chips, and that made you hard to program; you weren't marketed well because Sega didn't support you like it should have; and your timing was off because you were released too early to compete with the Playstation (and you were more expensive), but you were still the greatest system of all time.

You had NiGHTS. You had Panzer Dragoon. You had Legend of Oasis, Astal, Princess Crown, and Guardian Heroes. Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers, and Last Bronx. And you were the best system for 2D fighting games, having the Street Fighter collections, the Alphas, X-Men: CoA and X-Men vs. Street Fghter. Up until Chaos Tower you were the ONLY system to EVER have a port of Vampire Hunter: Darkstalker's Revenge, the greatest 2D fighter in the history of time and space. Only on Saturn. And you had the Fatal Fury collections, and some of the King of Fighters. And you had the ram carts that allowed these games to run like perfectly as their arcade counterparts. And this is just a tiny handful of what you had.

I will always love you Sega Saturn. ;(

Streets of Rage 2!!

or actually that was on genesis
 
That's Genesis. You want something BETTER than Streets of Rage, on Saturn? Guardian Heroes.

3 playable characters? Ha! How about 45? Two player coop? How about six?! And you could level up your characters too.
 
I loved the SNES, NES, PS and the Saturn... but theres no ****ing way any could beat the N64. In my opinion, the N64 was the pinnacle of gaming.
 
N64 here. How I wish something could live up to its standard :(
 
Sega Genesis, Sonic and Cyborg Justice made my childhood, along with a little game called Heady (I remember that's what it was called, but can't be sure, you use your head to kill guys..).
 
The Sega Master System.

And you people make me feel old.

"waves wiimote as he is typing"
 
The Super Nintendo will definitely be the best console ever released.

Yea its unbelievably addictive. I almost bought a xbox just to get jet set future, but there was never enough good games on xbox for me to pick it up. Hopefully they wont drop the series like they did shenmue for the next gen.
 
Playstation was my first console (had others lying around the place, but they counted as 'family' consoles) but the N64 just blew it out of the water.

I will forever hum the tune from "Click Clock Wood" from Banjo Kazooie, fear the moon from Majora's Mask, spam Kirby's down-b attack in Smash Brothers, have fun blasting the shit out of Imperial scum in Rogue Squadron, throw my controller when the NPCs in Mario Party 3 cheat, totally think the dragon boss in Diddy Kong Racing was epic, relive my first first person shooter moments in Goldeneye (ha! killed him on the toilet), never think that there was too much collecting in DK64 and forever believe that Ocarina of Time is the greatest game of all time. Oh, and that first game I got called Super Mario 64 or some obscure title.

<3
 
Calling it "OLD" makes it seem outdated...which is interesting considering how vastly superior the SNES STILL is compared to the three consoles we have today.

I prefer the word classic. And the SNES is the best there is....the best there was...and the best there ever will be.

Especially the toilet comment. N64 ftw. I'm going to have to set mine up again. :D

I love you. You basically just summarized the first several years of my console gaming life.

Well, if "old" makes it sound outdated, it's appropriate, because these systems are all vastly outdated by current technology. That doesn't stop them from being completely awesome though.

I hear that, but for me it summarises what I did instead of work at uni.

I honestly can't choose between the snes and N64. It's all been downhill since then :(
 
N64, there can be no doubt. Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers etc etc.
 
I have never owned any of those systems, and only played them when I was at friends' places.

But I guess Playstation is the best.
 
My two earliest console-related memories, aside from a couple of friends who had NESes in the early 90s when I went to their houses, were seeing a display for Donkey Kong Country 3 and an SNES as Circuit City, long ago, as well as a Starfox 64 display.

I miss those days :(
 
Out of these I only owned the SNES, so I don't think I should vote.

Mikael - other? Let me guess - Pegasus? :D
