Favorite '80s - '90s System?

[Moviefan2k4]

Just curious: what's your fave old-school system, and why?

 

[Hush]

Playstation, Twisted Metal series! Oh and Both X-men Mutant Academy's.

 

[Soapy]

Where is the Dreamcast?

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Snes.

 

[블라스]

Snes, with Psx as a very close second.

 

[Brainiac 8]

The NES will always be what I fondly remember when I grew up. It had such a huge amount of fantastic games that I played the death out of. SNES is a close second though, if for nothing else than giving me Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, and Secret of Mana.

 

[블라스]

Secret of Mana :heart: :heart:

 

[Brainiac 8]

It's on the Virtual Console to download Blas.

Have you done so? I demand you support it!

 

[Moviefan2k4]

Where is the Dreamcast?

My mistake; I thought it was released after 2000, but I was wrong.

 

[WolfCypher]

The SNES/Genesis era was and forever will be the best. BTW, the Game Boy family was and is my favorite systems (DS included).

 

[DA Dent]

N64 for Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye

 

[The Shredder]

NES, followed by the SNES.

Ah, so many fond memories.

 

[CashforStash]

I grew up with the PS1 so I voted PS1. It won by a hair aganist N64 cause of Mario 64

Atari 2600/NES split

Atari will always be the classic to me. Pitfall, Frogger, Space Invaders and Donkey Kong still rank as some of my favourite games even today (though the nes version of dk was better). I never actually owned one though until recently.

the NES was the first system I owned. I'd say it's all about the games. The game library is amazing and I still play many of them and buy them frequently. It really reignited the whole home video gaming phenomenon.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Demon Attack for Atari 2600 was pure bliss.

 

[Joker]

Genesis. It does what NintenDON'T. And, it had BLAST PROCESSING.

 

[Brainiac 8]

It's too bad that the Genesis' blast processing came at a price, namely poor graphical capabilities and sound processing than the SNES had. Plus the SNES had Mode 7 technology, which paved the way for seudo 3-D gameplay such as F-Zero and Star Fox.

hehe, this brings back memories of those battles between Sega fans and Nintendo fans. Those were the days.

Dude, you don't even know man. Blast processing is the future. It's so far advance that not even the people who invented it actually know what it means. That's ADVANCE man.

 

[Brainiac 8]

haha, I'll give it one thing, it made the first few Sonic games some of the most fun games to play like ever.

I'm surprised that blast processing didn't melt our consoles.

 

[Joker]

If Sega hadn't gone out of buisness, they would be releasing the Sega Revelations this year. It would have blast processing so powerful that it would send us hurtling through time and space, like that scene in 2001. And after we achieved oneness with the entire universe, the gates of hell would swing open, revealing blast processings true, dark origins, as armies of demons laid waste to the realm of man.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Sega's potential suddenly scares me.

 

[Immortalfire]

I had an NES of course, but for my true glory days of gaming...I'll say Genesis.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Had to go with the Genesis/SNES combo. While the NES was great and have many fond memories of the system. The Genesis/SNES combo was a little better to me, was a little older so could buy games with my own money, plus Funcoland was around so I could buy and sell games.

 

[Havok83]

Definetly the PS1 followed closely by the SNES

 

[Rukus]

PS1 and Sega Genesis.
