Which video game console do you like best, and why?

**Spooky05** · 03-19-2002, 10:54 PM

my sega saturn, because it resides in my room and i can play sonic whenever i want to.

I like GBA, portable.

**Bird Boy** · 03-20-2002, 01:44 PM

Cube
PS2
XBOX

I don't even OWN a PS2..lol

I like Cube because for me, the games are fun to play, and I've only found 1 (maybe 2) on XBOX so far that are fun...

I just can't think of the GBA as a system...it's fun as heck though.

I like the Gamecube because of Smash Bros., and the XBox for Dead or Alive 3, and the PS2 for Grand Theft Auto 3.

Dreamcast- Wide variety of games, cheap and fun

Cube-Tons of fun games and this is only the tip of the ice berg

PS2- Wide variety of gamesand huge library

GBA-Huge library, portable and kick arse...

Batman: Vengeance (my first and only game so far) is great!

I like all Gameboys. Because you can lie down and play them.

**Batmex** · 03-20-2002, 09:33 PM

I've still got an old SNES upstairs that I play every time I wanna unwind. Can anyone help me out of World 3-4 in Lost Levels?

I was one of those rabid Sega fans that owned a Game Gear. Tell me, what does the GBA have that the Game Gear didn't?

NES. The classics never die.

My three favorite consoles of all-time have to be the NES, Super NES, and PS2 (with the PS1 considered as part of the PS2; it's kind of a derivative system, due to its backward-compatibility).

Sega makes great games, but I never liked their consoles.

The NES and Super NES were superb, but the Nintendo 64 was horrible. Since the Gamecube is new, I haven't made a decision about it yet, but it looks promising at this point.

The XBox doesn't look very appealing. The only thing it has that the PS2 doesn't is a hard drive. Plus it's so BIG.

The PS2 (and PS1) ROCK. They have a huge library of great games already, and the system is still young! Squaresoft, Konami, Capcom, EA Sports, Sega, etc. -- they ALL develop games for the PS2. How can they not?

I never liked portable systems, regardless of who made them. They're too small (they hurt my large hands when I hold them for too long!), aren't back-lit so they're hard to see, and usually contain games that are either (1) puzzle, (2) special editions of games that came out on older systems, or (3) derivative versions of video game franchises.

Anyway, that's my $0.02.

Basically The GBA is a wee bit more powerful then the Snes and the Game Gear was basically a portable Master System. To compare the capabilities of the GBA and SNES just check out Doom. And it's a first generation GBA game.

Anyway my fave Console is the Sega Mega Drive. It has the 4 best Sonic Games Ever and I have Earthworm Jim and Mickey mania that totally Rock. Gotta find Aladdin!

The Dreamcast rules too though, but For the future I'll probably get the the Cube. Nintendo made a 100% games console, while Sony and Microsoft made this hybrid thing that playes games.

Also the sonic games are Cube bound. Can't forget Super Monkeyball either

I'm afraid my SNES is collecting dust in a closet somewhere.

The Game Gear consummed bateries way too fast, GBA is 32 bits and the bateries last much longer than expected also the Game Gear didn't have many good games.

Amen to that! heve you seen/played Super Mario Advance 2?

**Lucky Bob** · 03-21-2002, 02:29 PM

Yeah, the Game Gear fell victim to Sega's lously marketing. But have you noticed that the Game Boy still doesn't have a self-luminating screen?

**Gyro** · 03-21-2002, 05:50 PM

You know what people don't give the Nintendo 64 enough credit. It has some of the best games ever made for it. For some odd reason no one likes this system, and I can't figure out why!

**JTurner954** · 03-21-2002, 05:53 PM

I choose the Playstation 1 over the N64 mainly because of the price and the good prices of video games.I felt so bad because it was the first time I went against Nintendo.

I WILL NOT buy a Playstation 2. I want to build up to it, so I will get a N64 first (and get an SNES back in my posession).
