    What is your favorite gaming console besides the Genesis?

    Mine has to be the PS1. With titles like FFVII, (I know I am going to get some heat for that one) FFVIII, Ape Escape, Tomb Raider, Colony Wars: Vengence, Wipeout 3, Syphon Filter 1,2 & 3, Legend of Legia, Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2, FF Tactics, Guardian's Crusade, Mega Man Legends, and Tomba! the choice is simple for me. Now, what are your guys' favorites?

    Someone's gonna throw tomatoes at me but my favorite would have to be Dreamcast. It gives me classic Sega Action with modern 3d graphics, a nice combination. After that it'd be Saturn with it's huge original library.

    I really can't decide between Dreamcast and Saturn, both of them have great pros and cons.

    Without a doubt the SNES. I've always compared the SNES and Genesis to Ken and Ryu, two equally great rivals.

    Maybe the SMS or the Saturn or the TurboGrafx.

    Eh... that's a difficult one. I'd say that the TurboGrafx would be a solid choice though. Ys ftw.

    And as a side-note, Vehemont; despite my outspoken stance on FFVII, I actually hold FFVIII in much higher disdain. Perhaps I should switch my complaints to that game for this thread instead to add some variety to the mixture.

    I am playing through FFVIII for the first time right now so if you complain about it just don't add any spoilers! I have to say I am enjoying it even though it gets annoing to have to keep junctioning your characters. I like the story even better than FFVII right now. (Granted, I just got on the second disc.) Ok, back on topic, I also forgot to add Crash Bandicoot on my list.

    I almost reflexively responded with "Neo Geo, of course," but then realized that outside of a few games I really don't play it that much. It's more sentimental for me at this point than anything else. If there was anyone around here to play fighters with, it might be different, but there isn't really (and yes, that's an invitation -- if you're around Baton Rouge and want to throw down at some KOF, MOTW, Samurai Shodown, or whatever, get in touch with me).

    So outside of that, I'd say it's a tossup between my PS2 and original Xbox (and I'm leaning just a little towards the PS2). There are just so many good games for both of them that it could be years before I'm really tired of either of them.

    NES/FC... I've got LOTS of happy memories with that thing. DC would fit the category too...

    Saturn. It's the only other system that I own over a hundred games for. Everything about that system is just so interesting to me, for some reason. And I love the library.

    I am also a fan of PSX, SNES, Turbo Duo, Dreamcast, GBA (seriously), and I'm becoming a fan of Amiga. Some would say the latter two aren't gaming consoles, but they kind of are for me. My main method of playing GBA games is with a Game Boy Player, and my Gamecube is pretty much a dedicated GBA console (I play Gamecube games on my Wii). And Amiga, I don't have an Amiga computer, only a CD32 console, with a floppy drive added on so I can play regular Amiga games. I guess that kind of blurs the line between what counts as a computer and what counts as a console.


    You just can't handle my jawusumness responces.

    PlayStation and PlayStation 2. The PS comes before the Mega Drive for me.

    As I've only had three "major" gaming consoles in my life, the PlayStation comes second due to my teenie RPG-addiction period. My PS2 period was quite short and I got tired of 3D games so during that time I went back to the Mega Drive.
