Weekend Open Forum: What's your all-time favorite video game console?

I received my first video game console nearly 25 years ago, a Nintendo Entertainment System for my birthday in 1987. For the next 12 years or so, I owned nearly…

Drumroll... my favorite cosole is called a 'puter.

perfect dark on N64

N64 - great little console that was and so many classic games came out on it.

Sega Dreamcast, i loved NBA2k and soul calibur

Wii-keeps me in shape.

atari. many hours of enduro megamania bobby is going home.
classic!!!

The Turbo Grafix 16 at the time it was awesome, I kept it and played it till the green boards wore out on controllers.

SNES was great as a kid.

NES for me..

Dreamcast - Crazy Taxi, Shenmue, Sonic Adventure... so many reasons to love it.

That's a tough one... Dreamcast was certainly a great console and was incredibly underrated if you ask me; I still have mine too. I guess DC followed by either PS2 or first gen Xbox. Halo plus XBC owned my life for a little while... until I found HL2 and PC gaming. Before that I didn't really get into PC games.

For me it is definately the ps2, I'm not old enough to know anything before the N64, my first console was a N64 and ps1 at the same time, but I enjoyed metal gear solid more than mario and stuck with it, then the ps2 came out and that really was a great system, to this day I still have all my ps2 games and controllers and the console itself and I still have a play on it every now and again. Until the little buggar dies I'm going to be rocking my ps2 for plenty of years to come!

There are two that are carved into me. 1. Intellivision, a ton of good memories. I remember as a kid the selling point (so my parents/dad would buy it) was the Horse Racing game. My parents owned a bar and after closing he and a few of his friends would place bets on the horses. The second one would be snes and super mario. After getting it me and a friend played hookie from everything and played it straight through.

PS2, but I'm a PC guy

I've owned every Nintendo home console. NES, SNES, N64, GCN, and Wii. A couple years ago I tainted myself and purchased an Xbox 360. Though I only ever use my Xbox 360 as a Windows Media Center extender lol.

My all time favorite system is the SNES. Even to this day I play SNES games using emulators lol
The majority of my gaming time is on PC though.

Dreamcast

It was the most fun I have ever had playing games. Sonic Adventures and fur fighters are still at the top of my list of favorite games.

I have to say the computer. It is far more versatile than any console, and I like the controls and freedom (to change controls and settings) that you get in PC games. The only consoles I own are an old Genesis that I picked up out of nostalgia (I had a good friend who had one when I was a kid) and a Gamecube that I picked up so I could play Soul Caliber, Spiderman (both 2 and Ultimate), and a couple others.

In my opinion, the only problem with the PC is that a lot of game developers ignore it.
