joeyc138 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Just curious what console everyone prefers most. Vote on the poll and leave your answers below in the comments My favorite retro console and a console that stands in my top 3 would probably be the Sega Dreamcast. It was the first to do so much of what we use today (online gaming and a web browser) and it had some of the best games in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkDante14 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) I doubt that PS2, Xbox and GC are exactly considered 'retro' but I voted for PS2, followed by PS1 and NES Edited September 2, 2011 by DarkDante14 corrected some retarded spelling mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAGLER69 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 sorry but NEO-GEO beats them all and turbo graphix 16!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Played both NES and SNES and both where favourites, but my first console bought for my own money was Nintendo 64. Together with Mario Party this was a time killer. Blisters inside of other blisters and sore thumbs where a reality back then - damn you "Paddle Battle" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4HymiMkW1Q]YouTube - Mario Party 1 Mini Games - Paddle Battle[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRkKnIgHt0815 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 64!!!!!! Next in line would be the original NES, but 64 is just flat out the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIE Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) either the NES or the SNES. i used to play lots of titles together with my cousin like kirby's adventure, duckhunt, yoshi's island and streetfighter 2. i allways played alot on consoles with my family and friends when i was young but funny enough i never really got to own my own console untill the last consolegen when i bought me a PS2. it was after then that i decided to put aside some money to collect all the old computers i used to play when i was younger. works pretty good that stuff doesn't cost a cent nowadays.

OD3N Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 My favorite retro console is my N64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetShoJustice Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 There was a point in childhood where the SNES released just as I was transferring to a new school. And the other kids there decided that they didn't like me because I was an outsider. For a few years there the SNES was literally my best friend. And although school was horrible, I always looked forward to the end of the day so I could go home and try to get a little bit further in Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Earthbound, or whatever else would give me a long, epic quest that would let me escape the unpleasantness of childhood. The SNES is epic and still the one retro console I keep hooked up to my TV on a constant basis. The thing is flippin' invincible too. Mine is dyed yellow (the outer case is hideous) from having been submerged for about 3 days in a flood. Once it had time to dry out it worked just fine; and still does. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatm1ke3 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Off that list, the playstation. But I disagree that most of the console's on that list classify as retro, there just not old enough to be retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhobiaB13 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Wow, when I think of retro gaming its all before N64! NES for me, closely followed by the Sega Mega Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the majority of this site to consist of kids though so I tried to include recent consoles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabreman25 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 N64 for sure. Still sometimes play games on it. Like Perferct Dark, F-zero X, Zelda and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eusivecom Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Retro = Commador 64. Thanks for making me feel old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STORMxPYTHON Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 My fave old school console is either the commodore 64 games console or my jap neo-geo. They are the only 2 I own that i still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) For me, it's the SNES. For one, it was one of two consoles that I NEVER had trouble with (the N64 was the other). That thing was built to last, and provided you didn't spill Coke inside of it, it just didn't break. The games were built to last, too. In addition, that system has so many great RPGs, it's not even funny. I keep dreaming that the Virtual Console will release gems like Earthbound, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, The Secret of Evermore, etc. etc. Edit: Oops. While I do still own my SNES, I rarely play it, because I only have a couple of games for it anymore (Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana).

Plaxinator Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I voted other as I still have my Commodore 64, but not sure if you would count that as a console. It's technically I suppose a computer? Edited December 23, 2010 by Plaxinator typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturia Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Nintendo 64 for sure, had all the best multiplayer games not to mention zelda series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviro Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 N64 no doubt about this... As mentioned above so much fun with a lot of multiplayer games. One of those was perfect dark, best shooter ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArcadeKid Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I wouldn't consider it retro just yet, but since it was there, I voted for the PlayStation 2. It plays PlayStation 2 games, it plays PlayStation games, it plays CDs, it plays DVDs, it looks great, it sounds quiet, it's reliable, the controllers are excellent... I could go on. The Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis) comes a close second, mind. It plays Mega Drive games, it plays Master System games, it looks great, it's completely silent, it's still reliable despite being second-hand and at least 15 years old, and the controllers are really great.

FootballPsycho Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I wouldn't consider it retro just yet, but since it was there, I voted for the PlayStation 2. It plays PlayStation 2 games, it plays PlayStation games, it plays CDs, it plays DVDs, it looks great, it sounds quiet, it's reliable, the controllers are excellent... I could go on. I agree. The PlayStation 2 is a little too young to be retro but it's awesome. The things you described made it great as well as the excellent standard of games & online support in some games. (That said, it was wired but oh well.) So for all of these reasons, I voted for the PS2. If I were to vote for a "more retro" system, I would vote for the SNES. Great games.
