What is your favorite old school console?
 
My favorite is the SNES.

*Note: Not all old school consoles were included in this installment.

My next door neighbor had a Dreamcast. I loved playing games on it. I remember playing a game called... I think it was Rush 2030.

The best game that was ever released on the Dreamcast was a game called Evolution

We also played Soul Caliber a lot. Though I remember not being allowed to play that till I was like 12.

My answer is probably already known to about half of you.

I've been playing MK3, Street Fighter II Turbo, and NBA Jam. It's a nice change from Diablo 3 and Halo 4.

I never got to experience anything other than Super Mario Bros. and SMBs3 on the NES. Later, I had Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Earthworm Jim for Sega Genesis, and finally, my PSX, which holds many games and memories for me. So I'll have to go with PSX. I suppose being the youngest here /will/ give me that right, though.

Might I point out that the "PSX" was actually a DVR that also played PS1 and PS2 games. The original PlayStation was abbreviated as "PS" (or "PS1" when it became clear that there would be more).

My first console was a PlayStation, at Christmas 1998 (I think it was then - came with the original Spyro the Dragon, and I can remember buying the second when it came out in 1999). As such, I never actually played on other consoles. Got a PS2 around 2002, then a PS3 on the EU launch day. The first console I played on that wasn't part of the PlayStation family was an Xbox 360 at a friend's in the run up to the PS3 launch.

Well excuse me, then. I was never informed of such a thing, or it's existence. It's going to be awkward abbreviating it as PS, now.
My first PS game was A Bug's Life, followed by a demo disc that had Tomba, Gex 2, Tekken 3, and some other games on it. That one really broadened my horizons, I think. Basically a game or two of every genre, other than RPG.

SNES: Too many games to list.
N64: Super Mario 64, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Super Smash Bros. were the main ones I've played. There's alot more I should've though.

Douchebag, whose post did I reply to? Untwist your panties.

HandOfHeaven 2013-01-26 11:14 AM

Thanks for the clarification Lenny. I was referring to the PS/PS1 in this case. Feel free to change the poll if you so desire.

The PlayStation (Japanese: プレイステーション Hepburn: Pureisutēshon?, officially abbreviated as PS; sometimes referred to as PS1, or unofficially as the PSX[10])

Well, I said PSX, too, so it still kinda applied to me. ;_;

!King_Amazon! 2013-01-28 12:18 PM

It's a stupid point for Lenny to make anyway. PSX is more commonly used to describe the PS1 than it is to describe the obscure device he's talking about. While it may not technically be correct, it is colloquially correct and should be properly understood by whoever the information is being communicated to. If someone were actually talking about the PSX device that Lenny referred to, it would likely make perfect sense in the context. In this context, PSX makes perfect sense for referring to the PS1.

tl;dr: Lenny is being a dick

It's kind of weird how K_A comes to my rescue a lot of the time. My knight is shinning armor <3

I got a power cord for my NES today; been playing Contra nonstop.

Skurai 2013-02-08 12:49 AM

I'm very surprised to find my Pokemon Red still works, but my Silver does not...

No love for the NES or the N64. I mean the NES arguably revived console/at home gaming. The N64 was also pretty revolutionary for its transition of mainstream gaming to 3D. Both had a pretty large compliment of great games as well.

I ultimately have to say the NES:

SMB 1 & 3, Punch Out, Track and Field, TMNT 1 & 3, Castlevania I,II, & III, Zelda I & II, BattleToads, River City Ransom, Megaman 1-6, Ninja Gaiden I, II, & III, Metroid, Double Dragon I & II, Contra/Super C, Bionic Commando, Final Fantasy I, II, and III.....

Feel free to add more.
