These lists are usually opinion laden, but all things considered its a nice list. I would place the NES a little higher personally, and the Saturn lower if it was my list. But its not, so biggie.

I definitely disagree. Neo Geo (in particular!), Gamecube, Atari 2600, Dreamcast or Turbo Duo would not be on my list.

Playstation 2 would be number one for me, that's for sure. As for the rest, I'm not sure.

Playstation2: yeah, It probably could make someones #1 easily.  But I have had some 'bad' experiences with it.  Especially with the shoddy hardware. I'm now moving onto my 3rd PS2.....

What makes a game or a console good or bad?  I often wonder how people judge certain games.  Isn't it weird that some games are rated total crap yet you seem to enjoy them?  I think about stuff like that alot.

To me personally whether I enjoy a game or not usually has alot to do with the surrounding people or situations. Example:  (If I had just been dumped by the love of my life, and my grandmother died.  Then I will probably despise the game that I rented earlier today.) Even if its truly the most well polished game made, I will always asociate it with the current events of my life.  Does anybody else feel this way?

Kasumi Ninja for the Jaguar is the primest of examples.  Its *intercourse*ing terrible I'll admit even that.  But when you get a group of guys playing pass the paddle for a while suddenly its almost like watching an episode of South Park.  The Game is so Stupid that somehow its almost fun.

I find mediocre titles and consoles attractive.(Hense my recent purchase of the Atari Jaguar) Its almost like a challenge to uncover the fun in a game that nobody else has been able to find.

I've also always been a fan of the underdog.  During the 16-bit wars I supported TurboGrafx16, during the 32/64-bit wars I supported the Sega Saturn.  I don't know how I became this way, I just am.  Is that odd?

My opinions are based on experiences that I have with the consoles.

Of course the list doesn't exactly fit my tastes perfectly, but it's an ok list to me. I personally would make the top three Duo, NES, and Genesis.

I share pretty much the same opinions as you, Turbo Sage. I've also always preferred the more "unusual" systems. However, I don't require a system to feature good games, the look of the console itself can be good enough for me to love it.

I used to think the PS2 was crap (when I first got it), but then I got some games that really charmed me, and after that I became a huge PS2 fan. There's so many games that I love on that system.

I played Breath of Fire during a very hard time of my life, and now I hate that game more than anything in this world, so yes - I know what you mean. :wink:

1.  PS2 - Works for me.
2.  Genesis - It would be on my list, but not #2.
3.  Master System - No.
4.  PS1 - Never! I hate the PS1! Almost as much as Breath of Fire! :wink:
5.  Xbox360 - This one is almost just as bad...
6.  SNES - Would be somewhere on my list. Somewhere around 2-4.
7.  Saturn - Yeah, this works.
8.  Xbox - Not a chance in the world. Not ever.
9.  Intellivision - No. I consider everything pre-1984 crap.
10. Jaguar - Definitely not. Atari disgusts me.

SNES, Game Boy, PS2, Mega Drive, Saturn and maybe NES would definitely be on my list. Possibly Game Gear (I love portable consoles) and N64 too.

Crap on a crap cracker.

PS2 does not belong in the top 10. Neo Geo never was '24 bit'. Gamecube should be lower, Dreamcast should be higher, etc.

My top 10:

10:Colecovision
9:Sega 32x
8:Atari 7800
7:Sega Genesis
6:Nintendo Entertainment System
5:Sega Master system
4:Dreamcast
3:Super Nintendo Entertainment system
2:Turbo Duo
1:Sega Saturn

Not a bad list, by any means. Of course I'd get rid of PS2 entirely (I'd actually put in PS1), bump up Genny and NES to top 5... drop Neo Geo down...

drop GameCube down to #10...

You know, that sort of stuff :)

Any list that has Gamecube as top anything other than "total failure in every possible way" is not to be trusted.

so why just no PCE in your list? and why you're in this forum? (to mean no harm, just curious) :D

I actually think my list of top 10 systems would be almost the same as turbo sage's as long as we're not including handhelds. The order would be different but it'd be the same systems except i'd probably swap the 2600 for the sms. The 2600 is most definitely a more important system in video game history. However the master system was my first system so it's got some sentimental value for me. Plus, due to my age(20) I find pre-nes games to be a bit too primitive for me. Also i'd probably put ps2 instead of playstation due to the backwards compatibility. My list would be something like:

1. Turbo Duo
2. Snes
3. Genesis
4. Playstation 2
5. Nes
6. Neo Geo
7. Saturn
8. Gamecube
9. Dreamcast
10. Master System
