Favorite 5th gen system

Believe it or not, I'll take Tomb Raider(which is getting a complete overhaul for PS2 in a couple months ) over Mario.  I fell in love with that game & it's crusty controls

Saturn first, because it had Dark Savior. Playstation second, because it had Xenogears. I never owned a PC-FX so I can't vote for that one, and none of the others held any interest for me.

Believe it or not, I prefer the Saturn version of Tomb Raider over the PSX version.

I really tried to get into some of the sequals, but I only really like the original.

I hope that the Anniversary edition includes a 60 fps port of the original PC version.

And although I've questioned Mario 64's status as a groundbreaking legend, I still really love it and it was the first VC game I bought, even over the TG-16 games.

I'm actually playing a bit of Tomb Raider Legend, which I just picked up for 20 bucks, & I'm loving it!  I thought the first 3 Tomb Raiders were great, though, the 3rd one is where it started going downhill.  The 2nd one is my favorite, love the locales mainly!  If you get a chance, I'd check out Legend which was done by Crystal Dynamics, as is also doing the remake.  Core isn't doing them anymore, after the last game, which I heard was beyond terrible.  Other then Legend though, I must mention that I'm playing mainly Ys Origin right now!!!  I'm a happy camper, though I'll be happier when the english patch comes out!

The 360 demo seemed alright. Like most 360 games I'm interested, I'm waiting to get a cheap used copy.

Believe it or not, I prefer the Saturn version of Tomb Raider over the PSX version.

Believe it or not I'd rather just not play video games than play Tomb Radier. When it came out Tomb Raider made an impression on me for two reasons: the control SUCKED, and the graphics SUCKED (technically, and from an art direction standpoint).

Now that its 10 years old I can only imagine how terrible it must look since almost anything 3D tends to look worse every minute after its release unless its something like Rez (non-representational), or Mario Sunshine (powerful hardware combined with simple design).

A lot of people say they liked only the first Tomb Radier. I think that's like saying your first cigarette tasted better than all others; no they are all like that you were just tricked.

My first (and last) experience with Tomb Raider was a PC demo. I played it for less than 2 minutes before getting EXTREMELY bored with it. Never tried another one.

Well, then you all suck,.............just kidding.  We all have our own tastes, & I loved the first 3 TR's, & the new one is really sucking me in, I played it until 5 am this morning, I just couldn't put it down for some reason

Depends on the brand you smoke. Id say if you started off with a nice Menthol like a Newport or a Kool and then lowered your standards to a Wal-Mart brand then there is a pretty big difference.

And yea,I hated Tomb Raider too,never liked any of them,even the new ones.

It's like games like Toshinden or many early 3D RPG's, the gimmick of that kind of a 3D game was the appeal at the time. But like many other games that haven't held up so well, it's tied to my early memories of the Saturn.

Although it's not a masterpiece, I do like pushing up to move forward in 3D games. I hate having to constantly change movement of an analog stick to match the direction of a wonking moving camera in some games.

Tomb Raider had great graphics for when it was released, I don't know anyone who thought the game looked bad.  It's funny how the original Tomb Raider ripped off Prince of Persia's control scheme, and now the new one ripped off the new Prince of Persia's control scheme.  Totally sweet.

Yeah, I think that happened with a couple other series', but can't remember which exactly at the moment.
