1. PS3 (Being able to play PS3, PS2 and PS1 games on the same machine is very cool)
2. Sega Saturn
3. Sega Dreamcast
4. PC Engine Duo
5. SNES

An Misa...wow, you picked some of the shittiest systems ever. I'm appalled!

Wow, comming from you, that must be a huge compliment!   If I can appall a Bizarro, I must be voting right.

1. Turbo Duo
2. SNES
3. Sega Saturn
4. Neo Geo
5. NES


The 360 is rising up my charts though.............

...not easy...

1. Turbo Duo - the look and the capability. The Turbo/PCE debuted in 1987 and was still releasing games into 1994 (if not longer. I've never actually been clear on when software stopped being mass produced for the PCE/Turbo).

2. NES - Not the best hardware, but tons of software make this system a second favourite of mine.

3. Xbox - Halo and Halo 2, Burnout 3, EA Sports games (all were superior on the Xbox), Xbox Live (Sony has never even come close to the functionality of Xbox Live), the Xbox Media Center (my Xbox is getting more use now with xbmc than ever before).

4. GBA SP - Not only can I play old NES and SNES games on this extremely well designed portable, but I can also play old arcade classics as well. Oh, and not to mention that the GBA will also emulate Turbografx games. I'll have to try that out at some point. Here's an emulation comparison video of a GBA vs GP2X:

5. SNES - Though I've never owned one, I've logged many, many hours on this baby. Whether it was Street Fighter II, Rock 'n Roll Racing, Zelda, R-Type games, or Star Fox, my thumbs got sore on this machine.

Honourable mention goes to the Atari 2600. It's just classic. I killed Bezerk....killed it.

If your talking about games,The last game made for the pc engine was Dead Of Brian 1&2 in like july of 1999.Not counting the homebrew mindrec shit.As far as the last turbo grafx game,thats always up for constant debate.

@Missa: No PC-FX or PCE? 

Here's my picks:

1.  Turbo (duh!)
2.  GameBoy
3.  Dreamcast
4.  2600
5.  SNES

Not counting the homebrew mindrec shit.

Should portable systems really count as consoles though? To me, I always classified consoles as video game systems that hooked up to your TV (or came built into their own respected monitor, like Vectrex  ) and loaded games using whatever type of media form.

[Tatsujin]

yeah..literally a portable is a handheld and not a console. but since the usage of both is almost the same, i would count it to the console category, or let's simply say "video game systems".

Here are the consoles that I choose for this voting:

1. PlayStation. My favorite console of all time! Tons of great games on it and I've had so many fond memories. I don't know where I would be if it never came into my life!
2. Nintendo DS. My favorite handheld of all time. I've had some great times with the games that I've played for it, plus it is able to play Game Boy Advance game when need be. I also like its style of 3-D graphics (along with the PlayStation).
3. TurboGrafx-16. Quite an impressive console. Its graphics and It's also able to play Super CD-ROM game, too. I can't wait to play its games in real experience somehow.
4. Nintendo Wii. So much exploration of the past is possible through Virtual Console. It also has a number of more interesting games to me than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It can also play GameCube games, which there are definite titles I want for that system.
5. NES. Lovely. Although I've only played eight of its games through emulation technology on other consoles, I've had happy moments with them. I would also like to explore more from this console to experience the great classics that it had brang for its time.

Heh, heh. That's because you and Keranu are best buddies  ! You two will go wherever one or the other goes! You're both practically inseparatable.

I can't help it.

He constantly links me to high quality threads in #lazerdorks.  I couldn't resist posting in the MGC thread when Marty showed up. 

I had an old account before this one back when you had to register to read the site (I think...?  Maybe I am forgetting things in my old age.). Maybe I should switch to that one again as my PPD is over 1 again.

Anyways, to stay on topic, I seriously think you can't beat the Saturn if you include Japanese releases.  It honestly has everything.
