POLL: What are your 4 favorite consoles?

[termis]

Would've been NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, DC -- which is one more than allowed by the poll, and couldn't decide on which one to leave out till the very end...

[esteban]

Narrowing down to only 4 consoles is difficult.

In order of importance, my votes are:
Xavix

[oldskool]

Hmm..  interesting, I never knew that.  Always thought ATI was responsible for that.  Or did ATI work with NEC to make their chipset?

ATI did the Gamecube, you might be thinking of that.

I voted SMS, Mega Drive, Saturn and PlayStation. I had a hard time choosing between the Saturn and Dremcast though. I wish I could change my vote now as I just remembered all the great times I had playing PSO.

I could have swore that I allowed people to change their votes, because I knew that there could be some confusion with so many options, but maybe I didn't.

Hmmm someone voted "Others not on this list", I wonder what console that may have been?  Maybe the C64?  I didn't include the C64 and TI because I figured they were more like CPUS than consoles.  Same with the PC.

NES, SNES, PS1-3, & Neo Geo for the win!

[TR0N]

PS2/3 together?

Well I figured since the PS1, PS2, and PS3 are all backwards compatible, I'd just add them all as one, same as I did with the Xbox and 360.

Dammit, I knew I forgot something, I added the Studio II and CD-i to the list.

PS2/3 together?

Well I figured since the PS1, PS2, and PS3 are all backwards compatible,

Well all PS3 can play PS1 games but still only the 20GB,60GB and early 80GB models can play PS2 titles.While the current slim is bc for PS1 games.

Sega Genesis/CD/32X/CDX
Sega Master System
Sega Saturn
NES

[Joe Redifer]

I voted:

Sega Genesis/CD/32X/CDX
Sega Master System
Sega Saturn
SNES

I chose SNES over NES simply because I had more fun with it.  I felt that the Dreamcast was very "un-Sega"-like, so I didn't choose it.  It was also loud and slow and had some of the shittiest controllers ever.

man, I love the dreamcast controllers!


I like them more than dualshock!  the dpads especially.

[termis]

Yeah, DC was great, but I thought that controller was a travesty.  Two less face buttons than the Saturn, and I thought the angle where you had to hold them was super awkward (your wrists were sort of facing inward, which I found super-uncomfortable).  Especially going from the Saturn mk2 pads, which are my all-time favorite controllers.

Anyway, enough with the bitch session, the games on the system were great though.

It's PowerVR based and built by NEC; PowerVR doesn't manufacture anything, but rather license others for manufacturing after they do the design work.

It might be Keranu voting for the Pippen. 

[Joe Redifer]

man, I love the dreamcast controllers!

My brain just broke.

[ceti alpha]

haha. Well, some people really do love the gynormous controllers. Xbox definitely got inspiration for their first line of controllers from the DC. I actually don't mind them either.

I think I might have forgotten to vote for Xbox. I don't really play it much for the games, but I use it daily as a mediatank - mostly for music.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Playdia is the BEST!

[oldskool]

The Playdia and Pippen are not on the list.  It was hard coming up with what I already did on the list LOL.  You'll just have to vote for those in OTHERS.

Anyone that votes in OTHERS, it would be nice if you stated what the other console is that you are voting for, just for everyone's information.

Looks like Sega is running away with this.  I'm actually a bit suprised by this with all the Sega slamming that goes on around here.
