I've got the single worst knowlege bank when it comes to PC Engine stuff.
I would pick 1992-1999 PC, before it became mired in endless FPS and RTS clones.
1. SNES - The only reason I put this first is because I enjoy the 2D classics a lot and this delivers just that. The system itself was never overly impressive but the support for it was and I thoroughly enjoy it.
2. Xbox - I didn't go for support here, because 3rd party support is the Xbox's biggest flaw, in my opinion. There are few games out there that I want to play. I love the controller design (S version, of course) and the system itself is amazing. The snap off adapters on the controllers, the built in harddrive making memory cards obsolete, the out-of-the-box internet ready port, so all that I needed was Xbox Live. Great, great stuff.
3. Playstation 2 - Playstation compatibility is the major player here. Sony has a great lineup of exclusive 3rd party games or games that were made to take advantage of the Playstation 2. Its library always has fresh stuff, usually it did until recently when everything coming out is a sequel, it seems. But sequels or not, the PS2 being backwards compatable and having a strong library of its own makes me choose it.
4. Nintendo Gamecube - Like the PS2, compatability with the GBA's library makes me choose this. Games like Pikmin, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, Star Fox Adventures and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker make me choose this, and then of course the incredible library of GBA games such as the Wario games, or mario kart for GBA, or Super Metroid, etc. That makes this extremely valuable to me.
5. NES - I picked this system mostly for the nostalgia. I know you're not supposed to, but I did it anyway. This system is what really got me in to gaming, big time. Sega Master System got me in, this game peaked my interest. I wish I never sold it, and was a fool to do so, but because of this I choose it as #5.
Runnerups: Genesis.
1) SNES
Yoshi's Island, Super Metroid, and Tetris Attack more than justify it.
2) PS2
Sheer volume of games.
3) Dreamcast
The last bastion of 2D gaming. Totally unique.
4) Genny/SCD
Some of the best action games ever crafted.
5) Neo Geo
10+ years and it still feels like nothing else out there. Probably the "coolest" of all the consoles ever.
1. Dreamcast - It's got VOOT, Sonic Adventure, JGR, Shenmue, and then some.
2. PS2/PSOne - Bemani. SOTN. Metal Gear Solid. GTA3. Virtua Fighter 4 AND Soul Calibur 2. Mmm.
3. PC - Easily the largest library, and there are waaay to many excellent titles to count. FPSes rock my world.
4. Saturn - There are tons of great shmups and Capcom ports on this beast, not to mention the Panzer Dragoon games.
5. Don't make me choose between the SNES and the Genesis.
Wow, this was very hard. I had to leave out some favorites such as Dreamcast, Neo Geo, GBA...etc. I think if I had to limit myself to five consoles though, these would be my choices. It all comes down to the game libraries, each of these systems has the most amount of games that I enjoy.
Saturn
PS2
Genesis
NES
SNES
Sega Multi Mega (Mega Drive mostly, but with Sonic CD and the brilliant Keio Flying Squadron added in)
Playstation 2 / PSX
Dreamcast
Game Boy Advance
Saturn
I have to pick the Saturn as my number one choice. No other console has provided as much fun, or cunsumed as much of my gaming time, as the Saturn and I owned PSX and N64 at the same time.
Dreamcast: It was a short run, but oh what a great one. PSO, Alien Front Online, Street Fighter III, Crazy Taxi, Sega Bass Fishing, Samba De Amigo and so much more.
Super Nintendo: What can I say? The soundchip rocked, the 2-d graphics were beautiful and some of the best 2-d games ever, were on the SNES.
Genesis: Herzog Zwie, Shining in the Darkness, Phantasy Star II, The Strike Series, Sonic and so many other titles, made 16-bit gaming a reality and the NES old news.
P.C: There's no denying that the P.C. has had just as many legendary games, as the consoles. Wing Commander, Command and Conquer, Myst, Doom, Half-Life, Quake, The Sims, Freelancer, the best version of GTA:Vice City, Evercrack, and just about every emulation you could think of.
1. Genesis / Mega Drive
2. Dreamcast
3. Playstation / PSone
4. Nintendo Entertainment System
5. Game Boy Advance
