Your top five formats of all time

[frostwolf ex]

1.snes- the library speaks for its self,this is the home of actraiser and soulblazer, some of the best games ever.

2. DC- not as good as this board makes it out to be, but still pretty damn good, also gave me my first shot of online gaming with alien front online and pso.

3. GC- so far i am realy loving the library,plus a third party good library consdering the drought of the 64

4. N64- any system that has majora's mask,sin and punishment, blast corps,and oot must be ranked.

5.x-box- the most ambitiousgmaes ever hit this system, between fable andmorrowind, this system strikes me as havign a very good idea of what makes an enjoyable open ended game,plus the custom soundtracks and aggressive online component make this a strong system..now if only it had a better library.

saturn JUST missed the list, it had some kick ass games, with the shining games,legend of oasis,and the original panzers, but it just missed.

1. DC - Too much multiplayer competitive goodness. Sega Rally 2, SC, F355, VOOT, VT, TD lemans, Sega Sports etc.

2. Saturn - Nights, Sega Rally, and VF2. 3 games I played more than all the N64 and PSX games combined. I did play alot of goldeneye and AKI wrestling with friends though.

3.SNES - SF2 and mario kart when they were the best games ever.

4.Genesis -Awsome shooters galore and the only 16-bit game that was up there with SF2 and mario kart....HERZOG ZWEI!

5.PS2 - It's getting all the third party support right now and this generation is my fave.

How in the hell are the GameCube and Xbox making people's lists? The Sega CD alone had almost as many must-have games as those consoles. Perhaps you guys are the generation that started gaming with the PlayStation?

Heaven fucking forbid ANYONE have a different opinion than you.

Jeremy........what he's saying is that these consoles haven't lived for very long and their lineups are not very big. I agree with him on the Sega CD having more games then those two, but to each his own.

[Jeremy]

I hear what he's saying, but the way he says it makes him seem like an elitist.

I've been gaming since your momma was a baby, and I'd put GC before Sega CD.

The Dreamcast because it got me back into video games.
CPS2 because of mother fucking Street Fighter 2.
The Neo for Last Blade 2.

Thats about it.

I understand why the PC couldn't be included but I must add that Windows-era PCs especially have kicked major ass and have had some of the best games ever. There were a few years (1999,2000) where the PC was my favorite format. I wish more console gamers would appreciate it.

Yeah, but many PC gamers write off consoles and arcades as shitty, and many arcade gamers think that PC's are shit, etc, etc. Many people within these different gaming groups despise other types of gaming without even giving them a chance.

And my favorite era in pee see gaming was 94-97 This year looks like it's going to be one of the best.

Shadap bitch, Sega CD R00LZ.

That's other than his point. What he was saying that it's a bit early to include these systems.

As I stated in my post, I started with the SMS, playing Double Dragon and the Rocky boxing title. The reason i picked Gamecube is clear: I like it.

The Xbox was picked solely on its hardware specs. It doesn't have the robust library others do, but the thing has so much potential. Hopefully Fable and Halo 2 will tap it? I never had a Sega CD, or Genesis while growing up, so that could factor in to the issue.

Not that I have to justify myself, I like what I like.
