umm you shouldve put GB/GBC/GBA under one category.. as well as PSX/PS2.. and added X-Box and DEFINITELLY Saturn.. it has a huuuuge cult following.. Genesis as well.. :/

but i chose PS2 only because it runs PSX games as well.. if it wasnt for that, PS1 would've been my choice.. :yes:

Nothing of course will ever replace the PC for high performance gaming. But since we're talking consoles here I'm going to say the XBOX because not only is it a great system in itself, it also emulates almost every other console made up through the PS1 and N64.

Are you kidding me??? Sega Dreamcast isn't on your list?!?! It's the greatest system ever. I still play it - and I have Xbox and a good PC among others. I can't beleive it's finally over. I bought tons of games, got the broadband adapter, and played online all the time.

I didn't think the CD-ROM ever made it pas prototype.

It made it faaaar past prototype, it's better known as the Playstation :laugh:

No, really it is - I'm sure you could find info if you google it.

I'd have to go with either the Snes or the Dreamcast, however the xbox is building up a spectacular library of games.

It's all about the Saturn baby.

Sega was more innovative in thier last days than Nintendo will ever be. Too bad American gamers just want madden XXXX, and rehashes of the same crap over and over again.

Examples:

Panzer Dragoon series

Dragon Force series

Shining Force series

Nights into dreams

Daytona USA (Online too)

The best 2d capcom fighters due to the ram cartridge

So many more, if only the system would have sold well. I'd love to get Panzer Dragoon Saga and a Saturn.

SNES all the way! All of the game franchises that are now on the PS2 exclusively started on the NES or SNES, and definately made themselves important on the SNES.

Some of the greatest games of all time came out on the SNES.

Mario World

Zelda

A bunch of Final Fantasy games

Gradius III

and more!!

The GameBoy series of systems is number two... because it's lasted for 14 years and is still going!

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
