[Ji@nBing]

[ChicoCahill]

i love nintendo but the ps1 changed my life with the first resident evil and then FF7

[CatnipOligarchy]

I'm gonna go with the NES just because of the ground it broke.. sure ataris were first, but not everyone had one.. everyone i knew had a Nintendo.. good times

[ForeverUnknown]

NES!!! man i need to hurry up and fix mine so i can bust out

[ggareis]

Definitly the XBox Im very upset that you didnt include it in the poll :crazy:

Great Games, XBox Live, Hard drive, Cd ripping, headphone/mic, & Great DVD playback!

Playstation 2.

I may have chosen Dreamcast, but I'm starting to really fall for my PS2 again... The next-gen FF's are just amazing...

Another abscure system I woulda voted for would be Phillips CDi... Only problem is, they made 8 games. Man ... playing Hotel Mario was awesome :)

I actually had a chance to play one of those silly things. Hotel Mario was actually quite good. And weren't there also a few Legend of Zelda's on it, even though they weren't made by Nintendo or something? I came across information on them once, they looked interesting. In one I think you could actually play as Zelda because Link got captured for once.

Super Nintendo, with PSX (that's PSOne today) as a close second.

Reasons: Final Fantasy. Breath of Fire. Secret of Mana. Chrono Trigger. The list goes on.

Need I say more? :D

And in every respect, the PSX was the heir to SNES, with all of those series having been continued on the PSX (not sure about Secret of Mana though). In fact, as many of you doubtlessly know, PSX was originally designed as an expansion to the SNES, but Nintendo and Sony went separate ways before the original PSX could be launched.

And some more reasons for SNES' greatness: Super Punch-Out. Yoshi's Island. Zelda 3. Zombies ate my neighbors. Super Mario Kart... :wacko:

Super Nintendo (SNES)

Has probably the best game library, and they are all just classics. :)

Agreed.

[forster]

PS2 - already had the PS1 games as a starting backbone when it first came out, enabling both who already had the PS1, and those who wanted to invest in the future with the PS2 to instantly have some fun :)

....PSX was originally designed as an expansion to the SNES, but Nintendo and Sony went separate ways before the original PSX could be launched.

So if I understand and remember correctly, the SNES did have a CD-ROM expansion, but only in Japan, and it later turned into the Playstation?

[Elithion]

Nintendo joined sony to make the cd-rom for snes, sony wanted the publishing rights to the cd-rom. Nintendo didn't like it so they made the cd-rom with philips. Soyn got angry and released the PSX after a while.

[Timan Veteran]

DREAMCAST OF COURSE! the best darn system, following that would be snes, xbox, playstation, nes, genesis, ps2, n64... :)

[perochan]

lol, xbox without emulate is like ****.

SNES all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought that the best System there ever was, was the 'Super Nintendo'. I had all kinds of games for it. :D

I looked up some info about it in a recent retrogaming magazine. No CD-ROM expansion for the SNES was ever released, in Japan or elsewhere. If it were, it would likely be emulated by now and public word of it be out on the emulation forums.

What I could find in that magazine was a picture of the original concept unit (clearly labelled "Nintendo PlayStation") and the following information: Sony was contracted to develop the audio chip for the SNES. When that went well, they were contracted to develop a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES, to be called "PlayStation". Something went afoul between the big N and Sony, N turned to Philips but never got anything out of them, and Sony took their unfinished product, boosted it and turned it into a standalone unit.

If you have a scanner or perhaps a digital camera could you post that picture?

i voted other

and i liked the Intellivision, i would of spent 5+ hours a day playing that thing as a kid! and i still have mine in working order too! and i got about 40 games!

[Darth Vikram]

Dude, you forgot the best one, Sega Genesis.

[KingChris]

Sega Saturn or Dreamcase (Shenmue)

[+StevoFC MVC]

snes is by far the best one.

[deadearth]

Dude, you forgot the best one, Sega Genesis.

Sega Genesis all the way. All 4 real sonic games on the Genesis (Sonic 1, sonic 2, sonic 3, and Sonic and Knuckles) were some of the best games ever made.

If any Mods who are gamers want to modify my poll to show systems that it should that i forgot, go for it. (Y) ;)
