PC/PC/Turbo Grafix 16 or Turbo Duo

Ys and Bonks Revenge were two of the funnest games ever.

P.S. The Commodore 64 was ahead of its time and I personally loved having it around as well. Just not enough to pass up the only good console systems NEC (with some Hudson Soft employees) put out in the late '80s through the early '90s.

PC/Xbox/Other (Sega Gamegear)

Gamegear is just, you know, amazing. Got one, sure, it's kinda bulky, but the games and graphics were world beating. Plus, you could use it to kill people, just a well aimed blow to the neck and *thud*

For some reason that reminds me of a CAD comic :|

PC/PS2/SNES

PC had too many good titles coming this gen to ignore, not to mention nearly every 360 game is ported over to PC eventually. PS2 was the undisputed king of last gen, 110 million owners can't be wrong. SNES is the ultimate classic console imo, best for 2D rpg's, platformers and had some great 2D fighters as well.

360 or PC/PC/N64:))

thats basically what i voted for;)) ... although i ended up choosing PC/PC/N64. (cause at time N64 came out (1996, which is when i got mine in the very first batches), the PC was JUST starting to get good in terms of it's graphics (Quake/Tomb Raider in OpenGL mode) (Voodoo 1 graphics cards, which made it look better than ANYTHING out at the time)). so thats why i choose N64 over PC in that generation pretty much.... cause overall at that time i think consoles where better in most things.

but if you ask me the poll should have been sorted better cause the way it's listed currently is sorta messed up.

i would have made a "all-time favorite" from anything out today to anything out in the past (basically pc/ms/sony/nintedo/sega/atari etc etc). then i would have made one for "current gen consoles" (i.e. ps2/xbox/gamecube etc) and then "next-gen consoles" (i.e. XBox360/PS3/Wii etc) and then even a category for "old school systems" (aka anything prior to the psone/n64 generation, in other words the 2D era)

so based on what i just said above, i would choose...All Time = PC

Next-Gen (consoles only) = XBox360

Current Gen (consoles only) = XBox

Previous Gen (consoles only) = N64 (alot of people would choose ps1 over this but i choose it since i grew up on it back in the day;)))

Old School (prior to psone/n64, in other words the 2D consoles) = NES (even though SNES/Genesis where technically better overall, the NES deserves alot of praise since it sorta saved the video game business back in the day AND it was one of my childhood consoles)>

i think people should list there ages (im 28 years old) to as that will most likely determine what they "might" vote for;)) ... cause i figure the younger crowd nowadays (say mid teens ish) will probably not even remember the old school systems like NES etc... so theres no chance they would vote for a old school system as there best of all time sorta thing.

i think you guys get the point;))

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
