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;))

    • In what way is any of what I said incorrect? To install an update you need to close all browser instances, upping it from once a month to once a fortnight is an inconvenience for users. Particularly when updates don't offer functionality that users want (notably copilot). Security updates should come as they are needed, not on a release schedule
    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.
