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;))

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
