I've been playing lots of video games lately and I can't help but think that nothing was as good as the original N64. I really miss it. Marc got me a simultor for my computer but it's just not the same.
What was your favorite game consol ever? |

"We fired up the n64 yesterday for some legend of zelda!
Ocarina of time is the best game ever made.  "
Pfft golden eye, killer instinct and mario kart were all better than the ocarina of time.
You can't beat a mega drive and sonic |

Goldeneye. Fantastic gaming and multiplayer with physical people in the same room.
I'm getting a raspberry pi 3 in a few weeks to play emulators and stream media - I managed to hack my wii in a d*unken state once and have the emulators running on it. But I want a bit more flexibility with my controllers |

Mega drive for sure! Any sonic games, some weird Michael Jackson thing, I think there was a home alone game, and dizzy the stupid fucking egg that it was impossible to complete me and my brother used to take it in shifts as you couldn't save where you were up to in it!
The only one I had as my own was a N64, I only enjoyed playing snowboard kids on it though, and super Mario! |

It was soooo clunky! It did little more than previous Nintendo consoles except make you buy discs like playstation had already been doing for years!
It was aesthetically pleasing, though.  |

i actually love the design. its clunky but still has a small form factor and was a powerhouse on the graphics front. The mini discs were awesome aswell but ultimately what stopped it taking off i think
and i still think the gamepad was one of the best ever designed
k am done now |

This is true, mortal kombat is vastly overrated in my opinion and relied on shock value over gameplay. |

Never appealed to me! Thought it was very clunky and slow, even by those standards back then.
Much preferred mortal kombat, and shaq-fu |

Loved the n64 but my favorite's got to be the ps1. There's a really good Wii emulator for PC named dolphin which you can use original Wii remotes or an Xbox controller on I play Mario kart on that loads |

The sega Saturn never got its due either. Platform exclusives like nights into dreams, Panzer Dragoon and Shining Force.
However it was horribly managed, badly launched and failed to get Resident Evil 2 which is unforgivable. |

I've only ever had two game consoles, an Atari 2600 and a Sega Mega Drive. They were both really cool at the time. The Mega Drive would be my favourite of the two though.
I keep meaning to get myself a Playstation or Xbox but have never gotten around to it. |

"Mega drive. I completed Sonic and Toe jam and Earl before my children

I just found out I can buy it through Steam. It won't be the same without the controller though. I wonder if I can buy a plug and play one that will work with it. |

Sadly, muchto Mrs M's annoyance, I'm a video game junkie...i have Ps4, ps3, xbox one, xbox 360. Nintendo gamecube, n64 and psp. Most of the time its on the ps4 tbough, but n64 for great fun with no delays. Mario 64 is my all time fav game |

SNES for me, just because it had Mario Kart, Street fighter 2, F-Zero, Castlevania IV and Final fight.
Following a close second the original Xbox, playing the launch game Halo was mind blowing, plus it had Star Wars knights of the old Republic 1 and 2 which have got to be the best rpg/action/Sci Fi games ever released in my opinion.

PlayStation (1)
Was soooooo great, I have some great memories of Resident Evil, Tekken 3, Gran Turismo and so many more...
PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 & Xbox One have been my generational stepping stones.
Biking/Bedroom have taken over my life though |

*snes next up.
anyway OP, a decent gamepad that can be mapped well enough I've found really great and the games did feel good...personally in high resolution I was one over...you have to get the best emulators really, and of course any of the updated graphics components for the emulator.
I've actually a decent graphics card in a desktop I bought recently, so its gonna run the games much much better than my almost dying laptop can.

Link to the past is amazing the first time you play it, but there's no real reason to play it twice. However, Shining Force games have so many characters that you'll play them over and over |

In the early ninties I bought a Sega Mega drive just to play John Madden's American football game. If I remember correctly he hated flying and travelled to all the games by train. Does anyone know if he's still alive?
Talking of planes I have to admit to taking flight simulation far to seriously. Mind you I have resisted the urge to buy a pilot's uniform! |

I believe the correct term is "emulator"
As for me, it will always be my NES. Bart vs the Space Mutants and Super Mario 3 ftw. Even have a huge Super Mario 3 poster in my room |
