Happenstance Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 What would everyone say their favourite retro console was? Mines definately the Megadrive, infact the megadrive is probably my favourite console altogether. Its the one where I remember having the most fun on games on my own and with loads of friends.
masaki86 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 This is a tough one for me personally, as the SNES and N64 had so many gems; in the end i'd stump for the SNES thanks to illusion of time, terranigma, chrono trigger, Super Mario World andALTTP; just to name a few....lol
Dark Wolf Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I'd have to say the N64, so many classic games. I loved Perfect Dark multiplayer. I might have said the SNES, but we didn't have many good games.
darksnowman Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 The Retro Console Wars! Im going for the Snes, what a machine, such great games! The DKC Trilogy amongst others...
Monopolyman Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Although not 'retro' in the sense of the word, but I'll go with the N64. Some of the finest games ever made were the norm practically every month on that machine, and the controller paved the way for the future of gaming. OOT, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64 and Banjo kazooie/Tooie were my faves from the '64.
Jon Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Although I never owned one, id would say the N64, so many great games and a great looking console, i really wish id bought one.
Nick81 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I'm also going to say the N64 - GoldenEye, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, the two Zeldas, all top notch. I played GoldenEye the other day for the first time in ages, and it's still superb. What I wouldn't give for a remake on Revolution, with the new controller like your own Walther PPK!
Kurtle Squad Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 My original console me n my bro got one Christmas...The Megadrive
Retro_Link Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 - N64 - for me; Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, F-Zero X, Mario Tennis, Goldeneye, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark, Yoshi's Story, Banjo Kazooie, Beetle Adventure Racing, All the games i played on this console were classics!! If the Dreamcast counts as a retro console i loved that too; but N64 was the best IMO!
xino Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 nah mine was Megadrive but SNES had lots of good games
Oli1983uk Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 after playing super mario 3 the other day i would say mine is the SNES
Hellfire Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 My first console was a Mega Drive, but it doesn't have enough great games and Sonic doesn't quite reach the leetness of Mario. I also have great memories of N64. maybe even more than SNES, so come to think of it it's a tie between N64 and SNES.
Cheapshot Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 If I lived in Japan it would have to be the SNES; since I live in the UK I would say the Dreamcast (if that counts as 'retro')
Happenstance Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 I tend to count anything before this current generation as retro now. Obviously not proper retro but for the purposes of the question I would
Android18a Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Megadrive or SNES. SNES for classics like Tetris Attack, Pop'n Twinbee and Illusion of Time, and Megadrive because Sonic 2 was my first 16-bit game ever and it still holds up to rigorous play today.
Ramar Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I'd NES because I find its brilliant to plug in and have a quick whirl on. The games aren't complex and are lots of fun.
altheman Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 My favorite retro console is a tie between the Game Gear and the Dreamcast (if you can call the Dreamcast retro).
Sabre Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Probably the 64 as I had 100% attention to it for over 2 years, not multiple consoles going at once, like now.
Bren Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Megadrive, simply because of chuck rock, sonic and streets of rage
Owen Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Either N64 or Snes, but due to a few N64 games, N64 just wins it!
Eddage Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Has to be the N64, afterall it had games like Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye, all of which (in my opinion of course) are genre defining games (basically they float my boat :wink: )
nekunando Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 ..when people ask me what my favourite games are, I always tell them a list of games where the majority (if not all) are from the N64.. including Goldeneye, 1080, Lylat Wars, Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: OOT, Banjo-Kazooie.. so it has to be the Nintendo 64 for me.. so many great memories..
