What is your favorite retro gaming console (before the ps1)?

 

[L3ggy]

Super Nintendo.

Super NES and Dreamcast. :thumbsup:

For me it'll always be the SNES. So many good childhood memories (Street Fighter II, F-Zero, MKII, Final Fantasy III...

Turbo Grafix 16

I had one of those way back in the day. My favorite games for it were "Ninja Spirit", "Splatter House" and of course "Bonk's Adventure". You should get one, they kick ass.

I don't know what ever happened to my old one.

NES, it's what I grew up on!

I have to go with NES, it has my favorite game of all time: Super Mario Bros. 3. The Raccoon hat was the best power-up ever.

This will be a great way to gauge the age of the players here. Those who pick nes are around my age. Past that are a little younger than me. If they pick something before the nes, they are a little older!!!

Not 100% but for the most part that's the way I'd imagine it will work!

Anyway, speaking of Mario Bros. 3

:eek: I'm going to have to watch the video tomorrow.

I like to play games and mess around a bit. Running through a game isn't much fun.

I had a "Sega Mega Drive".
Is that the Sega Master System?

I like the Mega Drive. It so simple

According to Wikipedia the Sega Mega Drive was the same as the Sega Genesis. Apparently Sega couldn't get the rights to the Mega Drive name in North America so they opted for the name "Genesis".

I didn't know any of that or I would have worded the poll more correctly.

Never liked the name Mega Drive. Genesis sounds way cooler

I usually end up playing my sega genesis whenever I feel like playing an oldschool game, though I do sometimes play my NES as well.

I have to go with the NES for the sheer volume of games,but blowing into the games and constantly cleaning it to get the games to work became too much of a chore after a while.It really was a love hate relationship.I can remember playing Super Tecmo Bowl and Ice Hockey for hours on end with my cousin.Ah,those were the days.

 

[Legzman]

Damn it! I can't find the power cord to my NES nor the thingy to plug into the back of the tv

 

[ChefChiTown]

It's a tie between Atari and Coleco for me...but I voted Atari. It's the only gaming console where you only need one hand to play a game. That way, you can use the other hand for holding beer!

My heart wants to go with the 2600, but I gotta pick the NES.
