my favorite game system is the Wii!!!!
NES
It's a tie between the GCN, N64, and the Famicom :P
It's a tie between FAMICOM and Mega Drive
with my 2nd all time fave system being the
Super Famicom, then followed by the
16/24-BIT Neo:Geo MVS/AES.
PC Engine CD.
NES definitely has the best games IMO, and the system now offers a lot of different collection routes (being 24 years old, the nostalgia adds to this somewhat). As for the Wii, it is not only my least favorite, but I hate it. SNES and 64 (though it only has a handful of fantastic games mixed with tons of junk) are good systems, but for me I think Nintendo has steadily gone downhill since the NES.
PS1
Famicom
I'm tied between the super famicom and the neo geo mvs, steadily gone downhill since the nes? I think the snes is better
Tied between the Wii and the Dreamcast.
Tie between Famicom, PC Engine, Mega Drive, and NeoGeo.
I can't choose between tits and ass.
NES/Famicom
It's hard for me to choose out of all of them so I'll try by brand that I own (why not)
Atari2600 because of one of my favorite games... pitfall.
Xbox because I had to keep the Tony Hawk series going.
Our of Nintendo... ouch. I can't pick. Here's why.
On famicom, Mario and Zelda made their debut, their original home on the famicom and nes.
On sfc, they got bigger and better games that were fun to play.
On N64, biest zelda game of all time... need I say more... no but goldeneye was on it and that is a classic and super mario 64
on GCN, wind waker was great and so were other games like sunshine.
Wii... it's a phenomenal piece of work.
I'm sorry... I can't pick! Maybe I should make a poll?
No doubt the NES. Sorry Fami! It's just what I've played more than anything else in my life, it seems.
I'll say the wii at this point, because it's so flexible. But discounting emulation I'd say the original gameboy. LSDJ half makes that an easy decision on it's own.
$&%# I have to pick ONE?
I am sure I do not need to point out to you guys how HARD that call can be.
It's a serious toss up between about 5 or so systems for me.
I'll pick the PS2 since at this point the console has a huge library of games and you can find them at your local Gamestop for real cheap. You can also find them on ebay of course but Gamestop seems to have good deals and cheaper prices than ebay for some games.
I might seem weird for this but I really liked the Sega Saturn. The Panzer Dragoon games were my favorites. 8)
The Saturn is awesome... Mine broke. D:
I may get a Saturn. Which games should I play, which ones should I avoid, and which ones should I destroy?
PLAY:
Jikkyo Oshaberi Parodius
MSX Antiques Collection
Battle Garegga
DonPachi
Puzzle Bobble 3
Salamander Gold Pack
Virtual On: Cyber Troopers
Panzer Dragoon
That's all I've played...
And those games were released in America, right?
Uh... No. But they can be played on an NTSC-U Saturn with an ST-Key or I think an action replay.
Would either of those involve opening up my future Saturn? If I open up anything besides a battery cover, it will probably break.
No, they go in the RAM cartridge slot.
Are they easy to use, and will they harm a Saturn?
Hey will a memory card help me play import saturn games? Just wondering because my friend said there was a way.
The Action Replay and ST-key are just cartridges. They don't do anything negative.
NiGHTS and Saturn Bomberman are also great Saturn games. If you are into RPGs check out the ones Working Designs translated and released in the US.
Well after spending the last two weeks almost "exclusively" playing the SFC, I have to say that while it may have taken 16 years to make up my mind... I now prefer the Super Famicom to the Sega Mega Drive. So to retract my original statement/post on page 1, I'll have to say that my all time fave system is now a tie between Super Famicom and the Famicom, now relegating 2nd place status to Mega Drive on tie with Neo:Geo MVS. Outside of a number of particular titles (roughly 8 to 12), the MD just isn't doing it for me any longer, and I primarily only play 8-Bit and 16-Bit systems.
Yeah for the Saturn get the Action Replay cart. I think it is also a RAM expansion too, but I could be wrong... it's been a while since I have messed with the Saturn. It's a system that I like, that I have a severely under-represented library for. One of these days, I'll likely change that. There are a few high ticket items, like D, and Radiant Silvergun... and I think the Panzer Dragoon Saga (the RPG-ish one) that will have you digging deep into your pockets.
Hmmm... I still haven't entirely made up my mind on "Favorite System" as there are a handful that I seriously have solid libraries for. I would say Atari 2600, Atari 8 bit, NES/Famicom, SNES/SFC, PS2/PSX are the top contenders. All of these have great games, and really solid libraries to pull from, and have decent representation in my personal stash. One of these days I'll get a multi region TV so I can nab some PAL exclusives...
Yes, t's also a RAM expansion.
Saturn is a very fine system. Before I realized it I think I have now more Saturn games that games for any other system. :o Maybe it's because they're so cheap.
I'd have to say it's mixed between Saturn and Famicom.
Lately, the Famicom has been my favorite home system and my DS gets the most play (by far) on the go.
The SNES is by far my favorite gaming system so far overall. I will say that the Nintendo DS is starting to become more and more enjoyable for me as more and more games are released though.
Philips CD-I because it has this:

The SNES/Super Famicom and the NES/Famicom. And the Nintendo earned it, all that money. They did the most for the gaming history... OK Atari made video-games big, but so did Nintendo after atari commited suicide... and they invented platforming...and high speed racing, and a new kind of RPG, and RPG/Strategy etc. And now, Hiroshi Yamauchi is the richest man in Japan... cause he earned it!
Nintendo was making at-home video games before Atari, and they did quite well in Japan.
My favorite console makers:
1st: Nintendo
2nd: Sega
3rd: Atari
I mostly play my DS/DSi, so I guess that. Then again, I'm starting to become more familiar with the games of days past, so that could change. ;)
You can start by getting a Dreamcast and by burning a whole bunch of emulators.
I have 2 Dreamcasts actually (one is a pink Japanese Hello Kitty with matching VMU and keyboard). The only games I really played were Jet Grind Radio, a little bit of Shenmue, Space Channel 5, and Sonic Adventure. I found a crapload of games and unopened controllers/memory cards in my garage that I never knew about. I also found a keyboard and 2 rumble packs.
Once I figured out how easy it is to pirate DC games I found a bunch I liked (such as Bangai-O). Although, I can't get my new disc burner to work with DiscJuggler, and I was going to burn NesterDC SE and Half-Life Gold, but until I get it fixed I'll have to do something else.
Burn them at the library?
Try ImgBurn. It's free and awesome.

Any specific details I should know about for burning Dreamcast images?
As long as you know what DiscJuggler is, that's pretty much it. My only piece of advice/warning is that some games are still over the 700MB mark (Which is the maximum the blank CD you are burning the image onto holds) So you may have to compress it even more. It's not a common problem though, I haven't run into it yet, so don't worry about it. Happy burning! Also, if you want, there's a whole Dreamcast thread. You may learn something from it ;)
