The PSP is the Gorrilaz of handhelds. Oh no I can feel a whole new completely stupid thread coming on!
A product of successful marketing from a business genius which spawned a generation of copycats, although had no real underlying talent except for the innate ability to relinquish the kids of their money? You might be onto something there.
Was close between Megadrive and N64 for me, but I found Megadrive more nostalgic/addictive in the end <A88>
My vote goes on Nes\Snes Been playing Supermario Kart, Total Carnage and Zombies Ate My Neighbours recently (emulator) Intelivision was first console in my house, that kicked ass too Amiga was amazing, its was a pc tho I guess. Hmm, can you really class PS3 and X-box 360 as true consoles, they are packed with tons of pc features unlike ur average console. Maybe theres a thread in that, are next gen consoles, consoles?
SNES had THE best gameplay out of any console so far. I'm still addicted to some of it's titles and am forced to emulate them every now and then.
Honourable mentions to the SNES and Megadrive, but for me it's Dreamcast Cheesecake Power Stone 1&2, Samba De Amigo, Ikaruga, Mars Matrix, Psyvarier 2, Techromancer, Shenmue et al are still played here, some on a daily basis.
If we are voting for best console of all time, I would have to say Neo Geo Gold. I would love to get my hands on one, but even on ebay today they still go for a pretty penny. If I were to vote for one that I currently own, I would have to vote for the dreamcast (followed by NES).
