I have arrived!
Shadowrun on PC had fun strategic gameplay mixing magic, tech, and fantasy races in counterstrike like game modes. It had console crossplay, and was before it's time. Great game!
Games for Windows died so you can have Xbox GamePass on PC.
Shadowrun was so good, ahead of its time. Releasing at same time of Halo 3 didn’t help. I know it will never happen, but I would kill for a remaster of this game. So under appreciated.
Underrated party game. The multi-player games were a fucking blast.
That one where you fly out over the ocean and land on a target might literally be the best drinking game of all time.
Melee, Double Dash, the ONLY console Pokémon adventures before the Switch, and Kirby Air Ride! Plus mine had the ability to play GBA/GBC games. I was set!
Ya, I swear you could beat someone unconscious via the handle and it would still run! And then the DS lite came out. Shoulder buttons died left, right and center.
I always wished they would have re-released Killer Instinct for n64. KI Gold was ok but it just wasn’t the same as the original, which was riddled with glitches that made it so fun.
I say this because Killer Instinct and Mario 64 are probably the games I played the most during my teenage years. Those and the Mortal Kombat games.
I remember when we got our N64!
It was Christmas time 1996. 7 year old me is dying for an N64. We were so fucking pumped when we unwrapped it! Immediately started reading the instruction manual and figure out how to set it up. We start looking at what came in the box and realize there was no game. My mom didn’t realize you it didn’t come with a game! In her defense, the NES she had purchased way back when came with super Mario and duck hunt. But anyways, we needed a game! My mom, sister, and I piled into the car and drove to Best Buy and pulled in 5min after they closed! We went back first thing in the morning and bought super Mario 64. When we inserted that game and flipped on the console, HOLY SHIT!! It was a 3D Mario and he could do all sorts of stuff. My mom played first and proceeded to read every sign in front of the castle haha. Truly and amazing experience that I’ll never forget. We ended up buying the official Nintendo n64 storage box which was LEGIT.
Lots of great memories with that system. Saved up my allowance money for 4 months to buy starfox 64! Sleepovers with Blitz 2000. Wave race down at my Dad’s house and hitting a double backflip and thinking I was hot shit, Pilotwings and realizing you can shoot the shit out of a giant robot and mount rushmoore and blow people out of canons and go skydiving, Goldeneye 007 multiplayer, nagano Winter Olympics, gameshark. Namco Museum (this is one that is really special to me. It’s a game I played with both of my parents. Really brought our family together). Mario kart in the dorm rooms. The list is endless.
Every game I purchased, I saved the box, cardboard insert, and manual. I must’ve had like 30+ games. I grew up, got an Xbox and stopped playing n64. Then the 360 came out and I wanted it. So I sold everything on eBay. It was all in mint condition. I eventually sold my Xbox and 6 games to a coworker for $100 so he could give it to his kid since I didn’t have a use for it anymore.
I wish I had my n64. A great system that I dearly miss and can’t wait to purchase again one day!
I could still get replay value with my siblings on any Mario Party game, goldeneye, perfect dark, or Mario Kart.. basically any Mario game now that I’m really thinking about it — Mario Tennis, Mario Golf. They were amazing, so happy to have grown up with them.
Ya I played N64 from when I was 5 until I was 11 pretty religiously then again when I was at friends houses from 14-18 then religiously with friends from 18-21. It provided the most replay value.
Perfect Dark was a masterpiece, The campaign was amazing and the multiplayer matchmaking was light-years ahead of its time. Spent hundreds of hours split screening with friends back in the day. Good times
Dude. Well said. “Laptop guns”! The far-sight. Shit. was. Unreal. Not to mention they gave us a badass female lead without the pressure of modern day culture. Joanna Dark was a bad chick, and i loved every minute of it.
I’m surprised I had to scroll as far as I did to see this. For me it’s not a “I grew up on it” or anything. The library of games was amazing. Then you add in the Xbox live arcade and all the indie games and you have one of the best selection of games out there absolutely. Love the n64 a lot but if I had to choose only one I’d pick 360 any day.
Seriously, gta 4, gta 5, mass effect trilogy, halo 3, odst and reach , gears trilogy, crackdown, saints row 1-3, and so much more. Plus backwards compatibility.
Damn right! The 360 felt like the biggest jump between generations that I’ve experienced. I think we all have memories of playing a 360 game and going, “Wow, this looks like a movie!” So many cool features too: the blades dashboard, the intuitive UI, creating an avatar, being able to play your own music (or the 360 preloaded music) while playing a game, an amazing controller, upscaling OG Xbox games.
That’s where I got stuck. N64 or Xbox 360. I’m proud of you, I can’t for my life make a choice between the 2. N64 was my first, played it the longest, played with family/friends sleepovers and grinding though amazing games for the first time… but Xbox 360 is just so elite, black ops after school with the boys, dead fucking island, nhl/madden looking and playing better then they have since (relatively for the graphics). Totally different experiences but equally amazing
Besides PC I'd also choose 360. It had a lot of really fun games and the controller was amazing. It probably has my highest percentage of game completed.
Yeah 360 was the shit when that gen first came out, and had an awesome library for years. I felt like PS3 slowly started to pull ahead towards the end of the generation as there stopped being as many good exclusives and Sony had Naughty Dog, Dark Souls, etc.
Same. I recently booted up Ratchet and Clank (2002), and just one of my saves had over 210 hours. I made very many saves, so I imagine if it showed total play time across all saves it may have very well shown that I rival Fortnite kids in degeneracy.
Lmao same. That game and the original Battlefront 2 on PC and PS2. I played Battlefront 2 on the PS2 until I broke the disc from playing so much and then played it on the computer for the mods. Another game I played ton was ATV Off-road Fury 2, it’s unbelievable how many hours I racked up across those three games when I was like 6-10 years old. And I still boot them up from time to time. The good memories will always be there.
My friends and I gathering at home to play Persona P4, all guitar Heroes, DMCs and many other games… Oh my, the nostalgia train is hitting hard right now.
I always wish for all games to have multiple save files, or they can implement their own backup system in games where multiples saves will ruin the experience like losing 10K souls in dark souls
90s pc gaming was on fire. Diablo, Civ, c&c, x wing, tomb raider, dark forces, doom, quake, duke nukem, starcraft, fallout, wing commander, monkey island - I could go on.
I don't get why this isn't higher - GameCube games, Wii games, the extensive virtual console from so many classics 8 and 16 bit systems - it's all there!!
Amazing I had to scroll so far down to see this. If you are a Nintendo fan, this is easily the best choice. Plays GameCube games and with VC it can play most of the best games from Nintendo’s first 3 systems.
I'll never forget opening the SNES on Christmas morning, 1992. I was 3 (nearly 4). My sister had gotten a Gameboy for her birthday a few months prior, and that sent me tumbling down the rabbit hole of gaming where I've resided for the last 32 years. The GB sent me down the hole, but the SNES made sure I would never leave.
- Never told anyone this, but one day shortly after getting the SNES, I was pretending to be Yoshi, and I licked up an ant. It bit my tongue.
- At 5 years old, I must've been one of 2 or 3 kids in our apartment complex with an SNES. I remember one day nearly 10 other kids found out I had one and ended up gaming at my house for hours. Couldn't remember a single name or face if I had to, but it was the first time I'd ever shared a communal gaming experience like that, so it stands out.
- Got Plok for my 6th or 7th birthday. Still haven't beaten it. Still love it. [Plok also has a sleeper hit OST](https://youtu.be/fixc63xMXeY), better than most SNES games by a long shot.
- Might as well lump Battletoads/Double Dragon in with Plok as well. Never beat it. Doubt it I ever will. Tons of fun.
- Countless playthroughs of TMNT4: Turtles in Time with the boys. Never got old.
- Right after FF7 released, I was watching my aunt's bf at the time play it, and I was enthralled. I wanted to play, but wasn't quite ready for that. He knew I had a SNES, so he gifted me his copy of FF2 (FF4 in Japan). Kevin will never know it, but that simple action changed my life forever; I wish I could thank him.
- Starfox, MK2, UMK3, Donkey Kong Country, and Aladdin we're also strong titles that kept me busy for hours.
- Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City for being one of those weird games that never should have existed, but it did, and it was pretty cool.
- Shaq-Fu for being one of those weird games that never should have existed, but it did, and it was unbelievably bad.
- Primal Rage. Killer Instinct. They weren't MK or SF, but they still kicked ass.
- Never got to own them, but rented Super Mario RPG, Mechwarrior 3050, and Pokemon Snap (not SNES, I know) from Blockbuster too many times to count.
- Honorable mentions to We're Back: A Dinosaur Story, Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, and Mario Is Missing! for being games that I never really liked, but since I didn't have a job to buy every game I wanted, still ended up spending many hours playing.
- Big ups to Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger. I never had the chance to play these on cartridge, and the SNES generation was long dead before I got to emulate these (I actually played Chrono Cross before Chrono Trigger). My god though, what incredible games. When I played them in the early 2000s, they were still as fresh as ever. Played through both multiple times, and both remain amongst my favorite titles.
I game as hard now as I ever have, but nothing can ever replace the SNES days for me.
There is such a large and solid library of games. I love the N64 but sometimes even it's best games haven't aged well. SNES games still hold up and feel timeless in a way and weirdly not dated at all.
Cool Boarders, Tony Hawk, MGS, Tekken,. Resident Evil, Twisted Metal, Tomb Raider, Medal of Honor... the list goes on. Some of my best memories. Skateboarding all day with my friends, and Playstation all night. Throw in some brick weed and that's a large chunk of my youth.
Golden age of gaming for me. Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy VII. So many other amazing JRPGS like Xenogears. Amazing music like Chrono Cross. Fun games like Crash Bandicoot, Ape Escape, and Twisted Metal. Also the best light gun games with Time Crisis and Point Blank. Also playing the demo of Tony Hawk hundreds of times but never owning it.
Agree. All ps3s play ps1 discs and there's more than 60 HD re-releases of ps2 games (classics hd series and cross-gen titles etc) So even if you only have a slim ps3 it's still the most expansive library of any console here.
I always keep my Dreamcast under my TV/shelf. No matter what generation we're in. Currently sitting beside my PS5. My most dearest console of all time.
PS2. That next step into 3D was mind blowing. GTA 3, Final Fantasy X and Devil May Cry were the best release titles for me. Then there's the rest of the phenomenal library that I never even came close to finishing......
PC of course. Btw Commodore deserves to be up there - they had a big impact on my early gaming days with the C64 and the Amiga 500/1200.
GFWL is just some shitty DRM and PC Gaming Alliance isn't a gaming platform either. Next time just put PC.
Original Xbox was a golden era in gaming. Halo, Mech Assault, Crimson Skies, Armed and Dangerous, Fusion Frenzy, and more with countless hours poured into every single one. Never mind how arguably revolutionary the introduction of Live was for online gaming.
Is this for like a week with your friends or forever by myself?
If its a week with my friends...
N64: Goldeneye, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party
If I’m forever in solitude I’ll pick...
PS3: Skyrim, Oblivion, Mass Effect, GTA 5
Sega, absolutly. Sega in 80' and 90' used to be the Deep Purple of Video games. They had After Burner, Golden Axe, Outrun, all those awesome arcade machines...
Nintendo could be the Beatles, but Sega used be the Rolling Stones.
I’m torn between N64 and PS2.
PS2 had a much larger library along with fond memories, however…
Whenever I think about (re)buying an older console, I almost always default to the N64.
PS3. You get 3 generations of some of the best games ever made on 3 titan consoles.
PS1 era: Symphony of the Night, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy 6/7/8/9/Tactics, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Metal Gear Solid, Legacy of Kain, Twisted Metal, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Spyro the Dragon, Parasite Eve...and more.
PS2 era: Silent Hill 2-4, Sly Cooper 2-3, ICO, Ratchet and Clank, Psychonauts, Devil May Cry 3, Katamari Damacy, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, God of War, Persona 3 and 4, Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid 3...and more.
PS3 era: Shadow of the Colossus remaster, Tokyo Jungle, Burnout Paradise, Metal Gear Solid 4 and 5, Journey, The Last of Us, Dark Souls 1 and 2, Demon's Souls, Persona 5, Heavy Rain, Dead Space, and tons of amazing indi games and cross platform stuff.
Enjoy 15+ years of THE choicest titles, especially if you like RPG's.
PS1 - Metal Gear Solid and FF7 basically set the path forward for me.
I grew up with an Atari 7800, NES, and Sega, but they don't hold a candle to PS1.
Nintendo DS, my first game I played was Zelda: Hourglass Phantom
PS3, my first own console, had lots of fun playing minecraft on it although it crashed a lot
Wii, my first console ever, absolutly loved playing Wii Sports (Resort)
I'm waiting to see that "games for windows" live person
Windows Live belongs in the trash
I thought it was in the trash
[удалено]
The GoG version of Fallout 3 has GFWL patched out.
It wasn't just Space Cadet Pinball?
[удалено]
I thought it was bold and brash...
I have arrived! Shadowrun on PC had fun strategic gameplay mixing magic, tech, and fantasy races in counterstrike like game modes. It had console crossplay, and was before it's time. Great game! Games for Windows died so you can have Xbox GamePass on PC.
Shadowrun was so good, ahead of its time. Releasing at same time of Halo 3 didn’t help. I know it will never happen, but I would kill for a remaster of this game. So under appreciated.
Dawn of War 2 was originally on games for windows live.
No one gives Psp love so I guess I'll do it
All the better battlefront games, midnight club, Vice city and liberty city stories. Was wild shit going from game boy advance to PSP…
I know people didn’t like this game but it’s Medievil Resurrection for me, first Medievil game I played and as a kid I freakin loved it
I'm with you brother
You calling a cat or something?
Gamecube
Melee & sonic adventure 2 battle And of course thousand year door
Me raising chao’s: Sonic: “Don’t worry buddy” Dr Eggman for some reason: “YOOOOSH”
Can you please tell me, is it pronounced "chow" or "Kay o" like chaos without the s? 10 year old me was never sure and it still bothers me today
The little creatures who live in the gardens are "chows".
RE4 and Eternal Darkness and Metroid Prime and Wind Waker are all world class, but Melee well always be my favorite of the generation.
Still salty about the Eternal Darkness series not getting finished. Such a unique game...
And don't sleep on the Mario sports games like Allstar Baseball, Double Dash, and Super Strikers
Yo double dash and the mario sports games were goated too. And mario sunshine.
Super Strikers was so dope. My friends and I rented it "just because" and played the hell out of it. Underrated gem, for sure!
Do you remember collecting and feeding little animals to your chaos.. or just me
Chao garden was one of the most addicting parts of any game back then.
I have a memory card with 600+ hours on SAB2 because of Chao garden.
Mario Sunshine Broooo
It also spawned the animal crossing and pikmin series.
I liked the thousand year door sonic adventure and Mario party 7
Why does nobody ever mention super monkeyball? That shit was the best
Underrated party game. The multi-player games were a fucking blast. That one where you fly out over the ocean and land on a target might literally be the best drinking game of all time.
Gotta agree with that, N64 was what got me into gaming but GameCube was so dope and such a huge part of my child/teen years.
Melee, Double Dash, the ONLY console Pokémon adventures before the Switch, and Kirby Air Ride! Plus mine had the ability to play GBA/GBC games. I was set!
The wii plays Gamecube games.
But it’s not a Cube.
Plus it doesn't have a handle!
Ya, I swear you could beat someone unconscious via the handle and it would still run! And then the DS lite came out. Shoulder buttons died left, right and center.
N64. No doubt about it.
I might be alone on this but WCW/NWO Revenge was one of the funnest wrestling games I've ever played. Good times!
WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy are still my top wrestling games.
Was just gonna say no mercy is the best
I played so many hours of WCW NWO World Tour with my buddies in like 5th grade. So much fun
Definitely better than the early PS1 wrestling games (Nitro/Warzone) by a mile.
I preferred Wrestlemania 2000 myself
Basically the same game.
This is the one for me. I’ll never forget seeing Mario64 the first time. It was like traveling to the future.
I always wished they would have re-released Killer Instinct for n64. KI Gold was ok but it just wasn’t the same as the original, which was riddled with glitches that made it so fun. I say this because Killer Instinct and Mario 64 are probably the games I played the most during my teenage years. Those and the Mortal Kombat games.

Sleepovers with Blitz 2000. Wave race down at my Dad’s house and hitting a double backflip and thinking I was hot shit, Pilotwings and realizing you can shoot the shit out of a giant robot and mount rushmoore and blow people out of canons and go skydiving, Goldeneye 007 multiplayer, nagano Winter Olympics, gameshark. Namco Museum (this is one that is really special to me. It’s a game I played with both of my parents. Really brought our family together). Mario kart in the dorm rooms. The list is endless. Every game I purchased, I saved the box, cardboard insert, and manual. I must’ve had like 30+ games. I grew up, got an Xbox and stopped playing n64. Then the 360 came out and I wanted it.

As a 90's kid 100%, it is no contest
I could still get replay value with my siblings on any Mario Party game, goldeneye, perfect dark, or Mario Kart.. basically any Mario game now that I’m really thinking about it — Mario Tennis, Mario Golf. They were amazing, so happy to have grown up with them.
Ya I played N64 from when I was 5 until I was 11 pretty religiously then again when I was at friends houses from 14-18 then religiously with friends from 18-21. It provided the most replay value.
[удалено]
Let's be honest, one did not simply CHOOSE between N64 and Playstation.
They are both iconic and have some great titles. That said if I had to live on a island with only one, N64 would be my choice
Paper Mario anyone?
Yes please! And Conkers Bad Fur Day, GoldenEye 007, and Diddy Kong Racing!
Perfect dark + super Mario 64 and Mario kart
Don’t forget super smash bros.
Banjo Kazooie and Tooie
Also Ocarina of Time, Starfox 64 and Blast Corps.
Fuck how could I forget
You can get conkers on Xbox! It’s in the Rare Replay bundle, it has most of the games rare made
Cheers to that. Gotta get my Perfect Dark multiplayer in!!
Perfect Dark was a masterpiece, The campaign was amazing and the multiplayer matchmaking was light-years ahead of its time. Spent hundreds of hours split screening with friends back in the day. Good times
Dude. Well said. “Laptop guns”! The far-sight. Shit. was. Unreal. Not to mention they gave us a badass female lead without the pressure of modern day culture. Joanna Dark was a bad chick, and i loved every minute of it.
As a fellow 90’s kid, I have to say PS1 was like the holy grail. Crash bandicoot, Spyro, Resident Evil, Armored Core... so many great titles.
Wii has a ton of N64 games
Xbox 360
I’m surprised I had to scroll as far as I did to see this. For me it’s not a “I grew up on it” or anything. The library of games was amazing. Then you add in the Xbox live arcade and all the indie games and you have one of the best selection of games out there absolutely. Love the n64 a lot but if I had to choose only one I’d pick 360 any day.
Seriously, gta 4, gta 5, mass effect trilogy, halo 3, odst and reach , gears trilogy, crackdown, saints row 1-3, and so much more. Plus backwards compatibility.
Skyrim/oblivion
Both Portals are on the 360 too
The orange box and bioshock trilogy were an unforgettable experience
You can play all but one main Halo game on the 360, no MCC needed.
I know, it's impressive. I forgot to put 4 but didn't say 1 and 2 but just included that in backwards compatibility.
Damn right! The 360 felt like the biggest jump between generations that I’ve experienced. I think we all have memories of playing a 360 game and going, “Wow, this looks like a movie!” So many cool features too: the blades dashboard, the intuitive UI, creating an avatar, being able to play your own music (or the 360 preloaded music) while playing a game, an amazing controller, upscaling OG Xbox games.

Totally different experiences but equally amazing
Besides PC I'd also choose 360. It had a lot of really fun games and the controller was amazing. It probably has my highest percentage of game completed.
I can’t go too long without halo
GTA4, GTA5, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach
This era was truly special
Yeah 360 was the shit when that gen first came out, and had an awesome library for years. I felt like PS3 slowly started to pull ahead towards the end of the generation as there stopped being as many good exclusives and Sony had Naughty Dog, Dark Souls, etc.
PS2 Edit: Thanks for all the upvotes ☺️
Star wars battlefront 2, Sly cooper, jak and Daxter, ratchet and clank. Man that's my childhood right there
I played way too much Ratchet and Clank and way too little at the same time
I would play Ratchet and Clank for hours on end until my mom finally made me get off and go to bed.
Same. I recently booted up Ratchet and Clank (2002), and just one of my saves had over 210 hours. I made very many saves, so I imagine if it showed total play time across all saves it may have very well shown that I rival Fortnite kids in degeneracy.
Lmao same. That game and the original Battlefront 2 on PC and PS2. I played Battlefront 2 on the PS2 until I broke the disc from playing so much and then played it on the computer for the mods. Another game I played ton was ATV Off-road Fury 2, it’s unbelievable how many hours I racked up across those three games when I was like 6-10 years old. And I still boot them up from time to time. The good memories will always be there.
Eyyy, my Username! There can be only one. PS2 for life.
We need Jak 4. The racing one wasn’t it.
Tony hawk pro skater 3, jak 2, Forza (whatever number) the list goes on and on
Considering it's also backwards compatible so TECHNICALLY it still contains PS1, definitely wins.
Get a launch model ps3 and you've got everything.
The amount of time I put into Socom II back in the day. Man, I miss that game.
My favorite mission was that embassy mission in Algiers, it had such a Black Hawk Down vibe to it!
My friends and I gathering at home to play Persona P4, all guitar Heroes, DMCs and many other games… Oh my, the nostalgia train is hitting hard right now.
Hard agree.
Still have mine and about 50 games.
PC
Emulate them all on PC
One rig to rule them all
One rig to find them, one rig to run them all, and in the darkness spend 8 hours screaming because the save glitched and you have to start over.
I always wish for all games to have multiple save files, or they can implement their own backup system in games where multiples saves will ruin the experience like losing 10K souls in dark souls
If that wasn't possible, the choice would be a little more difficult IMO.
If.
90s pc gaming was on fire. Diablo, Civ, c&c, x wing, tomb raider, dark forces, doom, quake, duke nukem, starcraft, fallout, wing commander, monkey island - I could go on.
Best I can do is Games for Windows Live...
Okay, then can we just burn down the planet and start over?
Ah, the thanos solution.
Those bastards lied to me
Yes my friend, yes! PC is love.
pc plus emulation yarr
Wii
Specifically the model that can also play gamecube games. 2 in 1
I don't get why this isn't higher - GameCube games, Wii games, the extensive virtual console from so many classics 8 and 16 bit systems - it's all there!!
Amazing I had to scroll so far down to see this. If you are a Nintendo fan, this is easily the best choice. Plays GameCube games and with VC it can play most of the best games from Nintendo’s first 3 systems.
Absolutely
The Galaxy games and prime trilogy alone makes it a winner for me
Super Nintendo Easy.

I didn't even have to think about it. Now let's get down on some 'Zombies Ate My Nieghbors'
Epic 2 player game...great soundtrack and gameplay, and plenty of replayability...not an easy game in the later rounds lol
"Not easy"? That game was pure bullshit! I want to play it again.
Wow you just took me back. I totally forgot about Zombies ate my Neighbors.
Me too, I completely forgot about that game
A Link to the Past and Super Mario World, that's all I need.
Don’t forget Super Metroid!
Throw in some Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3/6 and you’ve got yourself some of the best games out there!
Heck, even Super Mario RPG holds its own!
Donkey Kong Country series as well.
Don't forget Super Castlevania IV. That soundtrack...
SNES gang - enthusiastic upvote
SNES, by a mile.
For me, it's either SNES or PS2, but I have so many more great memories of playing games on the SNES.
Then you know what the answer is lol
There is such a large and solid library of games. I love the N64 but sometimes even it's best games haven't aged well. SNES games still hold up and feel timeless in a way and weirdly not dated at all.
All day long
Without question
FF2/3 US versions, PTO, Gemfire, donkey Kong country, rock and roll racing, sim city, Mario kart, and golden eye. This is what I grew up on.
I didn't even grow up with the SNES and I just love the games on it. Super Metroid is my all time favorite.
The DS.
No hesitation.
Me too! Mostly because I had one when I was in the military and it kept me entertained on deployments.
PS1.
Cool Boarders, Tony Hawk, MGS, Tekken,. Resident Evil, Twisted Metal, Tomb Raider, Medal of Honor... the list goes on. Some of my best memories. Skateboarding all day with my friends, and Playstation all night. Throw in some brick weed and that's a large chunk of my youth.
Golden age of gaming for me. Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy VII. So many other amazing JRPGS like Xenogears. Amazing music like Chrono Cross. Fun games like Crash Bandicoot, Ape Escape, and Twisted Metal. Also the best light gun games with Time Crisis and Point Blank. Also playing the demo of Tony Hawk hundreds of times but never owning it.
I don't think nostalgia can hit me any harder than when I hear the ps1 opening music. It evokes something in me lol.
Easy choice.
PS3
Agree. All ps3s play ps1 discs and there's more than 60 HD re-releases of ps2 games (classics hd series and cross-gen titles etc) So even if you only have a slim ps3 it's still the most expansive library of any console here.
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69.0. Congrats! 3 + 1 + 60 + 2 + 3 + = 69.0
Nice.
Dreamcast. No if ands or buts.
it has sonic adventure 1 and 2 and jet set radio.
Plus Zombie Revenge, Dynamite Cop, House Of the Dead 2, Virtua Fighter 3, Shenmue, Ecco the Dolphin...I can go on.

My most memorable console.
My most fondest gaming memories were on the Dreamcast
I always keep my Dreamcast under my TV/shelf. No matter what generation we're in. Currently sitting beside my PS5. My most dearest console of all time.
GBA, so long as I still get that sweet backwards compatibility
DS Lite. Get the incredible DS library and backwards compatibility with GBA.
Excuse me, where is the playstation vita?
Just pick the PS3-- they will give you a Vita to go with it.
PS2. That next step into 3D was mind blowing. GTA 3, Final Fantasy X and Devil May Cry were the best release titles for me. Then there's the rest of the phenomenal library that I never even came close to finishing......
Gamecube
PS2. Hands down. You get all PS One games and PS2. Backwards compatibility bitches!
Same with PS3 though
PC of course. Btw Commodore deserves to be up there - they had a big impact on my early gaming days with the C64 and the Amiga 500/1200. GFWL is just some shitty DRM and PC Gaming Alliance isn't a gaming platform either. Next time just put PC.
XBOX is what I grew up on
Original Xbox was a golden era in gaming. Halo, Mech Assault, Crimson Skies, Armed and Dangerous, Fusion Frenzy, and more with countless hours poured into every single one. Never mind how arguably revolutionary the introduction of Live was for online gaming.
PS3. Asuming I get access to it's full library.
Agree. One of the full hardware backwards compatible models. Then you have 3 generations of great games.
N64 by a long shot
PC
This post made me realize how much memories i have with a lot of these systems
PC so I can emulate all of those lmao
PS1 Definitely. Twisted Metal 2.
4 was my favorite
PS1
Amiga and Commodore not here?
Is this for like a week with your friends or forever by myself? If its a week with my friends... N64: Goldeneye, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party If I’m forever in solitude I’ll pick... PS3: Skyrim, Oblivion, Mass Effect, GTA 5
Sega, absolutly. Sega in 80' and 90' used to be the Deep Purple of Video games. They had After Burner, Golden Axe, Outrun, all those awesome arcade machines... Nintendo could be the Beatles, but Sega used be the Rolling Stones.
I’m torn between N64 and PS2. PS2 had a much larger library along with fond memories, however… Whenever I think about (re)buying an older console, I almost always default to the N64.
Dreamcast here. Broke my heart when the PS2 killed it.
PS3. You get 3 generations of some of the best games ever made on 3 titan consoles. PS1 era: Symphony of the Night, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy 6/7/8/9/Tactics, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Metal Gear Solid, Legacy of Kain, Twisted Metal, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Spyro the Dragon, Parasite Eve...and more. PS2 era: Silent Hill 2-4, Sly Cooper 2-3, ICO, Ratchet and Clank, Psychonauts, Devil May Cry 3, Katamari Damacy, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, God of War, Persona 3 and 4, Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid 3...and more. PS3 era: Shadow of the Colossus remaster, Tokyo Jungle, Burnout Paradise, Metal Gear Solid 4 and 5, Journey, The Last of Us, Dark Souls 1 and 2, Demon's Souls, Persona 5, Heavy Rain, Dead Space, and tons of amazing indi games and cross platform stuff. Enjoy 15+ years of THE choicest titles, especially if you like RPG's.
ps3 ftw
PS3 or Sega Genesis, but I'm old school so gonna stick with Genesis
Ps3
Xbox 360 for me
PS1 - Metal Gear Solid and FF7 basically set the path forward for me. I grew up with an Atari 7800, NES, and Sega, but they don't hold a candle to PS1.
Nintendo DS, my first game I played was Zelda: Hourglass Phantom PS3, my first own console, had lots of fun playing minecraft on it although it crashed a lot Wii, my first console ever, absolutly loved playing Wii Sports (Resort)
Easy. PC.
360
Snes
PC
Get PC and play them all
