The xbox is a 128 bit console SNICK. Basically everytime a new system is released, They like to double the bits, or times it by a number.

The bit depth refers to graphics processing, not cpu processing I believe  jester.gif

Anyway, N64! (Yes, I do choose N64 over PS1!)

N64 all the way, never liked the playstations. I guess I'm just a multiplayer guy.

Saturn; the only hardcore, non-mainstream, true gamers console of choice. wink.gif


Edit: The xbox is indeed a 32 bitter, not 128.  But that doesn't mean crap.

Yeah, back in the day they used the cpu bits as a marketing tool.

Loved my n64 back in the day.
I hate Sony's hardware, its so fucking cheap.  I have 2 psxs with shot lasers and so forth, while my n64 still runs like new.

i liked the first models much better, they had that thing in the back were you could plug in your gameshark
which with the newer ones you had to use a cd and a memory card thing

i still have mine, but i can only get a couple games working on it, yes the games run like shit but its always nice to have around
oh yeah thats right, i also bought one of those smaller playstations that i bought about a year ago for $50, before i modded my xbox, i forgot about that thing lol
i would still perfer playing psx games on my xbox, has more features and stuff



i guess no one likes the jaguar the best
there were only two games that i liked doom and wolfenstein
poor jaguar  tongue.gif

I mean how can you go wrong with great games like Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Blast Corps, Lylat Wars (starfox), Pilot Wings, Wave Race, and one of the best games ever The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, AND lots more. Plus the handy 4meg Upgrade smile.gif

Saturn was second fave, Nights and Sonic Jam, yay spindash in Sonic 1! biggrin.gif
and games like Sonic R, the Panzer Dragoon series, Daytona, HotD and more, n a handy 4meg Upgrade here aswell lol

And then the PSX, some good games, but nothing great, a pretty crap console made from even craper parts lol,
Sold mine n used the money on train tickets to see my girlfriend and vodka laugh.gif

Seen, but never played on a Jaguar Console.

N64 graphics sucked, blurry as hell. only had a few good games like goldeneye and the WCW games.  All The games were for kids.  sports games sucked.

Saturn was OK for 2D stuff but 3D was hurting cause it was never meant to be a 3D machine.

Playstation had the most original games, like resident evil and metal gear solid, had more of a variety and was technically superior 3D wise to Saturn.

Jaguar was basically a suped up 16-Bit machine.  But Doom, and Alien Vs. Predator still stand up as great games.  Alien Vs. Predator used to scare the living shit out of you especially those damn face huggers, similar to the feeling you get when you play doom 3 nowadays.

Just my two cents

PS  Neo Geo ruled

saturn no doubt.

if 128-bit was on the list, i would say the dreamcast is my favorite, and still is my favorite.

xbox only passed the dc for its versitility, as far as games go, dc holds the crown imo.

if the xbox was locked up tighter than the gamecube, i would still be playing nothing but dreamcast games.


*anything pre-saturn, nintendo ruled.*

Yup, if you are not limiting which consoles are the best nothing can touch the Super Nintendo.

I've always been a major Saturn fanatic ever since the system came out.

Lets not any dillusions that the hardware itself was great - it was not, in fact it was a flippin' jungle.

But the quality of the games has still not been matched by any console in my eyes....  Nights, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Grandia, Guardian Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Silhouette Mirage, Shining Force III, Xmen Vs. Street Fighter, Vampire Savior, Castlevania X, Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, King of Fighters 95-97, Suikoden, Vandel Hearts, Dead or Alive, Panzer Dragoon 1-2, Sol Fearce, Duke Nukem 3D, Megaman X4, Marvel Super Heroes, Vampire Hunter, Christmas Nights, Fighters Megamix, Shining the Holy Arc, Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter 2, Sega Rally, Lunar Silver Star Story Complete, Sakura Taisen, Dark Savior, Thunderforce V, Langrisser IV, Magic Knight Rayearth, Daytona USA, Pocket Fighters, Waku Waku 7, Dragon Force 1-2, Dungeons & Dragons Collection, Gun Griffon 1-2, Manx TT, Sega Ages, Virtua Cop 2, House of the Dead, Sonic R, Steep Slope Sliders, Marvel Super Heroes, XMen: COTA, Street Fighter Alpha 1-3, Virtual On... hell I could be here all day listing the classics.  Yeah, I'm obsessed.

I chose the Saturn over the Playstation and N64, and while I eventually purchased all 3 consoles, I never regretted going with the Saturn first.

i know i had said that in the first post but i edited it to stop Dionate18 from bitching at me.
it don't mean shit though, xbox can still blow all the 128 bit consoles out of the water graphics wise
