Post by: Enter_the_Xero on January 05, 2005, 11:26:35 pm: I hate consoles a lot, prefer only computers...

If I really had to choose it would be an X-Box, fer the best hardware...

Right now, I\'m playing Postal 2 a lot.

Post by: Chestar on January 05, 2005, 11:48:10 pm: Xbox totally and Prince of Persia- Warrior Within

For handheld (yes I can say this too) my fav. is Nintendo DS w/ Super Mario 64 DS as the game.
Title:
Post by: gwaths on January 05, 2005, 11:51:05 pm: yeh, prince of persia is my third favorite game, after zelda the wind waker for gamecube and halo2 for xbox.

Post by: Kwip on January 06, 2005, 08:18:02 am: What are consoles really except computers?

But I would have to say my favorite is PC :D

Now I dont want to get flamed for calling PCs consoles, just that there is not much difference at all between them except that \'consoles\' often lack a few things that modern computing has brought us, like hard drives ;)
Title:
Post by: Efflixi Aduro on January 06, 2005, 08:25:27 am: My favorit consol ever would be the Gameboy pocket with the backlight which was called \"Gameboy Light\"

I loved it sooo much. I played pokemon games so much on that...
I played it more than my N64. My fav game was probably Pokemon....I was 9 -_-
Title:
Post by: gwaths on January 06, 2005, 08:28:39 pm: yeh, i used to play pokemon games alot, but after about the...13th time beating the games, they got sorta boring.
Title:
Post by: Foresteer on January 07, 2005, 12:28:59 am: pokemon was a great RPG as a matter of fact.. you wearnt tied down to single characters you could catch your own.. anyway PS2 and the GTA series whom i own everybody at (i am seriosuly pulled between wether VC or SA is better XD)
Title:
Post by: Couatl on January 07, 2005, 06:22:19 am: Super Nintendo. HAH!

Then again anything before that is cool too. Not to mention really hard to find on the market. :(
Title:
Post by: gwaths on January 10, 2005, 08:30:33 pm: does ne1 else have a favorite console/game?
Title:
Post by: Harkin on January 10, 2005, 10:02:32 pm: why are most people saying only new consoles/games... a lot of old ones are way better, you people just cant stand having bad graphics can you?

id be surprised if anyone here has heard of this game, and many may think i\'m a loser but: SEGA Gensis - Raiden Trad :D

i spent days and hours playing it over and over again with my joystick controller(one of the ones like an airplane joystick) ... those were the days ... *sigh*

Title:

Exactly the same for me. :) Although, Sonic games ruled me for many years, I did also spend alot of time playing Ecco the Dolphin. Sometimes I\'d play just to explore and act like a dolphin, jumping out of the waves, feeding, etc :)

Oh god that game stole so many hours of my life away as a child. I thought the graphics were lifelike at the time :P They still look good even today, at least par with donkey kong coutry (best looking game of that time period). I was so dissapointed by the new one they made a year ago, didn\'t feel like echo at all :(
Title:
Post by: CrusaderBlade on January 12, 2005, 01:43:43 am: hmm...my favorite console is the Gamecube, however i also have an nes, snes, n64, used to have Atari, and a ps1. But the best game ever made for a console (ps1) is definitely Final Fantasy Tactics. Hands down.

p.s. And i dont mean Advance.
Title:
Post by: gwaths on January 15, 2005, 08:28:19 pm: anyone else?
Title:
Post by: davo on January 15, 2005, 10:32:18 pm: nope not me sorry. i am older now and im not contained by the new console games.

i want the old games with a really screwd up story line and little evil people wanting to spend lots of money destroying the world.

i want to be young again !!!
Title:
Post by: Black_rose on January 20, 2005, 03:23:17 am: my favorite console is snes and pc tied.......
Title:
Post by: thimok on January 20, 2005, 02:18:21 pm: whoa....

Lol that is exactly me. I used to play Sonic the hegdehog 2 and echo the dolphin.

But I used to have the original nintendo, with the Mario bros and Zelda (w00t Zelda is fun).

Anyhow, I do not play consoles much. My Fav would prb be Xbox (he he cuz I can develop on it) and only played a couple of racing games on it so but I will say Halo 2. Though I love gamecube with Super smash bros melee, or even Segasaturn with Sonic adventure.

Post by: Couatl on January 21, 2005, 12:28:08 am: My dad finally caved in, and thus I inherited his SNES. Yey starfox..

Post by: Obsidian_Black on January 21, 2005, 02:08:41 am: OK don\'t think I\'m insane but Atari (don\'t care/know) Centipede. Man when i was kid I had one of those and then I got a Sega Genesis and my parents gave it to the Church (probably the reason i don\'t like Sega Genesis as much...) but Next Generation Console would probably be XBOX and Original Halo sadly I don\'t own an XBOX (waiting for XBOX2) but I gots Halo for PC.

Post by: dorbian on January 21, 2005, 10:44:03 am: hmmm

(http://www.pogopuschel.com/pix/pogo.gif)

Also very cool:

NES - The Legend of Zelda
Title:
Post by: Thenior on January 21, 2005, 04:42:04 pm: NES legend of Zelda was rather hard. But that little guy with the big sword was cool.

Legend of Zelda SNES was a lot of fun to.
Title:
Post by: gwaths on January 26, 2005, 02:30:35 am: the oldest zelda game i have ever played is the legend of zelda links awakining for gameboy. It was pretty cool. i beat everything except for the last temple. I got a glitch and a ladder didnt appear that wus suppoed to appear, so now im stuck lol....sooooo irelevant.
Title:
Post by: faldrok on January 26, 2005, 06:04:36 am: Actually, if we are talking about what game consumed the most time in your life it would have to be:

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for the NES.

That game took up my WHOLE life from about 3(or 4) until I was about 8. I finally broke the gun. :( Yeah, I had one of those really nice guns that you could hook up to your NES and play Duck Hunt. Well, actually...we had two. The generic, pretty cheap gray one, and a nice, new (at the time) red one. :D Oh man...those were the days.

Hmm, I was just thinking. I finally know why I am partially psychotic. Little kid, two guns - one in each hand - standing up while shooting ducks on the screen, running around like a maniac screaming, \"I killed the damned ducks again!!!\"; all while eating a PB&J sandwhich.

Wow...the good \'ol days...
Title:
Post by: Couatl on January 26, 2005, 07:44:26 am: ah, duck hunt, how could we forget that.. so addictive with the gun. And now the only console gun I have eats 6 batteries daily, and looks like a rocketlauncher. Its a Super Scope. Heheh.
Title:
Post by: Monketh on January 26, 2005, 10:26:13 pm: Playstation 2. DDRMax2 & Metal Gear Solid 2.

Also, something that no platform will ever have:

---> Grand Theft Auto III: with High-Res Textures and High-Quality Sounds
---> Quake 1, with 30+ MODS, running under DP engine
