FreeDOS + Giant Red Koopa Legion: freedos = fritos                    Since: 11-17-05 From: Seattle Last post: 6327 days Last view: 6327 days |

| I picked a few of the common systems to give an idea where the generations lie, but of course there's many more systems than I listed. Choice 8 is there if you don't know what generation your favorite system lies in, or if you don't have favorites, or you're a computer gamer and don't belong in the mainstream gens.
Personally, I love the third and fourth generations, the games were just wonderful. Older games don't really appeal, and newer ones rarely spark my interest (the notable exceptions might be Super Mario 64, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 64; however, I must say I'm anxious to see how the Wii turns out). |

| 3rd Generation and the ol' trusty NES. The GameBoy was awesome too, but it spanned what, like 3 generations?
4th Generation is a close second, I must add. |

| I want to say I don't pick favorites, but... SNES wins. Wasn't much of a Genesis person, though I did play it every once in a while... | |||

4th, 6th, and 7th here. The 4th mostly for the SNES (even though the only time we ever get a chance to use a real one is at our aunt's house), the 6th for the GBA, and the 7th for anything except the Xbox 360 and PS3  As much as I'd like to be able to choose a favorite from those though, I'm having a hard time doing so, as there's no one system that stands out in any way 
Simply put, I like them all, but there are none that I prefer over the others at present. I was going to include the Gamecube in the first paragraph, but I hardly play games on the thing anymore. The only game that I may end up putting in it before getting a new game, or possibly even a Wii is Tales of Symphonia, mostly because I remember how great I used to think that game was, and it's been a while since I touched it 
For the sake of the poll though, I think I'm going to choose the 7th generation. That's pretty much only because just so long as you have a PSP with anything less than firmware 2.7, you can play nearly any game from the older generations you want
This is off-topic, but if anyone's using Internet Explorer to view this thread, I hope my layout isn't stretching things horribly. I know last time I used this one it did, but I think I've fixed things so it shows properly in that browser for now 
Edit: expect and except are way too similar. (edited by Kuxadarr on 05-16-06 03:15 PM) |

| 3rd and 4th.
I started playing the good ol' NES system, then played the hell out of SNES. Mario, Donkey Kong, Final Fight... it was all good.  |

| 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th.
More so the first three. The NES and the Gameboy was the win, I had the Sega Genesis which rocked at times, and there was the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation which were awesome. I'll pick the 5th, because the Nintendo 64 was the last Nintendo system I loved and made me want to play it (Not counting the Wii) Plus, Diddy Kong Racing and Mario 64 really kept me going for months at a time. Edit: Actually, this poll made me realize that I have been playing games for awhile. Started with the 2nd Generation (Intellivision + Pitfall! = Fun Fun Fun) I feel old now.

| 4th generation
I have memories of playing that system a lot as a child. I did own a Genesis but I didn't play it as much as my SNES. I only owned 3 games back then and they were all Mario games. They were SMW, SMAS, and SMK. My parents rarely bought games at that time because they were a little more expensive back then. Didn't start playing other SNES games until I found out about ROMs. |

| 4th Generation FTW!
Genesis was my favorite console ever, still is. SNES wasn't far behind ;o But seriously, Sonic 1-3 & Knuckles had me completely hooked  |

| 4th.
Genesis and SNES were my game systems. Sonic for the fun of running through levels and then the Debug mode when I found out about it. SNES had many games that I played CONSTANTLY. Tetris Attack? I was immortal. ...not to say that I am not immortal on it now, I could probably be beat by any of you now, so... |

| I'd have to say 3rd and 4th generations, since I love my old 8-bit games and my 16-bit ones aren't that shabby. I wouldn't consider handhelds to be included in the generations since those are reserved for consoles, but I voted 6th mainly for GBA. |

| Alastor: Dreamcast is somewhere in between 4th and 5th, if I remember right. It didn't last too long in the current gen, so... yeah. It would be just a tad hard to place.
Of course, the fact that you had a generation dedicated exclusively to Pong says something, too... It's too hard for me to choose. Anything from the 3rd on has had something for me... |

| In my mind, it will always be the winner of the 6th generation... And every other generation.
between 4th and 5th wtf |

| It was released first (by a decent margin), and it vanished not too long after the Xbox and Gamecube came out. I think that qualifies.
Of course, lumping it in one would be 6th, so... yeah. And I'm an idiot for neglecting that gen 1 is Pong. Oops. That should've been 5th and 6th... |

| Dreamcast is normally put into the 6th generation, partially because Sega advertised it as "128-bit!" (along with Sony with the PS2; neither statement is true)
Sorry for leaving Dreamcast out of the list, I quickly realised I forgot it, but the poll edit feature is broken. |

| I really like the SNES era because of great games for the system like:-
Earthbound Chrono Trigger SMW Blackthorne F-Zero I rerally liked the Game Boy Color,too because of Pokémon Crystal which has to be the greatest handheld game ever |

| Some time during the mid 90s I got my first PC and experienced the advent of deathmatches, LAN play, realtime strategy, modding, etc. I don't think I've ever had as much fun with gaming as I had during that period.
Other than that, I was all for the Mega Drive and its emphasis on arcade action. The JRPG-ridden SNES didn't appeal to me that much. |

I really cant wait for the Wii, I already have a 360, and I was totally for the PS3, but, when I can get 2 systems for the price of that one could be, and their both great. So im sticking to the 7th generation...im not to old school  |

Originally posted by Bixcupasic Try four of us, then, if you're so confident. The assumed top 4 from the tournament (it never finished): Surlent, myself, Xkeeper, and Hiryuu. I think you'll find us worthy opposition, if you're able to arrange games. By which I of course mean either Xk or Hiryuu will kick your ass, Surlent will be a graceful loser, and I'll be complaining about how close I came to winning when in reality I was losing the whole time. |

| Okay, you definitely missed something there. Perhaps the part that says "be beat by any of you"? |
