[Dream-Knife]

Now someone needs to tape an SNES to a PS2.

 

[carlosrox]

SNES, PS1, 360, and Switch are my favorites.

 

[SleepySlippy]

It's the one plugged in to your screen.

[Loope]

I don't see a Game Gear, but you do you.

 

[brian0057]

Gamecube.

 

[TGO]

Don't worry, you can only see it at 400x Zoom

 

[Birdo]

If you are using that Series X to emulate the N64, I agree.

 

[Artistic]

Had the most fun with the 360(due to first taste of Xbox Live/online gaming).

PS2 is a close second.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

how is it called?

Turbo Mega Entertainment System Dual CD (this is the North American name)

Hey look, some drugs.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Does the controller come back if you rage-throw it when you lose?

 

[Ballthyrm]

It's the PC

With it I can play :

• PS1, PS2, PS3, PsP
• NES, Game&Watch, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, DS, 3DS, WiiU, Switch
• SG-1000, Master System, Genesis, Game Gear, Sega CD, Saturn, DreamCast
• Magnavox Odyssey, Magnavox Odyssey 2
• Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Lynx, Jaguar
• NeoGeo CD

I'm probably forgetting a lot of them.
And that's just listing the consoles that PC can emulate.

[cireza]

Series X and PS5 combined certainly don't reach the heights of several previous generation consoles.

My pick would be MegaDrive.

yes, and it has a built-in detector including a magnetic field to 'borrow' tech-periphery easily.

Apple really was ahead of its time...

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

Hmm, difficult choice.
In terms of a "real" console, possibly/probably the PC Engine.

For not quite real but as close as youre going to get, it really has to be the analogue Nt mini Noir.

And for the do it yourself holy crap I can play loads of systems including CPS1, CPS2 and NeoGeo games, it has to be the terribly named MiSTer FPGA system

Not my photos.
I'm not sure if those last two are cheating though?

 

[GymWolf]

Nah, it's still one between snes, ps1 and ps2.

 

[Finsksvenskan]

It’s definitely the PS1, soo many games I love that came to that console

 

[jigglet]

Wii or GBA SP.

 

[EverydayBeast]

OP is proclaimed a Sony AND Microsoft fanboy could someone get them a switch to tape.

 

[Aldynes]

For the extended/massive library i'd say OG PS3 (could play ps1/ps2/ps3)
For a modded console i'd say the Wii/WiiU as it's encompass nearly everything before PS1/Saturn including portable systems with emulators.

 

[Gamerguy84]

For me personally I have to go with PS4. I've owned every PS and PS4 tops my list.

 

[nightmare-slain]

PS2

 

[Papacheeks]

What are the pre-requisites for a console being best of all time?

Because to me there are possibly 2:

PS1:

Sega Dreamcast:

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Even better!

Straight up Retro Battle Station. I remember having the Sega Battle Station, the 32X, the CD add-on with the pedestal or dock for the Genesis. Fun times. Then came the CDX.

 

[CaptainABAB]

PS SERIES X5

How did you get that blue theme?

 

[Onironauta]

Does it have PS3 backwards compatibility tho?

 

[xpresstuning]

What are the pre-requisites for a console being best of all time?

How far back can you go and enjoy the games without technical limitations and continuously rising modern standards impeding enjoyment.
How many cream of the crop games does the machine have?
How many exclusives (not released officially digitally either) does it have to warrant the machine to be purchased (or emulated)?

It's all completely subjective, but that's what i go by. To me, it's the SNES/Megadrive + CD addon taped together.

+ Effortlessly easy to get into for anyone; 2D, approachable simple controls, great pixel art, smooth 'scrolling' (50/60FPS, usually). Retro devs have tried with varying levels of success to replicate what developers from the 16 bit generations perfected.
+ Bottomless library of excellent video games. RPGs, shooters, action platformers, collectathon platformers, quirky shit i can't even label, etc. You can live for a 150 years on a deserted island and still not be done with them.
- If you don't like 2D, you're screwed.

[Ballthyrm]

It had Towerfall and helped get it noticed, so just for that, Thank you Ouya, you tried.

 

[NEbeast]

trans-late you fagots

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

OP feels like the video game version of $30 Italian meal.

 

[Nickolaidas]

"trans" what is that in your browser is it what i think it is?

Maybe he's just a transFORMER fan?

 

[Putonahappyface]

And the mystery of OP’s gender identity

Or what crazy porn he likes.

 

[Forgol]

IMHO it would be NES. The best and most important console in my life.

 

[TGO]

How did you get that blue theme?

It's black, he has a Samsung

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

How did you get that blue theme?

Obviously it’s the white + gold theme. Are you blind or something?

 

[Kerlurk]

nvm

 

[keraj37]

How did you get that blue theme?

it is only for GAF members that are willing to pay extra $100/month for GOLD-extra forum status.
