Hmm, I think I would have to say the SNES, that was a great console as well, they really pushed it near the end of it's run, Stunt Race FX, and Dirt Trax FX are amazing looking. mode 7 rocks.

Mine would have to be the Atari 2600. I used to have so much fun with that dern thing. I might grab the emulator, or break out the console itself soon.

I was never a big atari fan, the graphics were just too terrible. Not that graphics are everything, but the 2600 graphics hindered play as we discussed with E.T. :P

True about the graphics, but the 2600 was the Nintendo before Nintendo, if that makes any sense. It had a huge following, and overshadowed most of the other systems that were out, or shortly thereafter released.

The Snes of course! I love that system equally to the NES. And if you would consider it, N64 qould be another favorite "classic" System

I don't believe it's in production anymore, though I may be wrong. I don't know if that would actually be called classic or not. Cars don't become classics for a long time. OK, I'm just being silly, it's a classic!!! :D

my beef with the n64 was the analog stick, they just wore out too fast... especially if you played a lot...

I liked the Z button-trigger thing on the bottom. Also the set up of the C button. It was four buttons. I only didn't like attaching rumble paks and memory cards in the darn thing. Made it pretty heavy. Other than that, I liked it.

I agree that the trigger was a nice feature, I'm fine with a heavy controller though, I actually prefer the older dual analog controllers of the playstation to the dual shock 2 that ships with the PS2. I didn't like the rumble packs and stuff because they made the controller feel off centred, and unbalanced.

I have to go with Atari 2600 as it was my first introduction to gaming. I owned a Sega Master System before a NES, so I had fun with all the great games released for it (both of them). ... And if N64 is now a "classic system" then the DreamCast should be considered one also since it's dead and gone.

yeah, the DC, and N64 are both up there for fun-ness. DC especially, 'cause you can play loads of emulators and stuff on it.

I agree, NesterDC was one of the first discs I burned for my DC, and it's currently in my DC. But I still prefer to play on the real NES. The DC is much better than emulation on a PC. But it's not the same.

NesterDC was great, when I could play it. I think I still have a disc floating around here somewhere...

Final Fantasy 4-6
Dragon Quest 5-6
Terranigma
Tales of Phantasia
Seiken Densetsu 1-3 (Secret of Mana)

Some of the greatest RPGs (and adventures) ever made are on the SNES.

I agree with you on that one, my SNES collection really needs some work. but it's kinda waiting until my NES collection gets up some more first.

I'm gonna vote for the Turbo Grafx 16 with the Sega Master System and the Atari 2600 close behind.
