I love shooters too

I've recently discovered the shooters on PC Engine and they are marvelous.

26 and still loving my ps2 and ds lite!!

Amazing choice, Johnny. To be honest most people would of chose the ps2 over the ps1 that it can play ps1 games. (of course among many other reasons! I love the ps2!) But to be honest your choice was wise man. I don't know if my reason makes any sense lol. But yeah most have to agree with me that in 1998, that had to of been one of the best years of gaming. If you look back most of the best games came out that year, truly amazing. Great video you guys! (: P.s my favorite console is on a tough choice between the SNES and the original playstation, and I'm 25.

im 19 and my two favourite consoles are probably the ps2 (purely because of jak and daxter and shadow of collosuss) and the snes!

31 and proud to say that my favorite is the SNES!! My god the NES was awesome but when this thing hit...changed everything for me! So many great memories and i still play it more than anything else I own!

For me the best console is Ps2 But the PS is the console that make LOVE the RPG genre so.... PS1 FTW :D (By the Way 27)

+CarmenOfSpades lol good point, and the controller is slightly better too (has joysticks, but not so damn heavy)

Also given it’s the most owned game system and by a landslide, but it’s not just because it sold a lot but because it set the standard. It innovated, it excelled, pushed forward what gaming is and should always be. Not to mention like you mentioned, the massive game library of two systems..the reasons could go on, ohhhh and also it had a DVD player, and added on to the most ground breaking controller, perfecting it before Xbox did which took them until the next generation to even have a good controller (also I love both Xbox and PlayStation to death)

PS1's Game Library is a seperate thing though (and in my very personal opinion, even greater than PS 2's Library), but that's up to everyone's taste and opinion of course

@@SoulforReal88 Sure, I can see that. It's just for me, I didn't get to experience the PS1 in its heyday (N64 kid here) so it wasn't until PS2 that I got to play it. The fact that pretty much everything on PS1 worked on PS2 without any problems/emulation hiccups etc. has always caused me to naturally lump the two consoles together. Even today, I have gone through over six PS2 consoles and have never bought a single PS1, but have always been experiencing fresh and interesting PS1 games ^^ Why just the other night I finally played ユーラシアエクスプレス殺人事件, a murder mystery interactive story in the vein of 街 that really impressed me :D It's amazing that even after all these years the system's library has so many surprises in store!

Also wow, it was four years ago when I made that original comment? Man, how the time flies!

+gfunkmoney06 wow... great taste... Actually I was picking my 2 favs and its 1: PS1 and 2; SNES

+gfunkmoney06 hell yea agree with the list but switch the PS1 and PS2 spot and add N64, Gamecube, and GBA SP

+gfunkmoney06 I agree with all but THAT last one...Genesis was guided by idiots and therefore they are the reason way it sucked.

@@sammylane21 idk man the way you described it reminded me of the xbox 360. The genesis was far better than the 360 arguably.

I was 24 when you posted this comment ha Ironically we grew with the same consoles Mega drive was my First Console then eventually got a PlayStation 1 and loved the console so many good games I would say I think the GameCube had some cool underrated games But the PlayStation 2 had the JRPGs so that's where I went :D Mega drive PlayStation 1 PlayStation 2

@@HollowRick I was 26. The PS2 was a phenomenal console. I have more games on the PS2 than I do on the GameCube, but the GameCube just did something for me. It was also the first console that I played the whole night through without realizing it! Haha! EDIT: Just re-read my old comment. Apparently I was 25... I just turned 33...

@@TheSeanCreagh we're getting old ha

I agree on the SNES, but the PS3 is towards the bottom of the console lineup in my opinion, and the worst of the PS systems.

Also i'm 19

While it's not my favorite console ..I totally agree with you... it had so many things that was not implemented into other consoles YEARS later... the only reason why it didn't get the notice that it should was because Sega previous to dream cast had sooooooooooo burn bridges...from sayurn, 32x and so much more.where they would only have so little library for their add on like the 32x..that by the time they brought something so great as the dream cast they lost so much fan base... which goes to show how much that is worth... same thing happened to blackberry...just because you are on top and people put up with your crap doesn't mean some else will come along and still your thunder ... which history is repeating with apple

182punkbunny Yeah, but i'm glad history is repeating this with apple.

Dreamcast is AMAZING!! I was lucky enough to get one when it came out (thanks parents!) and I played it hard until it went under. Jet Grind Radio, Marvel VS capcom 2, Soul Calibre, Power Stone, Phantasy Star Online, Skies of Arcadia, Tony Hawk Pro Skater... I had to choose SNES as my all time favorite, but the dreamcast is not far behind!

Oh man power stone!!! My friend had that game and we used to play that for days... I still wonder why they haven't brought that back out ... or even make a copy style of it

DT for life!

Gamecube is my favorite, followed by Game boy but Wii U by the end of the gen migh take the number one start

Bryan Flynn So many games i wanna play on it but their so expensive!

Bryan Flynn Ik but i wish online they were cheaper.

why not the nintendo wii? it can play gamecube games AND has some N64 games available for download. it also has other old games from different consoles available too. oh, and it can play wii games, forgot about that.

i am 23 favorite nintendo console?? Yep the SNES gets my vote too!! MMX

I'd say the opposite, SNES followed by PS1

to name a few great PS1 titles I still play: Tekken3 RE 1, 2 and 3 Fighting Force FF VII, VIII and IX Silent Hill MGS Crash Team Racing And who remembers all those awesome demos that came with the magazines? And Net Yaroze games, they were awesome!

***** My brother gave them all away to his friend, so he can borrow his dreamcast for two weeks :( If you know anywhere I could buy them all, let me know!

I was born in 90 (I'm 24 next week:) and I was lucky enough to have an older brother.

I know i sound stupid but... Wii U is my favorite

PS2 was better, as it can play PS1 games as well as PS2 games

Of course the PS1 had a library of amazing RPGs...so yeah maybe it's a toss up between the three. :p

Yes your right am a nut for rpgs n both had a ton of great rpgs

Whenever I see somebody say that their two favorite consoles of all time is the SNES and PS2, I instantly know that their favorite genre is RPGs.

Your story isn't so uncommon. A lot of us didn't discover older systems until long after they were obsolete. I didn't get an NES until September 2001. The GAMECUBE was just a couple months away, and here I was hooking up an 80s console to a Zenith TV of similar vintage in my garage.

Same here

im 20

Aesthetically, that's one of the best consoles ever made. It just looks so great.

its a cube that plays games lol the design is perfect for its name, i wouldn't necessarily say the gamecube has the best game library but it was the first console i re bought because i missed it from childhood

Steve Jobs was going to make an apple computer that was shaped like a cube because he was obsessed with the cube as being the most beautiful shape in the world. Then Nintendo beat him to it. He might argue that the handle ruins it, but I think it was really necessary. Picking it up without it would have been a real problem for people with small hands.

i like the handle, it gives the console charm lol

JustinChipman Show You know that you can play PS1 games on the PS2 right? I understand owning the system is better than just playing the games on another but the option is there.

yeah I know its just nostalgia for me I guess and plus I don't have a ps3 yet

JustinChipman Show You should get a PS4, it's expensive but you can get Playstation now which allows you to download exclusives from past Playstations.

JustinChipman Show god reading that makes me feel old- I was in my 20's in 1997...

yeah its just hard for me to call ps2 a retro console

@JulianRock lol, I'm surprised you actually looked at that. My cousin made that banner and my profile picture for me YEARS ago, like in 2015 or so, and I've always stuck with it. I can't remember why he put the 1987 thing, I guess he just thought it sounded cool. I was born in 1997, though.

Im 15 but my first console was game boy advance. I was like the only one who'd experience playing pokemon, good memories back then. But i had alot of memory on my ps2 the most. So im going with that for my fav console :3

Waie Shahran I use to own a PS2 till that broke. I did have a gameboy advance still have it lol

PS3 best so far! (The original, fat one.)

HARRY JC I agree that the fat PS3 is badass. I was able to find one one ebay for a good price and now get to play PS1/PS2/PS3 games with just one console. The only drawback being that the fans are loud and it heats up quickly.

this, absolutely this.

Ps1 completely pissed over the the PS2 for JRPG's. They were better as well on the ps1 and better quality.

PS2 plays PS1, true story

Barry wallace no way. PS2 is untouchable in terms of depth. PS1 rpgs were carried by Square, whereas the PS2 had multiple top tier developers and series. SMT, Tales, .hack, Shadow Hearts, the LV5 games. Xenosaga. The Suikoden games, although not adding much new, generelly improved. Then you saw interesting new concepts in games like Metal Saga, Steambot Chronicles and Graffiti Kingdom. Square had some great games too, although they were surely disappointing compared to their PS1 output. You could argue that PS1 was more revolutionary. In terms of top end I agree, but I think that kind of comparison is very arbitrary and frankly useless since we live in the now. Although the ps3 gen have superior technology, I still think the ps2 have better games, because the writing, design and gameplay make up for the lacking graphics. When comparing ps1 and ps2 I think the games are generally better on ps2 in all categories, not just graphics. And the sheer amount of great rpgs is on a whole other level.

Another hardcore PSP fan? *fistbump*

I'm hardcore psp fan to

Some PS1 games dont play well on the PSP, but I still love the hell out of it. Best way other than the PS1 to play those games. The shooters fighters and RPGs all play great on it. wish it had the L2 and R2 buttons and some analog sticks but 95 percent of the time you can find a way to make the ps1 games work near perfectly on the PSP. I see people playing with their phones and touch screens and it just makes me cringe. You can get a PSP for so cheap nowadays and they are so easy to mod its not even funny. Then all you need is a couple of micro SD cards and a 2 in 1 adapter to Memory Stick Duo and you are set. Even thou I download all my PSP games in ISO format, I still buy and collect PSP games. With them on the mem stick, they load faster and the batteries go a lot longer, and you are still using native hardware with the games, so theres no emulation issues cuz you're not emulating them. I love the PSP, and I feel people are missing out on it to this day. I have a lil trouble with a few EBOOT PS1 to PSP files but not many. and the ones that I do, I just play them on my PS1/2/3 . Some Ive had problems with off the top of my head are Skull Monkeys, Dragon Warrior 7 (loads but screen is just blank, can hear sound), MK Trilogy (loads but locks up quickly), Viewpoint, Doom, Kartia (loads but glitches out a lot). But besides those Ive had little problems with the PS1 to PSP. Check out emuParadise for the eboot files. Sorry for rattling on, but I do love me some PS1/PSP. anyone who is doubting the PSPs awesome-ness give it another try. Even if you dont like any PSP games you still have most of the PS1 library , not to mention all the emus you can find for it (the SNES ones never work well for me) and its a much cheaper alternative to Iphones and Android devices

Im a hardcore psp fan since i was 4

Yay finally someone else! :D

Totally agree. N64 was groundbreaking. Four controller ports, rumble pak, 3D worlds, etc... Goldeneye is one of the most important games in the history of the FPS genre. Super Smash, Mariokart, Mario Party, Diddy Kong racing, Gauntlet Legends and many other games revolutionized same room group gaming. 3D world interaction in games such as Zelda, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, and many others just blew our minds when they came out. So many huge leaps in gaming on one platform. I could go on and on about how awesome and innovative the N64 was and still is. No other system brought as much pure happiness and joy.

I'm 27 by the way.

I have really strange, fond memories of the Saturn because I only ever rented it from Blockbuster. We had parties were my brother and a few friends and I played through Cyber Speedway, Virtua Fighter, and Resident Evil together. Based just off that ridiculous selection of games, I recall being really in love with it. If I had bought it I would probably feel differently...

***** Well that wasn't the only reason >< what with the bad launch and stores boycotting it. I have only played saturn once or twice but is a console I have always wanted to get into...love every sega system released.

I still remember the surprise lauch. I walked into my local games store and saw a video screen running saturn video. "huh, that's cool, I'm going to watch this for a while", I thought. There was no internet back then so watching video was a rare treat. Then I realized it was a looking attract screen for Panzer Dragoon. "what a weird video", I thought. Then I looked over and saw that it was being piped from the console that was just sitting there waiting to be played. Then I saw a bunch of boxes behind the counter. "Is that... for sale?", I asked. The guy behind the counter just casually said "yeah.". It's almost impossible to explain how bizarre this was to a modern gamer who wasn't there for it.

Two very underrated systems. A shame too.

***** Yes, I was 5 years old and got the Master System for Christmas. I got a Genesis in 1992 and I love that console too.

+Nunya Bidness Not bad man, not too bad.

I had Dreamcast back when it come out. Playing those games felt you were on the cutting edge of gaming. Sega was hitting all cylinders, doing groundbreaking things. Shenmue is the best game I ever played.

Just to point out it's not a nostalgic thing, cause my first console was a SMS. (For the record I'm 29)

Federico Feroldi hey. to each their own. I'm 32, and NES is my favorite, and I never played a SMS til I was 29. Which I now have, It's my 3rd fav console. I have no issue putting the PS2 in my top 5

Same here man ps2 all the way

Also I'm 19

TyDiE yup me too, didnt have to get it chipped to play copied games.

TyDiE shenmue alone makes the dreamcast one of the best.

9/9/99 4 life! NO ONE will ever forget that day.

My favorite two game series on the ps2 is the Jak series and Kingdom Hearts, but the ps2 got nothing on the ps1

Dylan Lindsay i love the ps1 but the ps2 was just too good

***** That's one of the main reasons why it's the greatest console ever created

I also really love the PS1 and I'm still buying used games for that system even to this day. Resi 2 is just as scary as it was back then.

Cole Peerce Agreed it's tough to choose just one. And Gamecube was awesome.

+Cole Peerce (The Peerce Insinuation) Such a great system. FTW

My favorite game on Gamecube got to be Tales of Symphonia. That game was awesome

DrLite what? Double Dash is the best with only MK8 as competition. Wind Waker is the second best Zelda game ever. Melee is glorious! What are you talking about?

Nah, every one has their own personal preference

Not at all. I'm 26 and next to the Sega Genesis, mine is pretty much anything Playstation.

my fave is ether the n64 or the wii cos of how easy it is to mod it to play any game lol

Nickツ fuck no ps3 kicks ass

Nickツ Not at all, it's a great system.

PS2 great, I bought mine for GOW alone.

"GOW", Gears of War?

Russell LeBlanc I think he means God of War. That game was an absolute beast on that system.

mightyvoovoo lol I was kind of thrown off for a second. Either he was being sarcastic or I'm mistaken. Yep, God of War certainly was a great game. Playstation 2 was such a great console, I'm sure if you dig around the house you'll find 2 in the closet and one under the bed somewhere.

Russell LeBlanc Lol, I am taking about God of War.
