Yeah same here that game for the N64 was so fun cause i thought it remined me so much about South park but then I had played The stick of truth. It was such an epic game i beat it as a mage on PC and am now running through the game as a theif on Ps3 and i have no regrets.

I never got to play Musha until many years later, I never seen it at rental stores or anywhere back in the day (not even in import shops or independent game stores).

That's a hard one. I think I'd have to go with the GameCube. It was a well refined console that just did gaming and did it rather well. Snes and Dreamcast are close seconds, though.

Handheld: GBA hands down.

jayjay123 · Sep 6, 2014

Atari 2600 and NES hands down.

ZX Spectrum wasn't a console but it was my fav. machine from the 80s

madmarvin1974 · Sep 6, 2014

I have to say i loved my Atari 2600 with frostbyte, but my fave console was my Snes

Happy memories

WiiCube_2013 · Sep 6, 2014

Mega Drive > NES > Pirate Cart Console

I loved the 90s and wish I could go back, it's technically possible via the games and the place where they're played but that's about it.

I didn't even own a console until I was in my teens. So up until that point the only way I got my gaming fix was to go up the local chippy at weekends and sink endless 10p pieces into whatever they had in there at the time. Childhood favourites were games like Circus Charlie, Shinobi, Star Force, Rastan, Robocop, Tiger Heli etc. They used to change the games every 2 weeks or so. Those were the days!

Hah! It wasn't long time ago! I would say it was Wii, I was maybe 12 then - now I'm 15

My first console was GBA, and last 3DS XL (I'm still enjoing this), but excluding older consoles, which I only played as emulators (favorite: NES and SNES) my favorite was Wii - simply becouse titles - SMG, Rabbids go Home, Super Smash Bros Brawl (best theme music in series in m opinion), No More Heroes 2. I didn't play on Wii U, but I've seen some gameplays, but I think I would like SMG more than SM3DW and surely more than SM3DL, which I've played on 3DS. It was just more non-linear, explorational and not so casual as SM3DL - I think similiar comparing another Wii titles to Wii U ones. I've enjoyed Gamecube games on my Wii too - my favorites were Luigi's Mansion and WarioWorld (I would like SMS more if it had better level design). I think that Wii U would be great console, but it seems that my favorite series have their best time on Wii, but now turned too casual for me.

So my favorite console was Wii (also it had great homebrew, so I used to enjoy not only Wii games, but also SNES, which I really liked

)

sarkwalvein · Sep 6, 2014

Megadrive for sure, but I also enjoyed the Famicom quite a lot (yes, they sold Famicom clones (not NES) in my homeland and called it "Family Game").

Tom Bombadildo · Sep 6, 2014

PS1, because I liked playing more than 5 worthwhile games in an entire library.

They used to have Wardner in a local kebab house. One of my favourite gaming achievements is (after much practice) completing it in a single credit.

Yep! Wardner is another one. If i remember rightly, that game was REALLY hard! I think I bought it a few years later for the Megadrive when it came out. Cracking little game that. I used to be able to get to the last maze level of Wonderboy in Monsterland when they had that in the chippy but never figure out how to get through it.

Foxi4 · Sep 6, 2014

Game Boy Advance. I loved to play multi on that thing, so much so that my mom used to say that I was "connected with an umbrical cord" with my best friend (pun on the GBA cable).

They had that (along with Shinobi) in a seedy amusement arcade when I was around 13. I actually used to draw a small crowd when I played because I could get further than any of the regulars. I could never get by the 'Ghost' boss in Round 8 though.

Back on topic. Mine was the SNES even though I didn't get it until I was 18.
