Hmm, despite being a great game, Mario 64 isn't even among my top 10 favorites on the console. I guess it boils down to what type of games you like also. I don't like racing games and traditional fighting games(like Tekken), so that puts a big dent in PS1 for me.
Out of the entire, huge, PS library, your opinion is based on three games?
We should absolutely include Commodore. They were plugged into TVs and were primarily for games, unlike PCs, which only the very high-end machines are capable of even playing games.
Bang on!
If we're counting Commodore, which I don't think we should, then the C64 shits all over the Amiga.
No no, I played many more. But those are somehow the 3 series I remember the most.
About half of them. My point still stands.
If we're including the Amiga 500, that will close to the top of my list.
I take your point. Hmm....yeah, I guess they should be included.
True. Buggy Boy was C64, and then shifted to the Amiga. It wasn't the same on the Amiga though.I take your point. Hmm....yeah, I guess they should be included.
Of course the Amiga was a giant upgrade on the C64 but, going by that logic, the answer to the thread is PS4 without question.
Don't forget, a huge chunk of Amiga games started out on the C64 and were just upgraded for the new machine - itself an upgrade of the C64. The C64 was pretty groundbreaking when it came along.
That said, Sensi and Cannon Fodder are two of my all-time favourite games. Great shouts.

Did you play any of the games/series I listed?
Gran Turismo 3 was a revolution for it's time too, miles better than Gran Turismo 4 for it's time. Metal Gear Solid still get's talked about today, as genre defining and brilliant. I was never a big fan of Driver; I liked the first mission and then got bored. GTA 3 blew it out the water a few years later.
Look through a list of C64 titles and see how many you remember on the Amiga.
Who cares about 10 minute loading screens when you've got this to keep you entertained?
My list, if I'm not mistaken, are all PS exclusive....or were, originally....and were all huge games/series, imo.Gran Turismo 3 was a revolution for it's time too, miles better than Gran Turismo 4 for it's time.

Spyro 2 was an underrated gem (that draw distance), and Spyro 1 and 3 aren't too bad either.
I'm currently teaching my Son to play video games by playing the PS1 game "Disney Action Game Featuring Hercules" which was surprisingly hard and fun.
Edit - Gran Turismo 3 is a PS2 game
I don't have kids but this surely has to be one of the coolest things about having one, up there with first footy match and the like.
Yeah I was looking at that trying to work it out.
I like Micro Machines, but always suffer from not being able to see what's coming up. No matter how many times I'd play a particular track, I'd always forget about something.
The thing we loved was that it was 4 player, which was just ridiculously funny.
I can't believe Time Crisis 2 isn't on the PS Store (none of the games are?!) Can you get Goldeneye on anything up to date?
Nope.
Do polls stifle debate a bit? Most people here probably haven't played a NES, Atari or C64 either
That's a fair point.
I have Hook and have played it a bit. It's good, but I remember getting stuck on one level which was a bit tricky and haven't gone back to it since. I will some time though!That's a fair point.

I'm surprised to not see more love for N64. Could it be because the most hardcore N64 fans are in their late twenties and therefore out drinking now?
To the other SNES fans in here: did you ever play 'Biker Mice From Mars' or 'Hook'? They're not so famous, but I enjoyed them a lot.
'Hook' is a ridiculously tricky game, but that is also some of its appeal. It's especially hard when you learn how to fly and have to navigate through places with spikes. Not to mention, your flying ability is not unlimited and it wont charge until you find more fairy dust. It's easy to get stuck in shitty places.
The level I got stuck on from what I can remember had you going along some water. I'm not sure if you were surfing along or what.
Think there's too many consoles to put in one unless you can come up with a list that includes everything non-handheld/PC.
That's the worst aspect of new consoles for me. It's shit how they've phased out the option to play most games on split screen with your mates.
