What system has the highest percentage of good games?

[J T]

The only other VB game I have is Jack Bros, and I haven't played more than a few screens into it due to the whole VB doing all the things they used to claim masturbation does.

Virtual Boy makes you grow hair on your palms?!

I would say Sega Saturn, Master System, or Dreamcast.

As much as I love the Saturn, there was a lot of crap. (same goes for PS1) too many games doing 3D that had no business doing such.

I mean, by technicality one of those Pong home machines would have to win. As long as you like Pong, it's a 1:1 ratio of good games.

But if we're talking consoles with more than a hundred games, then I think the Dreamcast takes it... I think. It's hard to say... we've forgotten alot of the poor titles such as The Grinch, Buzz Lightyear to Star Command, and Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation; some of the shitty PlayStation games bleeding onto the Dreamcast. But I think despite that the Dreamcast has the best ratio of a MAJOR console.

The NeoGeo Pocket Color probably holds the title for best ratio of good to bad games; I don't know a ton about the NGPC, but I can't think of any titles that could objectively be viewed as "bad".

Not bad, but bleh. The NGPC has mostly uninspired ports - outside of the Metal Slug and Sonic games there isn't much on it that I really enjoy (and those are just basically inferior versions of bigger games). Unlike the better handhelds, it doesn't have that many games which are really built from the ground up to be a memorable portable experience.

Some have argued that the PSP suffers from this too (with handheld versions of God of War, Twisted Metal, Tekken, etc.), although I think it has a good share of original titles, too.

I think that approximating between the N64 and the Dreamcast is about right. I think a key factor for both of these is their first party support.

The only other VB game I have is Jack Bros, and I haven't played more than a few screens into it due to the whole VB doing all the things they used to claim masturbation does.

No, no, the Virtual Boy makes you sterile.

[AmishSamurai]

I'd say either the Dreamcast, or to throw one from left field the Vectrex.

[superlarz]

That's a really tough one...
Virtual Boy?
I'm kinda serious.
Think about it -- they were pretty much all first-party Nintendo games...

Hmm..an interesting thought.

Good games:

Telero Boxer
Wario Land
Mario's Tennis

Bad games:

Waterworld

I don't know about the rest, though. Anybody with a Virtual Boy want to tell us what else is good or bad?

The only other VB game I have is Jack Bros, and I haven't played more than a few screens into it due to the whole VB doing all the things they used to claim masturbation does. But so far it isn't a BAD game. I'd say based on what I've played it's average.

VB was the first thing i thought of when I saw the topic.
My opinion, out of the games I have plaved would be
Good Games
Telero Boxer
Wario Land
Mario's Tennis
Red Alarm
Virtual League Baseball
Red Alarm
Galatic Pinball

By good, mean I had fun playing the game and kept going back and playing it again for a while. It means it was playable without any major flaws making it unplayable. The only bad game I played is Waterworld. So out of what I played, 7/8 were good, and according to me out the 14 games released (according to wiki) in North America, we are looking at 50% or more good with 6 games yet to be played.

I know I'm the minority here but I say the oXbox. Every cross platform game either preformed or had Xbox Live support. My PS2 collection is based on only exclusive titles where the Xbox had better exclusive titles.

Again, I'm not an RPG fan so that's why my Xbox vs PS2 library is almost 2 to 1 but again I think the Xbox Live option brings a lot more shelf life and hence a higher precentage of good games ...

[KholdStare]

Sega Pico. All of those games are a ton O' Fun.

[Snickerd00dle]

I'm going to have to say Virtual Boy, with 14 games, and many of them still being fun to play, it takes the cake, waterworld is the only really shitty one i can think of, the others are just fun to play, especially vertical force
