Your Personal Least-favourite consoles

The original American TG16. Sure you can do far worse, but one sad joke if viewed side by side with PC Engine. Particularly hurt by its inability to play CD games. At least a US Duo will do that.

The PCE couldn't play CD games either. Both the PCE & TG16 could have a CD attached to it and play CD games. The PCE didn't come with the CD drive. Even NEC of Japan wasn't that generous.

Well yeah when you think of it that way. Makes me feel a little better.

Definitely the NES. I grew up with a SMS and never experienced the NES classics until a few years ago. I respect the games for the influence that they had, but i have no desire to play the original LOZ when i have played LOZ:Link to the Past. Or to play Final Fantasy 1 after playing 4 and 6.

That's like sayin: "Damn, Beefaroni's are pretty righteous and all, but after fillet mignon and a side of mashed potatoes smashed and whipped by God Himself, smothered in the Lord's homemade gravy - Chef Boyardee can tickle my left testicle..."

I have never found any of the consoles that came out before the NES to be very much fun. Consoles like the 2600, Colecovision, and that sort of thing. The games are too simple for my tastes, and the sound is generally pretty bad. A lot of those games, rather than having original music, just used well known public domain tunes, like Yankee Doodle, or The Bear Went Over the Mountain.

I'm sure some of you will think that opinion is ridiculous, but it's what I think. Those consoles are of the only generation I didn't have access to when I was small, so that could be why I don't think too much of them.

Playing Atari games seems sorta like watching films from before the 1920s. Historically significant, but not really worth watching nowadays on their own merits. Probably not an entirely accurate comparison, but you get my point. I wouldn't feel bad about disliking the 2600.

That's the exact comparison I've used myself before when talking to Atari die-hards who can't understand how I could think Atari 2600 isn't that fun.

I imagine most atari die-hards played the system a lot in its heyday. I think enjoying the console really requires putting yourself in its time, if you get what I'm saying.
