Which (2) 5th GEN Consoles are you owning? Poll Question

[D.D.D.]

Why can't I choose 3? I own 3. I own a PS1, a Sega Saturn, and an N64. But if for some reason I had to get rid of one, it would be the N64. PS1 is definitely my favorite in that generation by a wide-margin, and I like my Saturn more than my N64.

PS1/SS/N64 are in my collection but I don't ever use my PS1 as the PS2 + 3 play the games. So, SS + N64.

Atari Jaguar and PanaSonic 3DO, cause I'm a liar.

I can honestly say, I probably wouldn't miss my PSOne... So while my gut is screaming at me "Playstation was clearly the best" I'd actually not choose it.

For me it'd be Sega Saturn obviously, it has some of my favourite games of all time on it like Alien Trilogy, Titan Wars (Solar Eclipse), Saturn Bomberman, Sonic Jam, Spot Goes To Hollywood and so much more.

For my second choice though, while there are a couple of decent games on the Jaguar, I'd have to go for the 3DO. As everyone is aware, I have no love for the N64 and honestly can't think of a single game on that console I'd want, so that's at the bottom of my 5. The Jaguar had Aliens vs. Predator and Zool which are cool games and I'd be sad to miss them, but the 3DO has Killing Time, Crash 'n Burn, Total Eclipse, Lucienne's Quest and Incredible Machine... sure that's only 5 games but they're fun and if I've got a 3DO, I'm going to use it for Gex too.

When it comes to the PSOne I have to justify what I'm missing though, and honestly, I'm not really missing anything. Even if we assume that the PS2's backwards compatibility is cheating, almost every decent game is avaliable somewhere else. Pretty much every multi-platform game will be on either the SNES, Sega CD, 3DO, Saturn or Dreamcast, more often than not, the Saturn which is the other console I chose. The best games for the PSOne, it's RPGs are all out on either the PSP or the Nintendo DS now, (mostly the PSP), even the Final Fantasy games are avaliable now thanks to PSN. PSN also has the classic platformers like Crash Bandicoot so I'm OK there, and the Gamecube is the best version of the Resident Evil games by far. Pretty much every other series, ie. Tony Hawk, Gran Turismo etc. has had a better sequel come out for the PS2 so that's pretty much everything covered.

So yeah. For me it's Sega Saturn and Panasonic 3DO.

Good point. Am I allowed to change my answer?

Back when the 5th generation was the current generation I had a N64 and Playstation.

People look back now and lament the crappy N64 titles but games like Mario 64, Mario Kart, and Golden Eye were unbelievable at the time. Mario was the first game where people would just watch others play because it seemed like you were watching a movie. Throw in a huge leap in wrestling games (and the fun multiplayer with it) and it was a system to own.

I also had a ton of Playstation games, regrettably because of having a mod chip (hey, being 18 and in college with a T3 connection to download whatever I wanted), although I've tried to make up karma there by buying original copies as a professional adult collector now. Played a lot of RPGs and all my sports titles were on that system. The N64 was terrible for sports.

I never had a Saturn, but my one friend (who was quite a collector at the time) did. I really enjoy the system now, having picked up a great bundle over the summer. Plus, I used to play all those Capcom x-men/street fighter games as imports on the PSX and the difference on the Saturn is mind blowing.

Today, I have four of the Gen 5 systems (no Jaguar) and if i had to select two, because of the wrestling games, id probably have to leave the playstation out. I haven't used my ps1 in forever.

What? Are you ill.... if not I seriously call into question the movies you've been watching.
