Atari 2600 (All time)- No other system will ever compare to the original Atari simply because in an age where the Arcade reigned supreme, this system came along and changed the way you would play video games. Oh yeah. The graphics are soo hilarious to look at now. Even back then the graphics were not even close to what you got at the Arcade. But the thing this system did was bring families together. It did mine. My parents, and step brothers all played that damn thing. Hell. I remember when I beat Pitfall and took a Polaroid of it to send in to Atari to prove I did. Lol. Fact is, this system was so much fun to play, even when you knew it wasn't gonna have the best look to it. That wasn't what made it work. If anything, the ET game should have killed this system, but it really didn't. What made it fall behind was the NES. But, as we know now, that was just evolution. The console systems would improve over the years, but the Atari stands out to me because of all the games that hooked me, and all the games I beat on it. And the fun I had with it will probably never be matched.




Did you ever play Pitfall 2? That and Adventure were my favorite 2600 games.


I did play Pitfall 2, and it was an alright game. I have a soft spot for the original though. Lol. I never did play Adventure but I know a few people who still rave about it.

1. Super NES - but only because of Mario All Stars.
2. Playstation 2 - but only because it's backwards compatible with PS1 games.
3. GameBoy - but only because of the original Pokemon games and how I feel they accurately represent the Blood/Crip gang struggle of the 1990's.

Game?

Portal!

Real Sports Boxing and Real Sports Football were my favorite Atari 2600 games. I really liked Adventure, Worm War I, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Venture, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Home Run, Joust, Pitfall, Grand Prix, and Spider-Man too.

Joust! One of my favorite Arcade games.

Another 2600 game that got played a lot was Warlords, because 4 people could play at the same time.

I believe that the Sega Megadrive was England's and Japan's name for what was called the Genesis over here in the US. I think that's right.

Resident Evil 4 (Favorite game of all time)- Galaga is a close second. However, the day I bought RE4 and put that disc into my Gamecube, I was forever changed. And a new game took over my all time favorite. Not only did this game save the survival horror genre, but it changed the way you would play FPS games. And, it also changed the RE universe forever. The beauty of this game lies in its' way of coming off like it is a new born child into the gaming world. Fact is, this game had the weight of an entire series on its' shoulders. And boy...did it ever succeed. It's tense, it's horrific, it's action packed, and for the time it came out (2005) it is simply beautiful on screen.

Favourite system: PS3 - has most of the same games available as Xbox and is free for playing online.

Favourite game: ooo tough one, probably COD4 as I spent way too long on that game.

Nintendo 64 was the most memorable console ever imo. I remember when I was a kid this is all we played and its quite memorable to gather together, to go to one house and just actually sit there side by side and play together. Todays console with online multiplayer seperate us abit and its not the same like before...... oh well you can't complain and just move on.
