Favorite Old Gaming System

[Arsenal28]

I just like the Nintendo because there is a directional pad and two buttons. All these new systems pratically require you to take a course on how to use the controllers for each game. So many damn buttons and sticks and triggers makes the game much less enjoyable.

when mario 3 came out.. it was a huge development progress to my eyes...
Such a nice game...
Well done nitendo.. Mario Galaxy is much much worst than mario 3 for sure...

Personally I loved the Super Nintendo "Bass Masters Classic" I was the queen of that game.

I've been thinking a lot about which games for which systems are the best and here are my choices.

Nintendo: Sports-Mike Tyson's Punchout, Action-SuperMario3, RPG-Dragon Warrior
Sega: Sports-NBA Live 95, Action-Sonic
ColecoVision: DonkeyKong Jr.
Atari: Frogger, Combat

I can't believe that Intellivison isn't a part of this poll!! I'm glad Lilred mentioned it, because I was starting to think I was too old to play in this thread.

I have to go with Sega. I missed my junior year of college playing Shadowrun on Sega (don't worry... I made up the classes the next year )
I briefly considered Nintendo . . . I was unstoppable at TechmoBowl and Super Contra . . . but I had to go with Sega in the end. Nintendo's D-pad had those sharp corners that would leave a blister on my thumb and force me to go on the disabled list in the middle of our Techmo season.

I'd tend to agree with Arsenal, though. If I played it in college, it's not an "old" system to me. That pretty much narrows it down to Atari, Intellivision, and Colecovision. Oh, and Pong . . . but I'm not quite that old.

Can I write in Intellivision?

Yeah used to love mine, me and my friend really loved the baseball on it.You know tho Intelevision is the only system I know that may have downgraded, one of my friends got an Intelevision 2 and it really was a piece of crap.

Mines out of the poll would have to be nintendo, the game would be Mike tyson's punch out... The best old school game console has got to be N64. You can drop that console down the stairs and it would still work. Someone said goldeneye. Ah man you really started something now. How about some four player action on that game??? I used to rule that game. In fact when I see my friends that is one subject that always comes up. I also like rainbow 6 on the N64 as well.
