I guess what I meant was the Intellivision was my favorite retro system. :animwink:

See..for me i was always a fan of Nintendo and SNES..but i dont really consider those retro since they werent really the "first"..

however....

Atari 2600 will ALWAYS hold a place in my heart...(i FINALLY beat pitfall for the first time the other day)

Spidey...Odyssey had a Lord of the Rings game that was half video game and half board game...pretty neat actually :)

(My personal faves were KC Munchkin, and there was one that you could pick either a plane, a sub, and a tank...and you battled the other player :) )

(Oh...and as for ColecoVision...my faves were Venture and Smurfs)

Remember the smurfs game for atari? It used the tape player adapter so you can use their audio tapes to help you get thru the game ;)

I can understand all your choices except Dreamcast, although one of the best Sega systems, I just found very few games I enjoyed, and their were too many extra add-ons. The built in rumble feature of today is awesome. I will get a XBox later on when they hit the $100 range. Which may be early next year. The Gamecube is just so cute and powerful. PS2 did not repeat the same feeling PSOne gave me back in the day. SNES was great, but during that time you really defended the system you decided to go with. :lol:

Dreamcast is still a VERY powerfull system..way ahead of its time (the hardware inside is called "Naomi"..which is the same guts inside most of segas arcade machines...more info can be read about this on www.system16.com )

The fact that it ran on windows CE made it EXTREAMLY easy to "alter" the system and run emulators on it (thus why it stole a spot over PSone for me)...it died all too quickly :(

Oh, yes I agree it was a great system, the reason I stood in line for two hours on Day one to get it. But like I said... the games were not up to it's capability (at least for me), and Sega was too far behind from Saturn to catch back up. But the emulator side was propably a big boost for you to go with it, so I understand now.

Its a shame too..given another year and games would have started showing off the power of the system...

But now my xbox is keeping me happy (also hacked..oops )

Dan, I completely agree...Dreamcast was WAY ahead of it's time and there are many games that I enjoy (it put faith back in the "SEGA" name for me) (I lost faith with the "Sega CD, Sega 32X, and Sega Saturn)

Try Test Drive LeMans...great game for DC...another great one is Soul Caliber...WOW!

Hey... Sega CD was innovative and had a few good games. The price was too high though, and they did not support it long enough with more Sonic CD's.

They made 2 diffent versions of the sega CD..one for the old style genesis..and then a cheaper version for the smaller style....

both didnt sell well at all...lack of good titles...only 3 or 4 games were worth the time..

32X came out at a BAD time...when people were anticipating the playstation..


Saturn..oh..dont get me started on that pile of...yeah...

Dreamcast was GREAT for its acrcade ports (mostly cuz as i said above..it WAS an arcade machine)...


lets hope the rumors at E3 are true..that Microsoft is buying sega :x
