2.Which game consoles were popular when your were a kid?
>>
Master System, SNES, Genesis. Mostly SNES.

Then came the PlayStation.
>>
>>56406350
SNES only.

But i was the only kid that could afford a video game in my village because my father was government worker, so we were wealthier than everyone else.
>>
>>56406620

SNES console best console.

>>56406350

I had a subscription to "Nintendo Power" magazine for several years as a kid. It was total anti-sega propaganda, so I only played Nintendo consoles usually, until Final Fantasy VII came along. Then I knew I had to have a Playstation, finally.

I may replay a playstation or SNES game once in a great while, but hardly anymore with the internet. the last console I bought was a PS2.

I also like the PIlotwings games and Marble Madness for NES/Famicon. :^D
>>
>>56406350

NES, SNES, MegaDrive, PlayStation, N64... Basically any and all of them.
>>
>>56406350
I was a Nintendo kid but most people had Playstation consoles, when I was a kid that was the Playstation and Playstation 2
And it's still Playstation in terms of sales in germany, they just buy this shit for FIFA, CoD and GTA
>>
4th Gen (SNES, Genesis) - 6th Gen (PS2, Xbox, Gamecube)
>>
>>56406350

2 ps1 but I owned and preferred the N64, after a while I bought the ps1 too

only pegasus (a famicom clone) with a bunch of counterfeit cartridges i think

then, beggining with playstation it was basically like everywhere else, tho nintendo stationary consoles can never get really popular, gameboys were loved tho,
>>
>>56407061
>Genesis

I wonder if the reason why they called it that in America is to lure parents that it's a Christian thing.
>>
SNES, most kids had those as Gensis's were expensive.
>>
I've had consoles of every generation.

But the NES holds a special place in my heart.
>>
>>56407178
lmao, you couldnt be possibly making this shit up
>>
>>56407245

I'm not. The Sega Mega Drive was called the Sega Genesis in America.
>>
>>56406350
1. Azerbaijan.
2. GB, NES, Mega Drive, SNES.
>>
PlayStation far and away was the console most kids in school talked about. Not many people bothered with the N64 apart from the Chinese kid.

Pokemon obvious was massively popular, we brought our gameboys in and had one kid restart their game over and over so we could trade all the starter pokemon.

Me and a group of kids got really into Gameboy Advance stuff. Playing that Legend of Zelda Link to the Past with Four Swords and actually completing it, I was the red Link iirc and some other multiplaying games

>Consensus states it was due to a trademark dispute. The facts are blurred, but point possibly to a U.S. manufacturer of storage devices called Mega Drive Systems Inc.
>>
Playstation was the shit but my parents didn't buy me one.
>>
>>56407277
It was because "Mega Drive" brand was registered already (for baby diapers, lol).
>>
>>56406350
PS2, Gamecube, Gameboy advance

Genesis is a better name than "Mega Drive" anyway.
>>
I knew only one family that had N64.

It was PS1 and PS2 here definitely (of those generations).
>>
>>56407449

Were your parents poor, or was that a conscious decision on their part?
>>
>>56407454
Nah.
Also, genesis casing was utter shit.

No, you're just saying that out of nostalgia or something to that effect.

i like you
>>
>>56407512
And you aren't? Both names are shit, the only SEGA console with a good name was the Dreamcast.
>>
>>56407565

No, I'm not. One friend had a Mega Drive when I was growing up, and I didn't like it except for Mortal Kombat.
>>
>>56407654
Clearly you didn't play quackshot, or comix zone. Or Sonic. It's no SNES but then again, what is?
>>
>>56407545
>Muh Nintendo

The N64 was the weakest console they ever put out, next to the PlayStation it looks like a joke.
The only reason anyone regards it with fondness is just childhood memories and brand loyalty. The only good games were like 3 or 4 Nintendo's 1st party and like Blast Corps

>>56406350

fuck i remember my birthday. we went with mom to buy me metal gear solid and a memory card. i had also a magazine with some metal info. the first time i powered up ps and the metal gear solid intro started. fuck that was one of my happiest moment in my life. im 26 now.

Obviously gameboys, but then later the consensus seemed to switch between Microsoft and Sony from Ps2 to 360 and now back to Ps4. Wii had a burst of popularity for a year too
>>
NES, Mega Drive and PS1 in '97.
many have upgraded nes/md to ps1 because russians sold cheap ps1 copy games

SNES and N64 only for rich people
>>
>>56408086
I think the gamecube takes the cake for weakest console from Nintendo.

The N64 had 007 Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros, Zelda, Conker, Star Fox, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong racing and some others, it was a fun library.

Ps2, Gamecube, and n64. The latest console in my childhood would be the Xbox original.

Runescape and CS1.6, everybody was playing them back then and everybody plays them today. Well CSGO instead of 1.6 but they are pretty similiar.

For what I remember PS1 was more popular
I favoured the 64 though, those fucking games were magic m8

I had a GBC. N64 was pretty popular at the time too.
Later on I got a gamecube and GBA when they came out. A lot of people I knew owned a gamecube as well. Best console 2bh

It's not just nostalgia glasses either.

It was the perfect time for melding creativity with relatively limited, but adequate, processing power.
