POLL: Which was/is your 32 bit system of choice?

Which did/do you prefer?

My vote goes to the mighty Saturn!

VS

I was only 8 years old when these consoles came out. I decided to ask my mum for a Playstation, after playing on my older brothers console and being blown away by Ridge Racer and Alien Trilogy. That and I remember thinking my mum wouldn't fork out an extra £100 for a Sega Saturn lol.

Easily the PlayStation.

I can't think of many good things to say about the Saturn.

PS1 I just always thought it was better it had a better choice of games then what the Saturn had but easily the Dreamcast was way better then the Saturn.

I had an N64, but where is the 32X?;)

Well, if 32 bit means no N64, I'd go with the PSX. The Saturn was great fun, but the PSX had Spyro and Crash and two of my favorite Final Fantasy games(VII and IX).

I never owned a Playstation or Saturn when they were on the market (I had the N64). But I did buy a Saturn recently to see what it was like, and I do like it. Definitely an under-appreciated console.

playstation but both were higher then 32 bit right:?

Eh? No, they were both 32-bit.

If I had to choose one, I would say Playstation, which was my main system at the time. On the other hand, I'd like to add that I bought a really cheap Saturn shortly before the dreamcast came out, and therefore was able to enjoy some great games one that console (panzer dragoon, Daytona, Virtua Fighter 2).

Man, those games were good, it's sad the Saturn didn't have a longer life. But the Playstation just had a larger and more attractive library.

the PS1 had a larger more varied library of games sure. but, that desn't always translate to good quality titles.

loads of games on PS were just awful. it probably had a thousand titles or more. probably only 5 or 10 percent of those games were worth playing, and even fewer were triple A games.

aside from FF, RESI, Suikoden, MGS, soul blade, WipeOut and the sublime Vagrant Story,were there really that many games that were actually good? I'm not sure in retrospect just how many good games the PS1 had.

And on the other hand, i can name loads of games for the saturn that were genuinely good games and have aged suprisingly well.I'm not going to. cos that's not what i wanna do. I'm not a fan boy. far from it. i just know the titles i own for the system are certainly more treasured and are infintly more desireablethan anything on PS.

except, maybe,Vagrant Story...

Correct, they had 32-bit processors. The Jaguar and N64 had 64-bit processors. Technically, 3DO should be in the poll as well if you're going to talk about 5th Generation consoles. :PMAILER_DAEMON

32 bit = GBA GCN PS1 SAT XBOX WII 3DO DS FX chip in snes the ps2 is 64bit with a 64 bit gpu

mine would be ps1

XBOX was not 32 bit. Neither is wii. mattykovax

I meant the 32 bit generation if u get my drift.

I had the Playstation. That was my choice. So many games on that system I enjoyed.

I say neither.

I knew someone would mention the 3DO. But come on man, you know you couldn't afford it!

PlayStation, easily. I can't even think of a good thing to say about the Saturn.Flame_Blade88

No fan of SEGA arcade games? Plus it had some superior ports... especially the 2D fghters and some Capcom 3D.

both, though I had a PS1 back in the day, both are good systems in their own respective genres

I have both Playstation and Saturn. Playstation has better RPG library. Saturn has better fighting game library.DeafNYCPlayer

PS1

I say neither.

my cousin had one of those...it looked awesome, but it was terrible

Wrong. Both the Gamecube and Wii use IBM processors based on the PowerPC 4 architecture, which is a 64-bit processor. Also, the Jaguar had a 32-bit processor with a 64-bit wide bus to the hardware.

N64. It was during that time so that's what I got.
