PS1 > Everything

Klonoa (though there is the Wii-make now)

Still though I don't consider the PS1 the best console ever.

It was definitely the best console of the 5th generation. The N64 was also great, though.

PS1 was a terrible console the tech just wasn't good enough for 3D yet IMHO

SNES is still the king by far

The fact that it wasn't very powerful doesn't make it terrible. For instance, the Wii is the least powerful console this gen. Do you consider itterrible?

Great for its time? Definitely. But many other consoles shone during their heydays.. none brighter than SNES imo :D

probably my favourite system, alot of great games, even if some were also on other systems

It was good, but it had a problem: horribly pixelated, warping 3D graphics. Ew! :lol:

The greatest? Na, but it is up there--perhaps in the top three. SNES is the #1 console EVER. About your list...

-Resident Evil 3 was garbage.

-Tekken 2/3 are yet to be topped in the series. Tekken 1 doesn't hold up, though.

-Spyro is an overrated pile of trash.

-Crash is a pretty sweet series.

-Twisted Metal 3 IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.

-Final Fantasy 789 are just okay. 7 is especially overrated.

-I love Metal Gear Solid as much as the next person, but a lot of the gameplay doesn't hold up as well anymore.

-Castelvania was trash.

-Tony Hawk 1&2 were pretty good.

-Bushido Blade had a cool concept, but if you try playing it today, it's garbage.

-----------N64 was superior imo

-BEST 3D platformer OF ALL TIME in Mario 64. Some people even prefer Banjo or DK, though they aren't better games.

-Goldeneye and Perfect Dark of two of the best console multiplayer games ever made.

-Ocarina of Time is a better single player experience than anything being released today.

-Smash Bros on the 64 remains thebest Smash bros game to date.

-Mario Kart and DKR

-Turok

-Wave Race holds up even today.

-Blast Corps.

---------The 64 gave unique experiences.

Yes. I consider the Wii terrible.

I never played Silent Hill:Tony Hawk Pro skater, or Metal Gear Solid: Castlevania Symphony of the Night, those must of been amazing games. A survival Horror skateboarding game and Metal Gear Solid in Dracula's castle; I guess in this case, Sony does what Nintendon't.

Eh? N64 had way better graphics. Games like Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark and Majora's Mask wouldn't look nearly as good on the PS1 ;)

Oh man I definitely agree! Not only did it have the best gaming library ever, it literally changed the way I play video games. Of course, this is just my opinion!

I respect your opinion. However, I feel that the PSX was superior, simply because of the massive game library.

For me personally, once Iboughtthe must have N64 games, the library quality dropped off severely. I do still play my N64 today, and some of these game are still great, especially Mario Kart; but I could literally pick up any game in my PSX library and enjoy it as much as I did then.

The Atari is the Konsole King and you're all pitiful failures.

I'd also bring up SNES, but that has already been done.

I'm not bitter; really I'm not. I loved my N64 and Saturn but came to the conclusion that there had to be something about the Playstation that made 100 million people buy it. Running into several friends that owned the system, I asked to borrow several of their titles for the sake of reviewing; a week or so after playing the Playstation, I was ready to call it quits.

I'd take most every popular console over the PS1. Not a very good system imo.

Agreed. I'll take the Neo Geo over it. I don't know, I wasn't a big fan of it at all.

SNES is still the king by far

Obviously this is a complete opinion thread!

For me, the PS was by far the best console because of the quality RPGs that the console had. I really enjoyed my SNES RPGs a lot, but I simply enjoyed the PS RPGs much more. This is what put the console over the top for me!

As it has been said this is nothing more than an opinion thread. And on that note!:

PS1 was a great system to be sure, but the best? Eh.....nowadays I judge some games by how well they have aged and well...that's where the PS1 stumbles. The games were great for their time, but they aren't as easy on the eyes anymore. Nes, SNES, and Genesis games while being graphically simpler have aged better, which put them above PS1 easily.

Alot of the games didn't age well compared to the Genesis or the SNES. Could be the whole 2D/3D thing.

Although the PS1 was great, N64 was better IMO here are the reasons why, Zelda Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask Star Fox 64 Goldeneye 007 Perfect Dark Conker Banjo Kazooie/ Tooie Donkey Kong 64 All the other Mario games Kirby 64 Yoshis Story Glover Diddy Kong Racing

[QUOTE="tainted_lynx"]

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] the PS1 is a different kind of system , it had its strengths ,but 2D was not one of them sadly. alot of 2D PS1 games don't look nearly as good as their Neo Geo or Saturn counterparts. Saturn was a very good 3D system too , but you wouldn't know it from many of the early games for it. it was easier to achieve decent 3D graphics on Playstation (simpler hardware meant anybody and their grandma could make a decent looking 3D game), so it was kind of the right hardware at the right time sayyy-gaa

Alot of the games didn't age well compared to the Genesis or the SNES. Could be the whole 2D/3D thing.

I enjoyed the N64 a lot more than PS1. And there were quite some PS1 ports for the PC.

I have to jump on the SNES wagon as the #1 console. The SNES was graphically inferior to the Genesis, but it didn't matter a damn. To me, the jump from 8 bit to 16 was absolutely unbelievable. And it did have some stunning visual effects (Read: Super FX chip), complementary sound, and very good games. Whatever household games did not become big on the NES, they became big on the SNES. Approximately 1000 games were made. Many of them very, very good, and revered as all time classics. Now, the PS1 came out, and many of the games were too blocky. Extremely slow loading times (if you think PS2 was bad). Technologically, Sega Saturn was superior to the PS1, but lack of support, games, and prohibitive cost eliminated it from contention. In terms of technological advance, you could make an argument that the jump from PS1 to PS2 was the most 'eye-popping' In terms of aesthetic quality, SNES wins over PSX hands down.TerragonSix

Indeed it was awesome. I don't think we'll ever have as huge of a graphical jump as we did from the 16-bit era to the first 3D systems (PSX, Saturn, N64 & 3DO). Most of us gaming at the time had to change our entire gaming habits and the way we played a game because all the rules suddenly changed.

I don't know about that anymore. The jump from nes to snes was huge. I can remember being amazed at what was to come--the backs of game boxes, and overall what was delivered seemed perfect a lot of the times. The jump from snes to playstation was big as well, but you have to remember that Arcades were huge around this time as well. There were already far better looking driving and fighting games around. I can remember thinking even originally that a lot of playstation games looked bad and played clumsy. It really wasn't until Mario 64 arrived where the controls began to change. This is why N64 was a better console than the playstation, it just pushed things forward more.
