I suppose if the N64 was your first console ever, I can understand why you'd think that it was the best one ever.

You'd still be wrong, of course, but at least I can understand your bias.

SNES/Genesis were the best consoles ever IMO. Then again the ps2 is a close runner... Hmmmm.... I have also enjoyed the PC consistently from 2004 onwards and i think in terms of systems the PC will always win out.

I agree, although the SNES isn't too far from it if not better. Those were the days when nintendo owned. Last gen, it was the PC, this gen has to go to PS3.

I'm sure if you mean 100 like shovelware games, but if you compare the best PS1 games to the best N64 games, N64 might have the edge, but eventually quantity does matter, and the PS1 had a ton of great games, with some epic ones, the N64 might have had more epic ones, but it would only take a little while to finish all of them and to be left without much then to go back and play them again, while the PS1 had a ton of great games to fall back on for years and years afterwards.

Agreed TC, but it is of course just opinion. The N64 era was my peak of gaming. I was 12 then, maybe age is a big factor, but goddamn I just know I'm never gonna have the same level of fun out of gaming as I did with the N64. It's definitely my personal favourite console of all time. What really made it stand out were the standard 4 controller ports, 4 player Mario Kart, Goldeneye, WCW/NWO Revenge, Smash Bros.... OMFG. It will never be beaten :(.

That whole gaming era was just unbelievably awesome though man. N64 had all those games, along with Mario64 and Zelda OoT, PS had brought out MGS, RE2, Twisted Metal, Tekken, PC had come out with GTA and Half Life... all truly revolutionary games. What do we have this gen that you could call revolutionary as the aforementioned games? That's right, nothing.

That's because the the PS1's library was full of shovelware. You can say the same thing about the Wii's library.

the ps2/xbox/gamecube era had a few good franchises born but.

Really the PC has failed? :? I'm sat here looking at a stack of original titles, many from small or first time developers, even if the PC has failed at everything else then it has succeeded where the consoles have failed at giving the little man a voice, especially considering the dominance of JP and US on the 360/PS3.

The Z-Button and C Buttons were great for shooters and platformers. And the analog stick had a comfortable texture to it, so you wouldn't slip. The dualshock analogs are too rubbery

It was a great control, hate to use the word again, but it was the definition of revolutionary. However it's certainly not the best ever as the analog stick would seriously wear out. Though it is the father of modern controls, dual analogs do destroy the N64 pad.

[QUOTE="everquestlove"]- AAAAAAAA Games - Perfect Controller - Never Broke - Fast Load Times - Graphics were top notch, no need to go further - 4 Controller Ports Get N or GET OUT, CHANGE THE SYSTEM

The controller was the worst of the generation. An analogue stick that wore out and tore chunks of skin off during hardcore matches of Mario Party, a d-pad which was unyielding and the whole three pronged thing didn't really work out that well either. As for load times, I think the limitations of the cartridge format all but negates that strength when it missed out on games entirely. I don't remember PS1 missing out on games because it couldn't instantly load. Also four controller ports is not revolutionary either.

There is no problem, except the newer generation not acknowleding the N64 as a good console, because they heard it didn't sell as well as the Ps1. N64 was amazing

No, quality matters eg. I played zelda, smash bros, goldeneye, pd, banjo-kazooie soooo many times due to replayablity. I dont remember a single ps1 game i palyed more than once, really, i was such a playstation hater until this gen.

How is 4 Controller Ports not revolutionary?everquestlove

Because multitaps on both the Sega Megadrive/Genesisand SNES were around before N64, as well as the famous J-carts from Codemasters for games like Micro Machines, which had an extra 2 ports built into the game cart to plug in two extra pads with zero expense on extra multitapsfor the buyer. THAT was revolutionary.

4 ports as a standard on the console itself was convenient, but hardly revolutionary.

My favourite console of all time was my Megadrive, easily...

Because it had been done before. It wasn't the fact that the 64 hardware had 4 ports that made it special, it was the software (goldeneye, mario kart and mario party mainly) that brought it above the rest. Otherwise it could simply be said that the PS1 had the multitap, pity that no software really capitalised on it.
