N64 hands down. I still talk with friends about the great times we had with our N64's. I can always bring up conversations involving Zelda: OoT, or Mario 64, or Mario Kart, or Mario Golf, Or Mario Tennis, or Golden Eye, Or Banjo Kazoie, or Donkey Kong 64, or Perfect Dark, or Pokemon Stadium, or Zelda: Majoras Mask, or Diddy Kong Racing, or Super Smash Bros, or all the other great games i had.Â
Last year my friends were sitting at school talking about the greatest game in the world Zelda: OoT, and how i flew through the water temple, and they all struggled.Â
I cant even remember the games i had on my PS1, I know i had a Yu-Gi-Oh game but thats it.Â
PS1 had MGS, FF 7, 8 and 9 among other great RPGs, Resident Evil, Castlevania SotN to round out some of its more popular titles.
N64 had Zelda OoT, Majoras Mask, Mario 64, 007, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart, Banjo and other great titles as well.
Its a toss up for me. Both consoles had roughly the same amount of outstanding titles.

No offense, but Donkey Kong 64 was.....awful. Collecting bannanas in bland levels wore out its welcome pretty quick. Out of my love for the SNES DK games I tried my best to enjoy it, but it just wasnt working.[QUOTE="RyanShazam"]No offense, but Donkey Kong 64 was.....awful.

Now if i probably played the game today, i would say the same thing, but back in the day i played the crap out of that game and loved every bit of it.Â

I here that man. Lots games I once loved would be just meh if I went and played em now. Still though N64 does have some timeless gems in its library.[QUOTE="RyanShazam"][QUOTE="treelog82"] No offense, but Donkey Kong 64 was.....awful.

i loved donkey kong 64, one of the greatest platformers imo.I think my problem was that it just wasnt platformer enough. Most platformers I really enjoy have slick momentum based mechanics and great level design that keeps offering variation to the core gameplay. DK64 was more about testing your patience by making you search high and low for X many bannanas rather than testing your skills with solid platforming mechanics.

I never got technical with my games back then. I think thats the reason why N64 was the best gaming i ever had. If a game was fun i loved it.Â
Now i look at all the technical aspects of games, and its a real turn-off now a days.
Plus reviews totally killed a lot of gaming for me. Every time im interested in a game i always check the reviews. Boy does that really annoy me. I try not to go off of reviews but when i see a low score hit a game its a giant turn-off.
I love both consoles but I'm going with my N64. The times I've had with Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda Ocarnia of Time, Super Mario Cart 64, and Super Smash Bro's can't be replaced with anything I played on the Playstation. On paper, Playstation whooped N64.CleanPlayerCloud Wasnt seen on the N64 Clean

Yeah I try to being swayed by reviews myself as it is just one mans opinion on a game. If a game gets bad reviews from every major site then yeah I'll probably pass on it. I know if I used GS reviews exclusively as method for choosing my purchases I would often buy trash and at the same time miss out on some great games.[QUOTE="RyanShazam"][QUOTE="treelog82"]I think my problem was that it just wasnt platformer enough.

There still is that little voice in the back of my head that says "the game only got a 6.5, are you sure you want it?" LOL. That's the reason i loved the N64 days, i would look at the back of the box and if the game looked fun i bought it. I don't ever remember buying a game i didn't like. I even thought Pilot Wings was fun. Wait that game got an 8.9. Ahh reviews are all over the place.Â
I think PlayStation was a better system because of its use of CDs and the fact that I think N64 had the worst controller ever designed.
But on the other hand, the N64 had more memorable and timeless games IMO. Sure, Metal Gear Solid was great, but in my eyes, it will never be of the same caliber as Ocarina of Time or Mario 64.Â
N64, for mario 64 and goldeneye alone, star wars: shadows of the empire, wave racer, smash brothers, and OOT. Â Phenomal system, playstation was amazing as well, doing link system with 2 ps1's, 2 copies of command and conquer and 2 tvs, oh man :X
Â
n64 gets my vote though, should have made this a pollÂ

I know how u feel man, back in the day i didn't look up review scores. Now im hesitant to even buy games below an A rating.[QUOTE="CleanPlayer"]I love both consoles but I'm going with my N64.

Indeed Man :o I completely Forgot about the pc portBoth were pretty awesome but I vote for the N64. The quality ratio on N64 was amazing.
Alot of great games came out on both. Tekken - resident evil - gran tourismo etc etc on PS1 are actually more my type of game, and yet, the magic of games like Zelda OOT, banjo kazooie, mario 64 etc hold more weight as time goes on.

Toshinden and Saga Frontier were trash. Some of the other games on that list where just meh. I hold both systems in the same regard.....maybe with the PS1 edging out the N64 for me simply because I love the old Jrpgs and Im an MGS fanatic. But in reality PS1 doesnt stomp N64 down to the ground. Both of them had roughly the same amount of absolutley amazing titles.
