I have owned: NES, SNES, Gameboy, Super NES, Playstation.
I would have to say out of all of then, the NES was my fav. but I sold it to my brother so I could get the SNES. That was really stupid I know. Mind you the SNES was good too.

I learnt after swapping my first genesis for a snes never to get rid of an old console. The nostalgia of getting it out in a few years far exceeds and small "cash back" in part exchange or sale.

They recently (for only about 2 weeks) had them in all the South Wales games shops. They also had atari lynxes and Game gears (all brand new) for sale. IT was really weird, they must have had a load in a warehouse they'd forgotten about.

The only console I've ever had is the DC. I bought it really cheap (550SEK) last summer. Mainly because of Crazy Taxi and CT2.

I only got one about 6 months ago, I probably play Crazy Taxi 2 most- my girlfriend likes it and always insists on playing it when she comes over.
I'm not sure about an absolute favourite, either Soul Calibur (Tekken 4 is rubbish in comparison) or MSR.
How about you?

I'm not sure about an absolute favourite as well! I just can't pick! It would be out of MSR, Soul Calibur, Shenmue or Jet Set Radio.
Most people think I'm crazy but when I first heard news about the new Sega console I felt that this was the console for me. I felt somehow contected to it (Yes, I'm not on drugs!!) lol
I'm such a Dreamcast holic, I buy anything with a Dreamcast logo on it, I watch Arsenal games purely to see the logo!! (BTW, Go the Gunners!!)
I just love it so much, I'm very passionate about the whole thing and very angry how it all turned out :(
Still the ones who missed out have missed a lot of great gaming (IMO).
Been playing heaps of Rez lately!
Long live Sega!!

I've got all the games you said as favourites!
I really can't think of any Dreamcast games I *HAVE* to get - I've got all the classics...
Its a shame that in games as in music so much is due to successful marketing rather than the quality that decides what gets bought...

Ha ha, but Nintendo has exclusive rights to all future rez games inc. res 4!

"Its a shame that in games as in music so much is due to successful marketing rather than the quality that decides what gets bought..."
I totally agree with you.
I forgot to mention Toy Commander. It's rather under-rated. It's so addictive and fun, it's clear it was made and crafted with so much love!
It's such a pity that Toy Commander's developers No Cliché went out of business. They were developing this awesome horror title called Argatha. It will probably never be released :( It just make me really mad whtn lots of crap games come out and some really talented people can't get their games released because there system is regarded as uncool or people don't know or don't care about it because it does not have successful marketing.
Gamers Republic was like my bible, until it finished because probably of poor sales. It seems as if every 'hardcore' gaming mag has vanished (Next Gen, Game Fan, GR etc). Pity, Gamers Republic was my favourite mag, always supported the Dreamcast. The design was second to none (IMO), they loved gaming and it really showed. And on many occassions in their top 5 most listened to CD's Aphex Twin was there many times!!! =D
I'll stop ranting now! I gotta get some sleep!

I think the DC is the best next gen console out of the PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox.
The graphics are better than the PS2 & Gamecube and the games are better than the Xbox (Even though they got the MSR sequel- project gotham :( ).
It's also much cheaper and has 4 joypad ports as standard and a modem included.
And it make a great noise as it connects to the internet!

Maybe, but as of a few days ago, all future rez game rights have been guaranteed to nintendo systems. They're also remaking ALL the existing ones (except survivour) for the Gamecube.
I only have Res 3 on the PSone. It's good, but not really my kind of game.

Rez = United Games Artists game that came out on Dreamcast. If Sega never lost so much money and had to abandon the Dreamcast hardware Rez would have been Dreamcast exclusive. Sigh, so many great titles no one knows about. Atleast with the Dreamcast's faliure more people are getting to play their games, like Asche XL! Rez rocks!
Res/sometimes Rez = short name for Resident Evil. Nintendo do have the series exclusive! That's what Ceri means when he says of the 4 rez games! Probably!!

I was playing F-zero today and thinking about rez when I had what is,IMO, a brilliant idea for a game. A very fast futuristic bike game (think extreme-g) where each section of the track has a note. Therefore, the faster you go the quicker the music. When you're stopped it just plays the same note again and again (this could be used like the 3 starting beeps in racing games at the very start of the race. Third note and you're off!), when driving the wrong way, the music would play in reverse.
You could even make it so that you could put your own music CD in and it'd generate a tracka round it (like Vib Ribbon.)
What do you lot think?
