1) Neo Geo -- for solid titles and longevity
2) Sega Saturn -- Great variety (if you include imports) - superior 2D games
3) Sega Dreamcast -- Ahead of it's time -- great mix of 3D and 2D -- homebrew (and pirate) paradise.

The Super Nintendo. It's so great they managed to sell a portable version and sell everyone a bunch of games they already bought before.

Super Nintendo. If only for Super Mario All-Stars.

SNES all the way.

It had Super Metroid, Castlevania 4, and Chrono Trigger. You don't really NEED more reasons than that, but the fact that there's about 50 others puts it way ahead.

Super Nintendo. It's just the classic example of a company doing everything right.

For 2-D gaming... Super Nintendo, hands down. The jury's still out on 3-D though.

The SNES for sure. Nothing has come close to the level of pure joy I got from that console.

Damn, I never even had the joy of playing the SNES. Parents couldn't afford it. I gotta dissent and say the ORIGINAL NES is still a king on the console front. That was Nintendo in its prime for me. Of course, my opinion is skewed by the fact that I just didn't have a chance to play any other console until I bought my own Playstation1 in college.

But I mean, the incredible library of games for NES, holy shit. Not every one was golden of course, but a large number of franchises started there. Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Mario, Gradius, and on and on. Konami, Capcom, etc. Great companies doing great things at the time.

For me, it has to be the Colecovision.

Super Nintendo.

So many classics came out of that console. Street Fighter II Turbo and Super Mario Kart in particular were pure addiction. And The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past still is the best Zelda, IMHO.

Definitely agree on SNES. 2D graphics age very well and even look better than many early 3d efforts. And of course this system has more classic franchises then you can shake a stick at.

If we're gonna separate it into 2D and 3D, the Dreamcast wins the 3D race.

Playstation 2, if only because it was "revolutionary" in allowing you to use it to play the previous consoles games (and doubled as the first DVD player for many people).

Technically, that was the SNES with the Super GameBoy.

You beat me to it! Of course, purists might dismiss it as a pc instead of a console, but the only thing I ever used it for was gaming. I'd still take a C64 over an SNES any day of the bloody week.

Not to mention the old Atari consoles.
