Title: Gameboy or NES - which one? Or Xbox...

Which system ultimately brought you the most joy? Personally I was a bit too young when the NES was hot and thus passed it up; going back and playing those games now isn't fun either. On the other hand, I played endless hours on Pokemon Blue & Red, catching all 151 original pokemon and building the ultimate team. What say you getbig?

my then best mate, a fellow eleven-year-old NES-head was into Legend of Zelda. I remember trading him my Ninja Gaiden II cartridge for Battletoads and Operation Wolf.

I always preferred the Sega MasterSystem over the NES. Wasn't fussed with the Gameboy.

Although when the SNES came out that topped the lot.

NES no question.   How old are you?  I'm 23, and we played the hell out of NES. 

Gameboy was okay, I remember playing the Pokemon game for a couple months on it.

NES for sure.
Mario 1,2,3

Now the real question -

NES

Id say SNES - most of the great NES games were redone for SNES.
Plus -
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart
Final Fantasy III/VI
etc etc etc.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Super NES?  NES heyday was like 1985-1990, by the time you were five or six nobody was making very many games for it anymore.  It was discontinued in America in like 1995 I think.

SNES fer sure. Super Metroid and Super Mario Bros 3: a lot of hours/months lost there. Really fun games. I watch my nephew play the COD-type games these days, and realize that these are now beyond me, I am old.     ;D

Oh man. That brings back memories. I still have that in a box somewhere. Me and a buddy would play that for hours, all the while drinking pints. We knew a few of the combos for each character, but mostly we were button mashing. Fun, fun stuff.    ;D

Haha - I was only about 14 when it came out on the arcade. Used to use my entire weeks wages from delivering newspapers (about 20 bucks) and blow it all in a matter of minutes playing it at the arcade and never have any money left for my bus fare home. It appeared on the SNES a year later and I thought I was going to save a fortune but then I discovered Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazine. My life was over  ;D

Ok, we are of the same age but you were able to play NES games in the convenience and comfort of your crib. I'm sorry but I just wasn't as advanced as you!

I will continue to be the contrarian here and say Gameboy is better simply due to hours played. I always try and get into NES games and just feel punished due to the difficulty. Meanwhile, Pokemon had amazing gameplay mechanics and was an epic adventure (strip away the homo glean with the whole 'catch em all' shite and it was a genuinely amazing game from a design standpoint).

But maybe I just suck.

Not sure if serious.gif

Resident began in 1996 on the PS1. Speaking of Resident Evil, I'm pretty sure 3 was the best of the old breed of games, while 4 is simply one of the coolest games ever made.

lol j/k I love the RE series. My fav was RE 4. I must have beaten that game at least 30 times. RE 3 was my first RE game. It was really cool and one of the most scariest games I've played. And I always been into survival horror games :P

The best arcade game was the Ninja Turtles one where four people could play at once.

There was also an X-Men game where I think six people could play, it was gigantic.

Yup. Before this came out for SNES I used to hit up the local DQ or HEB and play there. I was so good, that if other people were there to bet, I could play for hours with 1 credit.  8)

Sadly, I still think Pokemon Red + Blue beats all of these out, as it is a deep RPG experience with potentially hundreds of hours of play available (plus competitive multiplayer). Speaking of which, were there ever any actual RPG's for NES?

There was a Super Mario RPG. That's the only one I remember.
