dereksworl · 07-11-2008, 01:31 PM

mine was the Virtual boy. not because i liked or miss it. only because i think it was hilarious on nintendo's part. What were they thinkin'!?

andrewski1979 · 07-11-2008, 01:42 PM

Dreamcast.

That system had so much potential.

DetroitSportsFan · 07-11-2008, 01:42 PM

I enjoyed 3DO the most, with Dreamcast a close second.

Go Blue · 07-11-2008, 02:36 PM

I loved the sports games on the Dreamcast, especially their Hockey game, forget the name of it.

NHL2K's?

but dreamcast for me. it was ahead of its time..

Roland1919 · 07-11-2008, 03:18 PM

Shenmue and Vitual Tennis showed so much promise for the DreamCast.

Thats right. Weren't they the first to release that series?

Dreamcast...hands down. Whenever my old high school buddies come back home from far off, I pull it out and we are up playing Soul Caliber for hours.

sssick · 07-11-2008, 03:39 PM

Dreamcast, I loved Soul Reaver.

AliceT · 07-11-2008, 03:52 PM

Well one of them isnt on the poll, but I REALLY loved my Saturn and Dreamcast. I've always loved sega's systems but those 2 had such potential. The Saturn was great mostly because of the import titles, I had more of those than domestic! lol. All the capcom fighting games and such.

thelaserdisc2000 · 07-11-2008, 03:58 PM

Dreamcast. I liked having the feeling of Being the only one on the block with a dreamcast. I feel that with PS3 and Blu-ray at the moment.

Seboist · 07-11-2008, 04:03 PM

Since Virtual Boy was my only failed or short lived console I voted for it. The Wario game I had for it was one of the best games ever imo.

+1. NFL 2K5 was and still is the best football game ever IMO.

Was that the one with TO on the cover, when he was an Eagle? I loved the game and their $19.99 price also.

I hated that I had to buy Madden for the PS3.

Monkey · 07-11-2008, 04:52 PM

I used to love playing PC Engine (Turbo Grafix 16) for games like Blazing Lazers, Bomberman and some other shooters.

Saturn was awesome for Saturn Bomberman, Virtua Fighter 2, Panzer Dragoon Zwei.

yeah, that is the one. it completely crushed madden to me. thats why they bought the NFL exclusive, because they were scared of what NFL 2K was capable of.

<That was EA.......

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 07-11-2008, 05:02 PM

yea, i also used to play a game call Tokyo Racing..

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 07-11-2008, 05:07 PM
