But why should hindsight have any role in your choices? It surely should be based on the fun you had with the machines at the time?
Hindsight blinds people alot, esp in things like prices of games, and in the case of the N64 was with its vomit enducing low res and blurry graphics, its only now when people use emulators with filters and high res modes people base their judgement that the N64 was like that on a CRT screen when it was far from the truth for many, i rate the N64 as one of Nintendos worst machines, sure it had Goldeneye, Waverace and Mario 64 but a handful of great games on a awful piece of backward thinking piece of hardware with £60-£70 games does not make a great games machine imo.

The Megadrive was “cool” and “hip” the SNES was always lamented for being a “Fisher Price” console
