You could buy a multimega in Toys 'R' Us, that's mainstream enough for me

Vic-20 & Commodore 64/128

killergorilla · 30 August 2007, 20:20

Anyway...

I pick:

Sega Mega Drive
Sega Dreamcast

StrategyGamer · 30 August 2007, 20:31

This poll is missing:
Mattel Intellivision
Texas Instruments TI 99/4a
Tandy Color Computer (CoCo)

All 3 of those systems had lots of games.

In passing I will say that this poll covers far too large a timespan.

Dizzy · 30 August 2007, 21:45

Well this is to easy

DREAMCAST

and would have to say PC. I love most of my stuff and love to use them, but PC must be the one mostly used (for playing adventure games on

)

And the Dreamcast is the love of my life.....

In a word, no.

In two words, definitely not.

T_hairy_bootson · 31 August 2007, 01:30

Is dreamcast 90s?? thought it was 2000?

anyways mine are c64 and Gameboy.

Minuous · 31 August 2007, 04:36

I was going to vote for the Emerson Arcadia 2001 and the Interton VC 4000, however I don't see them, can you please add them?

EDIT: actually the Interton might be classed as a '70s machine, is there a reason 70s machines are excluded, seems a bit strange?

samklein · 31 August 2007, 06:17

Zx Spectrum known here in Brazil as TK95 and 486 PC...

November '98 in Japan, September/October '99 in the USA/Europe.

What about the Falcon, and that lean, mean RISC machine, the Archimedes?

I read somewhere they cranked the latter up to 18 mips in like 1989...

^ Edit: of course, you can't believe everything you read, but still...

whitegiant89 · 31 August 2007, 07:01

1. Commodore 64
2. SNES

as well as amiga's, sega master system, sega mega drive, NES, Lynx, Playstation and PC

Minuous · 31 August 2007, 07:48

"Panasonic 3DO" should be just "3DO", they were made by various companies, not just Panasonic.

Unless you are going to also include each and every IBM PC clone separately. :-)

manicx · 31 August 2007, 08:27

Atari ST and Amstrad CPC

Unknown_K · 31 August 2007, 08:46

1. C64
2. Sony Playstation

If I add these obscure (come on

) machines you've asked for the spread of votes will be way too thin. Don't forget we have limited members here and if everyone votes for a different obscure console nothing will ever win :/

Plus the fact that if I add 70's then the timespan is just WAAAY to big for a vote. I hope you understand

Crikey, I think that was a freudian slip. I didn't even noticed I'd typed it!

Agreed and added!

StrategyGamer · 31 August 2007, 10:23

My vote is for
C64
Atari 2600

Methanoid · 31 August 2007, 10:32

Atari ST(E) has to be there
plus the SMegadrive. I didnt own one for long but games-wise it kicked butt.. it had a great library and availability compared to SNES.

Charlie · 31 August 2007, 10:50

So hard to choose...
From the available list, in order of use:

Sony Playstation
BBC model B
( Damn, no room for Amstrad 464 )

You can't win on a poll like this:
RiscOS computers?
( Both my A3000 & RiscPC got a lot of gaming use - still do )
