Enough of this chatter, you need to cast your vote! :D

The 3DO & CD-I were mainstream too, even if they were flops. ;)

Nuts to you, Retro-Nerd! :p

for me during the 80's it was

Spectrum and C64

for late 80's 90's it would C64 / Atari ST / Amiga 500


for 90's + it was

Amiga 1200 / Megadrive / Snes / PSX

late 90's (it was only here that PC's were worth something to own.. for me)

Amiga / PSX / PC

Never ask Zetr0 to do any of these voting type things, he'll just write you an essay instead... :D

Commodore Plus4 (my first computer)
PSX

I wonder, if he is able to invent a new gaming machine during this vote. :D

He stopped playing games when they stopped making them for his SinclairVision 48k CPC 64 +3 :D

plus/4 and vic-20, a commodore home was a happy home ;)

48k Rubbery Spectrum
C64.

Edit: I would have schoolyard arguments with myself.

You must be schizophrenic then ;)

okay okay..... i am back after adding 512kb ram to my 500 mobo.... so yes... i improved a gaming system *(while)* voting.... :D

hmmm this is a difficult vote PJ..... theres soooo many cool things.... but ... its soooo difficult......

80s would have to be specky / c64 but wich..... i had both.... luckly i managed to avoid school yard arguments by blagging specky AND c64 games :D

and the 90's..... sheesh..... okay...


Commodore 64

Playstation (later to be known as playstation 1)


in the process of this vote I have managed to

• updated a circuit schematic
• upgraded my 500 to accept 1MB of chip ram native on the mobo
• Set dinner up including Roast Chicken with mash / veg :D
• wrote this *small* essay about it..

oh its all good :D

Only 2 choices, very difficult to decide since I had the following and each meant alot to me:

... Atari 2600
... Commodore 64
... Sega Master System
... Sega Megadrive
... Super Nintendo Entertainment System
... Nintendo 64
... Playstation

I always wished that I had a PC-Engine and a Neo-Geo though.

Hmmm ok, let's go for Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Playstation ;)

...now, if you allowed Japanese PCs / consoles my choice may have been a bit different with the inclusion of FM Towns and X68000 :shocked

Commodore 64 and the Super NES. :D

Good choice double D Damien!

very 90's too :)

1. Acorn Electron / BBC b (roughly the same)
2. Sega Saturn

acorn electron(i was buying games for that right until the end in 1990) spectrum128k.
