"NEW OR old ?"

Ive had most of the old games consoles like super nes, megadrive, atari and played most games on them classics like street fighter and mario and pong ive spent much more time on these games getting much more excitement out of them. Even though these games are simple id much prefer to play streets of rage than the new graphically inhanced harry potter game anyone think im wrong new or old i definately prefer the megadrive to the ps2 or gamecube

I prefer all the new consoles to the old ones.

I did only have 4 games for my MD. But they provided me much more fun than my thirteen ps2 games together. Old school Sonic kicks GTA's ass!

Is this a case where everything is relative. I mean, in years to come people will be using the latest consoles like PlayStation5 or XBox 4, and PlayStation2, GC, and XBox could looked on by that generation as the better "classic" option, like some people look back now and say megadrive is better.

Why not? Are you blind?

But unless you try, you will never know.

Never make assumptions.

Can't see much beating the Playstation 2.

I can see where you're coming from, the Megadrive was definitely a fun console and was admittedly my first serious one. But you all seem to be mentioning Playstation 2 when making comparisons. What about Gamecube, Xbox or even N64? Dreamcast anyone? These are all groundbreaking consoles that have all revolutionised the gaming industry in one way or another. You can't deny that. The Playstation 2 didn't really do anything outstanding and unique now, did it?

Peronally, I enjoyed the Megadrive more than the PS2, but it doesn't have a patch on the fun I've had with my DC, N64, GC or Xbox...

I might have to say the N64 actually.

Nope, still remember eating pizza at lunchtime.
