"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

Depends how 'old-skool' you are. I wouldn't say I preferred the MD and SNES over this generation, but I still have love for them. These are the systems we grew up with - of course we're going to keep a special place for them in our hearts.

The Playstation 2 is the best console ever in my opinion, though I do remember the good old days of the Amstrad - however you spell that.

playstation 2 could never compare to the megadrive

I'd have to say the Playstation 2, though I've never even played on the Megadrive.

Do you suffer from short term memory loss?

Nope, still remember eating pizza at lunchtime.

I might have to say the N64 actually.

Then how can you make a comparison?

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...
