Whatever system/console you choose, you're always garaunteed to miss out on some top games.
I've known countless Playstation owners who'd never those an N64 over their own machine but loved Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 and couldn't get enough of it.
I'd never buy a Playstation but I'd still would've liked to have played through games like Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid.

For every system you played but never owned, list the 5 games you missed the most on it.

I'll start.
I've had an Amiga, a Master System and an N64.

On the Snes:

Super Mario world - One of the greatest 2D platformers ever.
Donkey Kong Country - THE greatest 2D platformer ever!
Final Fantasy 3 - A great RPG I only played a bit of.
Metroid - Never played it but everywhere I hear how great it was.
Zelda - Having played it's N64 sequel, I really want to play this one.

There was the Mega Drive:

Sonic 1 - Played the inferior Master System Version and always wanted it's better counterpart.
Sonic 2 - Like the first only better.
Sonic 3 - I was really into Sonic, I would've bought the Mega Drive but I never got the chance...
Sonic and Knuckles - Well the others weren't complete without this one.
Fifa - Fifa was good in the days of the Mega Drive. It was a good 3 years before it got stupid.

I never played a Saturn (although I know of a fair few titles that are meant to be good, e.g. Nights and Panza Dragoon)

The Dreamcast (Which I would've bought had I not played Goldeneye!):

Sonic Adventure - I hardly need tell you...
Crazy Taxi - Brilliant idea, brilliant game. It also reminded me that Americans drive on the right hand side :-D
Shenmue - Not actually played it but seen enough of it to know I'd like it.
Phantasy Star Online - I won't miss out on this one though. It's on the Gamecube too.
Sonic Adventure 2 - ...

There's the Playstation:

Crash Bandicoot - This was Donkey Kong Country gameplay with a neat 3D twist.
Final Fantasy 7 - I got sucked into the story line at a friends house but never got to go very far. The unfinished story is killing me...
Metal Gear Solid - Very unique and original game.
Teken 3 - The N64 never did get a serious beat-em up.
Point Blank - I thought that this game was stupid and rubbish until I played it at the arcades. Dangerously addictive!

I've not played any PS2 titles yet but I'm sure there's some fair ones around too.
