The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Note: All data according to a comprehensive, multi-format and unbiased news site.
I searched a reviews website for games that scored above 80% on both the N64 and PSone. The search returned:
67 N64 games, ranging from Zelda: OOT to X-Men: Mutant academy.
152 PSone games, ranging from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 to Brave Fenser Musashi.
So there were 85 more good games on the PSone. Even if you have a higher opinion of a good game, there are still:
13 N64 games ranging from Zelda: OOT to Turok 2.
23 PSone games ranging from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 to Winning Eleven 4.
Scoring 90% or more.
So, make of this what you wish, but I think next time someone says that Nintendo games are better, they should think carefully first.

Okay, the figures are pretty much irrelevant, because these ratings are only what the *reviewer* thought of the games. They don't mean that a game *is* actually good - that's down to the opinion of the individual.
But assume just for a moment that review scores are absolute proof of a game's quality, and that you have no bias or preference for any one platform over another. (I know it's hard, but try - just for a minute...)
Someone places two games consoles in front of you.
Console A has only ten games available, of which seven are obviously good or excellent games because they scored over 85% in the reviews.
Console B has thirty games available, of which 10 games received over 85% in the reviews.
Console A has a percentage of 70% 'great' games. But only seven worth getting.
Console B has a percentage of 33% 'great' games. But ten worth getting.
Do you go for the higher percentage, or the wider choice of games?

Lol, I can just imagine you Ben, sitting at a desk in shirt, tie, blazer and cap with a pencil in your hand scribbling furiously, working out sums...
:-D
:-D
Quite true Meka.
If you get the Percentages going you'll find that the N64 would come out top.

He would have been a superhero in his own right, but everyone had a problem saying his name....

Unfortunately yes. For I am Math-Boy. I see numbers and I need more, I must compile accurate statistics from them and analyse in great depth.

Ok....For those that didn't read my reply earlier.
Count how many games that are available on N64.
Now go and count the number there are for Playstation.
Sorted.

Has anyone actually noticed that the games on a Nintendo console, on the whole, differ greatly from those on the Playstation.
Some of us peeps prefer one, some the other.
Question:
How many games IN TOTAL are reviewed for each machine, and which machine has the greater percentage of good games?

I'm still waiting Turbo. You were saying something about telling us some interesting facts... ;-)
But seriously. One point about all this is that there are games for each system that are not available on the other, and it's really a choice of the type of game you want to play and whether it's available on that system.
The other point, as previously mentioned, is that a review score is based on the OPINION of the person reviewing that game and other people's opinions may differ.
You seem a little unstable about something, perhaps you have a Playstation and are trying to justify to yourself why you didn't buy an N64? Don't worry, there are plenty of people enjoying the N64 and NOT worrying that other people may be playing one or two games more than them.
Anyway, how many games can you play at once, and how many can you afford? I think drinks are on Turbo....

Lol, the Sonyphiles say the same about us!
