the Atari jaguar *spits* it was just so cack. It's joypad was massive it was like holding a whole keyboard in your hand.

it also wasn't true 32bit and the only good game i remember it having was Doom.

I also hated the master system it was a crappy little thing and what about the atri lynx hand-held which was like carrying a couple of bricks around.

so much cack

thats all that comes to mind really.

oh and the DC was great moron

I was a bit unfair on the N64, actually.

Ignoring the price and variety, AND the release dates, it did occasionally bring out some great games. Roque Squadron and Goldeneye to name two, of which is a short list to be honest. The PSX brought out a lot more top quality games, and there was something for everyone. Since I don't like Mario or Zelda, the N64 obviously wasn't for me.

And while the PSX is still going quite well, the N64 is basically dead over here with no release date for the GC! Absurd!

The N64.

The games cost way too much, the variety of genres wasn't wide enough and they specialiased in Mario/Zelda type games. Also, no Metal Gear Solid.

Oh, and the GBA too so far. Total crap. No decent games whatsoever, apart from Mario Kart, but we've played it before!

The megadrive games were just as good as the SNES ones, at least for the vast majority of the lifespan. It was only later on, when the 16bit era was fading that the SNES had any games which really used it's potential.

Megadrive was not the Playstation of it's era. Both consoles had a similar number of releases, for a start.
And Sega made good games.

My least favourite console of all time would be the Atari ST. It was around towards the end of the cassette era, and used a joystick rather than a pad. It had a pitiful selection of very poor games. No loading though, which was a novelty at the time.

The megadrive was an excellent machine! In fairness, the SNES was better, but that doesnt mean the MD was completely pants....

Sonic
Speedball 2
Micro Machines
Toe Jam and Earl
Desert Strike

The list is endless! I still have my megadrive (my SNES was sold, sadly but i'm on the lookout for a bargain) and I currently have over 80 games.

The Megadrive a.k.a the Playstation of its day.
It was always more popular with people of lesser gaming knowledge, who didn't know the SNES was miles better but where are you now Megadrive??
People still talk about all the great SNES games and the SNES games they want to see again on the GBA, but nobody talks about you anymore.
( Yes i am still bitter at the fact that it was more popular than the SNES )
