If you could only own four consoles...
...which would they be?
For me, in no particular order:
Neo-Geo Consolized MVS (To get my fighter fix)
PC-Engine Turbo Duo-RX (Dracula X: Rondo of Blodd. 'nuff said!)
SNES (greatest 16-bit console ever!)
JPN Sega Saturn (to get my shmup fix)
How about you guys?

Re: If you could only own four consoles...
This one's easy:
7800, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast.
Personally I can live without anything Nintendo, being limited to four consoles only. I wish I could have only four computers (C128, Tandy 1000SL, 800XL, and 520STFM)

Re: If you could only own four consoles...
Genesis (crapload of games, many cheap, fun, and easily available)
Atari 7800 (ditto, due to 2600 compatibility)
Vectrex (homebrews)
computer with MAME and tons of ROMs on it? Ok, GameBoy Advance or Playstation 2 then! (neither one I even have right now, but again, lotta games, most of which would be new to me! Yay!)

Re: If you could only own four consoles...
My priorities are different, I think rarity. So, for me:
1) Halcyon. By a mile.
2) Adventurevision
3) Select-A-Game
4) Bandai Pippin (AtWorld American version)

Re: If you could only own four consoles...
For playability I would say:
DREAMCAST : Good games, emulation etc
Playstation 2: Hey, it's Backward compatible with PS1!!!!!!!
Xbox: OK not the greatest library but throw in also awesome emulation ( modded XBOX)
Super NES: Nothing else to say, it is awesome.............

Re: If you could only own four consoles...
I'd probably have to go-
PS2- Tons of great titles and compilations, and for the fact that its backward compatible with the PS1.
Atari 7800- If not only for the fact you get not only the 2600 library but the 7800's (although small) great one as well.
Sega Genesis- Possibly the most played system of my youth... And I could possibly cheat and get a power base converter and have the SMS library also.
Gamecube- Honestly, I could really care less about the system, but if I could get a Gameboy player attached to it you instantly have a library that can be matched by no other console.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Re: If you could only own four consoles...

Re: If you could only own four consoles...
Interesting to see that most of you favor Sega and Atari. I posted this another forum and the majority was SNES. Nice to see different gamers with different tastes.

I think I would do nicely with an Xbox packed full of emulators and roms.
